ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 8: Final Reveal of my Dream Vintage Cottage Pantry Makeover
The big reveal is finally here and I still can’t believe that we pulled this off in time! This space encompasses ME possibly more than any other room I’ve ever designed. In the midst of a challenging personal week, when I could’ve easily thrown in the towel, I threw all my emotion and energy into this space, and I think you can see that in every corner and detail. Not to mention, for the second time I failed to realize we were leaving on vacation in the middle of the final reveal week, cutting my time short (also did this with my playroom makeover on my first round in 2020!). Despite all that, we have a finished space that I am so proud of!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 5: The Great Cabinet Color Debate!
It’s Week 5 and time to finally settle on a cabinet color! I have been going back and forth with this decision from the beginning but cabinets are going in next week and must be painted so I have to make the final call! My original inspo for this space had both dark and moody paint colors as well as these bright and fun, green and yellow colors. I ultimately settled on the brighter color scheme since I have so much vintage and retro dishware to display and I feel like it will flow better with my collections overall. Also it just makes me so happy to look at and I think that’s important!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 4: Sink Updates, Rearranging, + More!
I can’t believe we are officially halfway there in this year’s One Room Challenge! I am definitely feeling more behind than usual (which is saying A LOT) and it’s going to be a serious race to the finish line this year! Even though I do feel like I’m crawling along, we did accomplish a lot this week! The space is a MESS right now but for good reason- read along below for all the updates!
ORC Pantry Makeover- Week 3: My Perfect Facebook Marketplace Find + Cabinet Layout
This week I finalized and ordered all the cabinets for the back wall of the pantry which will house the bulk of the storage for the space. I was able to get ALL the cabinets (uppers and lowers) for over 12 ft of space for under $1,700! This was a big win for me if you know how expensive cabinets can be and I was still able to get exactly what I wanted. This was mostly made possible by another lucky Facebook marketplace find of these amazing antique glass front cabinets! I was able to get 4 for $175 each and they just happen to be the exact size I need to go all the way to the ceiling on the top half of the wall. They have the most beautiful paned glass fronts and even little drawers at the bottom of each! I couldn’t believe they fit the exact size I needed not only height-wise, but also are a standard width so I could get lower cabinets to match. These will all be stripped and refinished/repainted and new hardware added.
One Room Challenge 2023- Week 2: Wallpapers, Sinks, + More I’m Loving for the Pantry
This week I have been narrowing down selections for our pantry space and trying to build a general color scheme. As usual, I started with wallpaper to get inspired by the colors and prints! Not even sure exactly where we’ll be using this- whether on the walls, backsplash, or back of shelves, but definitely going to add some wallpaper accents somewhere! Check out some of my favorite picks so far below!
One Room Challenge 2023: Pantry Project and Plans
It’s our favorite time of year again- The One Room Challenge! I have been so excited to reveal my project this year that I have had selected for quite some time. This year I will be making over my…..pantry! This is going to be such a fun space to transform and I have so many ideas for it that I have been saving for years.
Primary Bathroom Makeover- One Room Challenge: Week 8- The Big Reveal!
The big day is finally here and after several late nights- my bathroom makeover is officially complete! I am so in love with how it turned out- it’s even better than what I was picturing in my head! I definitely feel like my overall ideas and vision for the space transformed over the 8 weeks as I would complete more and more. Coincidentally it really took until the final week for me to hone in on the final, complete look and from there, I couldn’t work fast enough! Somehow I feel like even though this is the smallest room I’ve ever tackled for the One Room Challenge, it was the most labor-intensive of them all! I don’t think I ever want to see a paintbrush again for quite a while! Even though it was a ton a work, I am so pleased with the end result and can’t wait to now enjoy a beautiful finished bathroom! Let’s take a look at where I started, just 8 weeks ago below!
One Room Challenge 2021: Final Reveal- Entryway Makeover
I am so excited to share the FINAL REVEAL of this year’s one room challenge space, my entryway. From the wallpaper, to the dutch door, to the vintage rugs, and gallery wall, this space is totally ME and it now makes a statement when you open the door. This was definitely one of the most challenging projects I have ever taken on and it seemed like I just was hitting setback after setback at the beginning. I am so happy with how everything ended up coming together though and it all ended up being worth it in the end. I literally worked down to the last minute possible and took photos right before the good light went away on Thursday!
