My Blush + Bashful Dressing Room Progress Update

If you’ve been following along, then you know that I've had a few projects going on around my house these last few months! I started working on My Dressing Room Makeover a little before I took on My Pantry for the One Room Challenge, and refreshed My Entryway with the paint color that I’ve always wanted it to be!

Although I still have some projects to complete in here - I’m finally at a place where I can share some of the progress with My Dressing Room Makeover!

This is a space I use every day and it has been partially unfinished in a lot of ways since we moved in. I am ready to finally finish it out and make it the over-the-top girly dressing room of my dreams! I can’t wait to share the entire process with you so you can follow along and help me make decisions along the way!

Fall Home Tour 2021: Welcoming & Warm Vintage Cottage Style Entryway

I’m starting off this years fall home tour with my autumn entryway! If you’ve been following me for the past few months, then you know I just recently redesigned this entire area for the 2021 One Room Challenge. I really wanted this area to be welcoming and cozy but also very unique!

Once I had completed The One Room Challenge, I realized I had even more to look forward to with all of the new possibilities that lay ahead for seasonal decor in my newly designed space! There’s nothing like a redesigned room to provide inspiration and new life to existing seasonal pieces that were packed in boxes awaiting their fall debut. From the colors in the vintage stair runners, to the pattern in the floral wallpaper, I knew these and so many other new details would perfectly compliment my fall decor.

As many of you know, I like to decorate my home using a mix of vintage, new, and custom DIY pieces. Check out the detail shots of both areas below to see how I used a mix of these items to style my entryway for fall. I will also link as many exact items as possible for y’all to shop, but since many pieces are vintage or one-of-a-kind, I will link a few similar options too! I hope you gain some inspiration for your fall decor and Happy Fall Y’all!

One Room Challenge 2021: Week 7- The Home Stretch

I feel like I say this every week, but I REALLY cannot believe we are down to the final week of this season’s One Room Challenge! I have so much work to do still but I also am getting so excited by the progress and how everything is coming together! This week we completed a BIG part of the project, the wallpaper downstairs! Don’t get too excited though because you don’t get to see it until the final reveal! I’ll share a few fun sneak peeks though this week! I plan on doing a whole post after the challenge wraps up too about wallpaper tips and tricks I picked up this go around and the tools I recommend.

One Room Challenge 2021: Week 3- Dutch Door, Wallpaper, + More Updates

{One Room Challenge Week 3 Update} Well this should be the week everything starts falling into place and I start rolling on this project. Unfortunately that is definitely not the case. None of my projects are going to plan so far and I can’t even get a quote for the renovation portion of my project from anyone. I’m feeling beyond frustrated and defeated this week, which I don’t let happen often. Here’s all the updates I have for this week:

Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: Linen Closet

Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: Linen Closet

Our next finished space for the Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge is the Linen Closet. I decided to go for a printed wallpaper to add a little pop of color and pattern to an otherwise blah space. You can see all the closets that inspired me, and read about the purging and organizing process here. Applying the wallpaper only took me about an hour, but made a HUGE impact. I’m so happy with how it turned out and all the items I added to help keep it organized. I added so much space by just transferring a few items to the door and adding those shelf dividers. All of these products were purchased from Amazon, so this is a perfect project that is relatively easy to accomplish and makes your home function SO much better. Check out the end results and shop all the pieces I used below!
