How to Create and Install a DIY Vintage Rug Stair Runner
Probably the most fun project of my entire one room challenge entryway makeover was the vintage rug stair runner. I have been dying to do this for years and had multiple inspiration photos saved. I knew it would fit so perfectly in this space and add such character as well. I was also pleasantly surprised with how easy installing a stair runner was and how smoothly the process went! I have gotten so many questions about how I completed it, so I wanted to share a full post with allll the details, and what I learned.
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!
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 6- Upstairs Desk Nook + WALLPAPER Sneak Peek!
How is it already Week 6?! I feel like this year’s challenge is moving twice as fast as last years! This week I FINALLY feel like I’m making progress. It’s still going to be a sprint to the finish line but I’m finally getting somewhere and finally have some exciting peeks to show you (including WALLPAPER!). I will link all my sources for everything I’m sharing this week at the end of this post.
One Room Challenge 2021: Week 5- The Regroup Week, Vintage Rugs, Paint Colors, + More!
Welcome to week FIVE of the One Room Challenge. This week was the week of regrouping for me. I had to come to terms with the fact that everything I had planned for the space is just not going to happen in the 8 week timeline as I cannot get any contractors or subs scheduled with how busy everyone is. I want everything done right, and want to use people I trust, so I would rather wait than rush it. I have decided I will do two reveals instead! I will still do a reveal at the end of 8 weeks with a good deal of projects done- wallpaper, upstairs desk area, new dutch door, gallery wall/stair landing feature wall, light fixtures, and a partial (possibly entire) staircase runner.
One Room Challenge 2021: Week 4- Lighting + Upstairs Nook
This week I’ve been focused on the upstairs nook and trying not to panic that we are already HALFWAY through the challenge. I also ordered a wallpaper BUT that is going to be a surprise for you to see later! In the meantime, take a look at some of these fun light fixtures and ideas I have in mind for the upstairs area of the entryway. I have added sections for you to vote for your favorites of each below to help me decide!
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:
One Room Challenge 2021: Week 2- The Great Wallpaper Debate
This past week I’ve been mostly focused on narrowing down selections for the space and meeting with more contractors about the renovation side of the project. I wanted to share the wallpapers I’m debating against, and just to warn you, there’s A LOT. I kept trying to narrow it down but then I would find more options! I shared a little on Instagram but a lot of you asked for sources so I figured this would be the easiest place to share since they’re all from different places! As you can tell, I’m leaning towards a more floral style print which I obviously love in all aspects of my life- clothing, decor. accessories, etc.
