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 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.

One Room Challenge 2021: Week 1- Project Intro + Plans!

For this year’s One Room Challenge I will be making over MY ENTRYWAY! I ultimately decided on this space because it has so much potential and I had a lot of fun projects in mind for it that I thought would be perfect to showcase in this challenge. It’s not a space we use much right now or that I have enjoyed looking at lately, BUT I’m excited to make it brighter, cozier, and hopefully more open (more on that below)!

Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: How to Organize Your Children's Clothes

The next space up on our organizing challenge is kid’s clothing storage. Somehow I’ve never made a good system with how I organize and store JW’s clothes, so this was something I was really excited to get started. I have linked everything that I used at the end of this post for you to shop as well!

Storage Carts for Your Bathroom

Let’s talk about storage carts! these little wonders are the perfect, affordable way to add a ton of extra storage without taking up a lot of square footage! I love using them in offices, closets, laundry rooms, kitchens, and of course, bathrooms! I recently added this little 3 tier cart to our guest bath and it’s a game changer for organizing all my bath/beauty products and John Woodford’s bath toys! I added a basket to the bottom shelf to hide bath toys and used various trays and organizers on the top two shelves for other soaps, bath, and beauty products. I can even roll it around the space as I need it- by the sink or by the tub!
