Here We Go! I'm Participating in the One Room Challenge!



 

It's that time of the year. The One Room Challenge Spring 2024 is on and I'm very excited to be participating again. My last ORC was the Spring of '22 and I worked on my outdoor space. I so wish I could show you the work I did, but sadly, I lost all of my blog post due to changing my blog host and forgetting to save everything before I deleted the previous server. In any event, this challenge is going to be the best on yet as I tackle my junky laundry room. First, let me give you a brief insight about what the One Room Challenge is. Back in 2011, Linda Weinstein decided to gather a small group of online friends to hold each other accountable while working on one room in their home. It turned into a large online community that showcases the progress of renovating one room in each participant's home without competition, but encouragement and motivation to complete it in 8 weeks. I'm going to need all the encouragement I can get so let me show you a few before pictures..


Before



Ok, here's a look of how it looks currently. I love my washer and dryer and my table that my husband made, so those things will be staying. The other stuff all needs to go!!


The Inspiration




This laundry room is going to be SO good!!! Beautiful wallpaper, a new light fixture and rug, cabinets and floating shelves, and wainscoting on the wall. I may add a few more things (if time allows!) but overall, I'm loving this vibe. I hope you follow along with my along with the other participants and check out my sponsor list below to see how wonderful they are in helping me to create my dream laundry room- NOVO Building Products, Milton & King and Spoonflower.




Thanks again to the ORC for putting together an amazing online event!




Next up, working on preparing the walls and getting the ceiling ready for wallpaper- YIKES!!!


Until Next Time,

Hey Hey! Wow, what an exciting project ahead! Your vision for your laundry room is absolutely inspiring, and I can't wait to see how it all comes together over the next 8 weeks. It's incredible how the One Room Challenge brings together such a supportive community of renovators and decorators.


I'm curious, with all the fantastic elements you have planned, how do you prioritize your tasks to stay on track within the 8-week timeframe? Do you have any tips for managing such a comprehensive renovation while balancing other commitments?


Looking forward to following your progress and cheering you on every step of the way! Best of luck with preparing the walls and tackling that ceiling – you've got this!

Hey friend!

Sorry for the late response. I try to write everything done that I KNOW I need to work on and put them in order of importance. I could probably get this area done in under 8 weeks, so I really try to space tasks out and account for things like, life! I can't wait to see you finished space as well.

Take care,

Tracey
