Master Bedroom Progress & Setbacks (ORC Week 2)
We made it to week 2 of our One Room Challenge master bedroom makeover. If you missed last week, you can head there now to get up to speed with our vision for the completed space. Today we'll give you a glimpse inside the bedroom as it is now & fill you in on what we've been up to over the last week.
ORC Week 4 – Setbacks
I just had a feeling things were moving along a little too smoothly.... It's week 4 of our One Room Challenge where we're participating along with the 20 designers & over 150 bloggers in the linking event over at Calling it Home to transform a space in just 6 weeks. If you've been following along on our progress to complete our #DreamBedroom & #MasterBathRetreat, you'll know that thus far in Week 1, Week 2 & Week 3, things have been moving along at a good pace. But what challenge would be complete without a few setbacks right?? Well this seems to be our week for that across the board....
One Room Challenge Week 5: Getting back on track
We're back with week 5 and after our setback a couple of weeks ago we're finally on our way to getting this One Room Challenge back on track. That said, we've still got a LONG way to go to make our six week deadline.
When tiling goes wrong…
Soooo we've hit a setback with the tiling for Operation Organized Entryway. If you follow us on Instagram, you might have already seen this. Remember our beautiful honed grey basalt tile that I love and was ranting & raving over in our last post?? Yea....well.... here's how it looked the next day once the tiles were set & we snapped off all of the leveling clips...
The Race Against the Elements!
You may have noticed that we've been a little quiet on the house front for the last couple of weeks. Well, you're right. We have, and the main reason: WINTER. Now on a normal year, we aren't winter's biggest fans, but this year we're especially bitter as the sudden influx of full blown arctic weather has essentially thrown our construction schedule to the wolves!
Playing Musical Blocks…
Who would have figured that building a house would be so drama filled! So the latest chapter to our story is about blocks. Yes those very same cinder blocks used to build the foundation. The story is a little complicated but we'll will start at the beginning and try to make it as simple as possible...
The Waiting Game
It's been about a month since our last post which we know is a VERY looong time! You must be wondering what Team Dreamhouse has been up to. In all honesty...nothing. Well, okay we put up a construction fence. But, otherwise - a whole lot of nothing. We sourced some window quotes & lined up a whole slew of trades, but for the most part, we've just been playing the waiting game with the city for our building permit.
UPDATE: The demo continues…
The demo crew has been VERY busy while we were away. With the exception of the one load bearing wall frame & the main floor bathroom, this house issue is gutted!
