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.
DIY Valentine String Art
Valentine's Day isn't usually a holiday we really get into around our house. Sure most years, I make valentine cards for Kash, or bake goodies for his class parties, but Kes and I tend to keep things pretty low key. Typically we'll just cook a nice meal for one another or catch a movie. It's been years since we've exchanged gifts and I can't remember any year where I've felt the need to decorate the house. This year however, with everything going on in the world I kinda feel like we could all use a little more love in our everyday lives. I decided to make this DIY Valentine string art to inject a little 'heart' into the Dreamhouse - and to serve as a gentle reminder to show love for one another, no matter our differences.
10 minute DIY: Ornament string garland
You guys!! How is it already the second week of December?! Am I the only one who feels like this month is flying by? Christmas will be here before you know it & if you've been following us on Instagram you know we've been hard at work getting the Dreamhouse all snazzied up for Christmas. Our tree is up & I've been working on a few quick & easy crafts to add to our festive decor. I'm all about crafts that are simple & don't take up too much time so I thought I'd share this one that literally took me 10 minutes and cost next to nothing - our DIY ornament string garland.
The final push: Family room makeover (ORC Week 5)
It's week 5 of our 6 week family room makeover for the One Room Challenge and I'm officially freaking out! Reveal day is exactly 7 days away and there are still SO many things we have to cross off our to-do list to bring our vision for the family room to life.
Let there be light: Family room update (ORC Weeks 3 & 4)
It's week 4 and we're into the home stretch of our One Room Challenge. Week 3 turned out to be a bit of a bust for us so we'll be covering both weeks in today's recap. Our focus this week has been the family room lighting.
DIY Media Wall: ORC Progress (Week 2)
Well we made it to Week 2 of our One Room Challenge. If you missed week one, we shared our plans for the family room. This week we'll be focusing on our DIY media wall.
To DIY or not to DIY…
That is the question.... Ok so Kes and I need you to settle an argument. Well..I guess it's not so much an argument as it is a DIY dilemma.
Behind the reveal: Creating a hex tile pattern floor
First of all I just wanted to say thank you so much for the overwhelmingly positive comments on last week's One Room Challenge reveal post as well as all the love on facebook, & instagram, etc. We really do appreciate it! We received so much feedback on our hex tile floors, we thought we'd share some details and a few tips to help any of you looking to do something similar.
ORC Week 5: Master Bath Retreat – the final push
We're very late with our update this week. It's week 5 of our One Room Challenge which means there's only ONE WEEK LEFT!! It's serious crunch time and after the setbacks last week we're having to make some adjustments to the plan.
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....
