Oh my goodness, one week until the big reveal. You know what that means? It’s officially One Room Challenge hell week. Haha! That’s the week at least 80% of ORC participants are working their butts off with just a hint of panic as to whether or not they can finish on time. This week I’m […]

ORC Wk 3: Architectural Detail
At this point in the One Room Challenge, I feel like I’m speeding along quite nicely! Granted, the hard projects are still ahead that will slow me down considerably in the coming weeks. So I’m going to enjoy it while I can! This week I am adding some gorgeous architectural details by adding decorative moulding […]
ORC Wk 2: Ceiling & Wall Love
It’s week 2 of the One Room Challenge, and I’m pretty sure I’ll be picking popcorn ceiling out of my hair for days. On the bright side, I’ll finally be able to show my ceiling and wall a little love when it is completely smooth and pretty! If you missed it, definitely pop over to […]
ORC Wk 1: Closet, Vanity Nook, & Bathroom Plans
I can’t believe it is One Room Challenge time again! Plus, I’m pinching myself that I’ve been given the honor of being a featured designer once again (thank so much Linda)!! Last year’s Spring ORC I made over my family room and office nook as a featured designer. This year, I have big master bathroom […]
NYNR Challenge: The Ugliest Carpet That Ever There Was
Every time I look at this carpet I start singing “loaaaathing, unadulterated loathing”, from the broadway show ‘Wicked’. I can’t help it. THAT one line is exactly how I feel about this carpet…the ugliest carpet that ever there was. It is week 4 of the New Year, New Room Refresh challenge. And just to remind you […]
NYNR: Custom Bookcase & Accessories
This is the 3rd week of the New Year New Room Refresh Challenge, and I might be in trouble this week ya’all. The carpet installers are coming on Wednesday, and I have only today to finish installing the baseboards and building the custom bookcase before they arrive. Yes, those things have to be installed before […]
NYNR Challenge: Feature Wall & Accessories
Welcome to week 2 of the New Year New Room refresh challenge! In case you missed last week’s adventure, I joined in with an amazing group of bloggers who are all refreshing a room in 4 weeks. Our fearless leader: Stephanie of Casa Watkins Living. Our goal: turn a less than stellar room into a […]
New Year, New Room Refresh: Teen Bedroom
Happy New Year! There is nothing quite like ringing in the new year by remodeling an entire room in 4 weeks. Haha. I don’t know. Seems like a totally fun, totally crazy thing to do. So when my good friend (and former contributor here on the blog!) Stephanie of Casa Watkins Living, invited me to […]
Half Bath Makeover – The Final Touches
Hahaha, that title is so misleading. The “final touches” of the half bath include removing the toilet in order to lay new flooring, adding molding, painting, and THEN the decorative touches. It is week 5 of the One Room Challenge, and next week is suppose to be the big reveal of the half bath / powder […]
Bath Remodel: The Light Fixtures Are UP!
If you have been following my Instagram stories, I know what must be thinking right now. “Ursula, that’s it? That’s all you’ve gotten accomplished in this many weeks?” Yep. It is week 4 out of 6 weeks to complete my powder room for the One Room Challenge, and I haven’t done much of anything. Guys, I […]
Powder Room Moodboard
It is week 3 of the One Room Challenge, and I’ve finally started work on my powder room. Sure, wait until the ORC is halfway over before even getting started…yeah, that seems totally sane. In case you missed it, I shared the full before and backstory in week 1, and my inspiration for the powder […]
The Powder Room Makeover That Never Was
Oh people. I did a thing. I bobbed when I was suppose to weave, and got hit with the excitement of joining in the One Room Challenge. So while I was suppose to sit this one out (it’s going to be a VERY busy October), one morning in a rare uptake of impressive efficiency, I thought, I […]
Stylish Furniture & Final Touches – ORC Week 5
I’m so excited for next week’s big reveal of my stylish One Room Challenge space!! Granted, I’m not even close to done yet, so it might be a bit of a nail biter this week. It is the fifth week of a 6 week design challenge, and if you missed it definitely check out the previous weeks (especially […]
