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 […]
Pillows, Plants, & Dashed Plans: ORC Week 4
It is week 4 of the 6-week One Room Challenge, and things have NOT gone as expected. I have done a kitchen for the One Room Challenge, and that went more smoothly than my little ole Family Room makeover. How? How is THAT possible? Anyway, more on that drama a little later. First I want […]
Accent Tables, Paint, & Hardware: ORC Week 3
Wondering how things are going on week 3 of the 6-week One Room Challenge? Well, my hand may permanently be frozen in a paint-brush shaped grasp, but I’m just happy to be *almost* finished with painting. Plus I got some really pretty things delivered to my front door this week!! Between stunning hardware for my door, […]
Family Room Paint + Lighting: ORC Week 2
*This post is sponsored by Hudson Valley Lighting Group. Whoop Whoop! It is week 2 of the One Room Challenge, and while I’d love to say things are in full swing…welllll. Yup. It still looks more or less like this. *Cue the crickets* Except there is still junk that hasn’t been cleared out, and there are […]
How To Remodel A Shower / Bath For Less
Unbelievably, I have 3 bathtub + shower remodels going on at the same time. Remodeling the shower is the biggest expense of any bathroom renovation, so I’ve done my research to help save every possible penny with the desired outcome. Today, I’m going to share with you what I learned during my shower remodel, and how you […]
