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 […] Read more…
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.

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 […] Read more…
*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.

Guys, it’s week 5 of the One Room Challenge, and I’m stuck in bed sick. As in chills, fever, and the incapability to do common things like stay upright on my legs for more than 5 minutes at a time, or eat. Blegh. I guess there isn’t going to be much progress to share this […] Read more…
Sigh. You know those spaces in your brand new house you know will need a makeover, and then YOU move in and it’s somehow uglier and messier than it was before? HOW? Yeeaaaaah, that. I’ve started working on my Master bedroom for the 6-week One Room Challenge, and I have to admit so far week one of this […] Read more…
Well this is just awful… guys, we are on week 3 of the One Room Challenge, and beyond painting, I have nothing to report. Like, I could just stop typing right now and you could just stop reading right now. The room is THE SAME AS LAST WEEK. But in my defense, it isn’t as […] Read more…
Guys, today is suppose to be our report for week two of the One Room Challenge. Yo. I’ve been just a little bit like a chicken with my head cut off. I can’t even begin to tell you how nuts this week has been, and how many things went comically wrong. I should maybe star […] Read more…

Oh man. What was I thinking?? So, you know how it is when a friend you’ve been dying to spend more time with accepts your dinner invitation…then a week before this simple dinner you look around your dining room, have an epiphany on decorating and decide to give it a “quick sprucing”, which ends with all the furniture moved into […] Read more…
C’mon Carmona, you can do it… just choose a color. It’s just paint…choose. I needed to make a decision so I can get to the many many projects necessary to makeover my office and sitting room. As I’m prepping this room for paint, all I can think is how many broken things there are in […] Read more…
My daughter has a “fairy godmother” who we’ll call ‘L’ (that’s “Aunty L” to the girls). Well, she’s actually just godmother, but I’m pretty sure she made the special title of “fairy” after granting a pretty princess pink bedroom wish! One day ‘L’ calls me excitedly and requests to make over her god-daughters bedroom (technically we […] Read more…
