ORC FINAL REVEAL! Budget Deck Makeover

ORC FINAL REVEAL! Budget Deck Makeover

Yay, after eight weeks of hard work, The time has come for our ONE ROOM CHALLENGE budget deck makeover final reveal!!

 

The ORC will provide participants with a supportive, enthusiastic forum to share the process of transforming a room. The ORC is not a competition, but rather a celebration of creativity, inspiration, and original ideas. Welcome!


The One Room Challenge™, currently in its seventeenth season, is a widely anticipated biannual event every April and October. It has been postponed to May this year because of Covid-19.

Each round, twenty design influencers are selected to take the challenge, as Featured Designers, and transform a space. Every Wednesday, the designers document their process while sharing their sources and professional advice over six weekly posts.

In addition to following along, everyone with a blog or Instagram account, is welcome to join the fun as a Guest Participant by linking their own room transformations up during the eight weeks. Each Thursday, the internet and social media are flooded with interior design inspiration, ideas, and encouragement.

To date, more than 3,800 rooms have been transformed through the One Room Challenge™. The event, and many of the spaces, have been recognized and featured.

For the past eight weeks, these gifted designers have taken you behind the scenes as they transformed their rooms into beautiful spaces. I hope you will stop by their sites to see what they shared, the reality of what it takes to create an amazing space, it has been exciting to see the hurdles they overcame along with the victories they achieved!

Progress

I’m so excited to share with you our before and after photos. They are quite stunning. We love how everything turned out! So here’s a quick rundown of everything that we have accomplished on our deck makeover to date.

  • We restained our deck foot-boards.
  • Then we built a privacy wall from the neighbors.
  • Next, we DIYed cable railing around the deck and stairs.
  • Then we built a black iron-look string-light hanging system.
  • Finally, we restained the exterior part of our deck

If you check back through that last eight posts, you can find links to the products we used and tutorials on each project above.
We have had so much fun participating in the 2020 Spring ORC! It was a great experience and an excellent motivator to help us get going on this project!

So,
Here’s the FINAL REVEAL!!!

Ruby (our Australian Cattledog ) loves our new deck! She has great view of the cows in our backyard, and she makes sure they know who’s boss.

We are so happy and grateful for our new outdoor living space! It feels like an extension of our home now. The privacy wall turned out amazing and works very well! I hope you’ve enjoyed seeing our before and after pictures. Maybe they will inspire you to try a few of our ideas to create a more inviting space in your backyard as well.
