ONE ROOM CHALLENGE™, SPRING 2020, WEEK 8

Well, we finally made it to WEEK 8, our final week of the ORC!
It’s been a lot of work but also a lot of fun.

Thanks for stopping by, please take your time and have a look around.

You could start by checking out our $100 Master Bathroom Makeover here, and then head over to our recipe page to grab a few new ideas.

In case you don’t know what the One Room Challenge is, I’ll give you a quick rundown.

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 us behind the scenes as they transformed their rooms into beautiful spaces. I hope you will stop by their sites each week as they share the reality of what it takes to create an amazing space, it will be exciting to see the hurdles they overcome along with the victories they achieve!

Progress

This week I stained the outside of our deck. It was quite a time-consuming job since it hadn’t been done in over five years.
I started early in the morning and had to quit off and on for random rain showers passing through. Thank goodness they didn’t last long or ruin my stain job!!
It took me a whole day from 8-5 pm but it was so worth it. Our deck finally looks as good from the outside as it does on the inside.
We used this stain from Menards, which is more like a paint.

It went on super easy and it has a lifetime warranty. I hope it lasts a good long while because I won’t be in the mood to stain it again for a very long time!
