Jeffrey Court All-Star Challenge Reveal


Did you blink? That’s how fast the Jeffrey Court All-Star Challenge went by. Just like before renovating a bathroom is definitely hard stuff but, in the end completely worth it! Did you know that this is the last bathroom in my home that needed to be renovated! That’s all 3 bathrooms gutted and rebuilt back up by ME! Big thank you to my friends at Jeffrey Court for making that feat even possible! Not to mention having some of the most beautiful tile in them! Also, huge thank you to Pfister Faucets for helping sponsoring this amazing project. All of their fixtures really brought the whole space to life.

Week 5 ~ Let’s Get Tiling

Okay…so I’m having flashbacks of my last Jeffrey Court Challenge! Just like last time week 5 just flew by! I have so much to complete in such a short time. This seems to be the time when I seem to really thrive though and I finally can see my vision come to life. Renovating any space by yourself in just 6 weeks from the studs up is not for the faint of heart. So, I’m going to make this week short and sweet, and then back to work for me.

One Room Challenge – Week 5 – DIY PegBoard

Alright, we are just finishing up with week 5 and I seriously cannot believe how incredibly fast these weeks have flown by. That means there is only ONE more week until the BIG reveal. Oh my!!! I am working as fast as humanly possible and that deadline seems awfully tight…Wish me luck guys, I’m gonna need it! May 9th is sneaking on us so quickly!

 

As always, it is so inspiring to see all the other guest participants designs and of course the featured designers, as well. Be sure to have a look on the One Room Challenge (ORC) Blog site to see all the amazing projects going on.


Fireplace Update!

Just thought I would pop in this week and share my final look of my fireplace makeover! Do you remember last week when I shared my half finished Shiplap photo? I thought I could bang-out a super quick project in-between getting all the kids off to school. The girls leave around 8:30 and my little guy leaves around 11, so that gives me 2.5 hours. Obviously I must have fallen out of bed that morning and hit my head because I’m not sure what I was thinking.

Does this ever happen to anyone else? Or am I completely alone? I often get an idea in my head of something I should do, even though there are 500 other more important things I should be doing and I just can’t help myself.

Modern Twist on Valentine’s Day 

❤️ Modern Twist on Valentine’s Day ❤️

This year for Valentine’s Day, I wanted to add a Modern twist to my decor. I thought it would be fun to try something a little different from the traditional red, pink and hearts but also, still stay true to the holiday’s fun, flirty style. I did a background of black and white, with pops of color using mostly pink and green. Then added lots of unique, easy and creative DIY’s that everyone can do. Also, remember it’s all about the details! If you look careful at all the pictures the final touches really finish off each space! 😉

Stairway Transformation

So, this year my New Year’s resolution is to finish any project I start. I struggle with this constantly, because I always have my next project in mind and just can’t wait to get to move on to the next one. My stairway would be a victim of this crime. I worked so hard on this stairway for so long and if you see it in the all my photos you would never know that it’s really not finished. Now that is a skill, if I say so myself! So, it’s the New Year and that means it’s time to get to work finishing all my unfinished projects.

The last step left for the stairway was the banister and beams. If you look at the bottom picture, I primed them along time ago, before I even started sanding the steps. It was originally a yellow color…Yikes!! Let’s get this bad boy all finished!!!

Make sure to scroll all the way to the bottom to see my easy go-to Tutorial on how to stain the banister and of course to see the Completely Finished Product!! 😉
