Jeffrey Court Renovation Challenge ~ Final Reveal

posted on : November 6, 2019 posted by : Jessie 4 Comments

Well, that’s a wrap on The Jeffrey Court Renovation Challenge! I can’t even believe how quickly 6 weeks flew by. I’m not going to lie, completely renovating a Master Bathroom in 6 weeks is not for the faint of heart. This was by FAR the hardest project I have done thus far. Literally every single inch of my body hurts and I am starting to resemble a homeless person right about now. Not to mention, I am failing in all other parts of my life, wife, mother, friend, etc. I have been working non-stop on this project, down till the very last hour in the competition…all the sweat, blood (there really was blood), and oh my goodness the tears and so so much coffee were all completely worth it in the end though.

Jeffrey Court Renovation Challenge ~ Week 1

posted on : October 2, 2019 2 Comments

Hey guys! So a new adventure begins this week and it’s going to be my biggest project to date! I was recently invited to participate in the 2019 Fall Jeffrey Court Renovation Challenge. The challenge is to renovate a space over the next six weeks. That’s right I said six weeks! Each week will be judged by a panel of Jeffrey Court judges. You will even get the chance to be involved and get to help vote for your favorite designer 😉 The winner of the contest will win a $5,000 dream vacation. This will sound super cheesy, but I feel like I already won…I get to transform a space using amazing tile by Jeffrey Court. I am all in!!!

On the Move Again – Home Search Tips

posted on : May 23, 2019 2 Comments

While Jessie has been busy slaving away on her beautiful One Room Challenge (ORC) Workspace (check out it out here), things over here have been getting very interesting. It looks like the Army has finally given us the official word that our family is on the move yet again this summer to the great state of Texas. This is, according to my husband, the last move. We will see how that goes…tune back in about 2 years from now to see if this is true!!

Anyways, with a big move comes lots and lots of logistical stuff that must be taken care of. First up on our long list, a big one, is a home search. Yes, we are going to be homeowners again. So exciting and a little bit daunting…but it will be nice to have our own space again after renting for the last 2 years and the 3 before that in a tiny German apartment.

DIY Hanging Hoop Planters

So, I just finished up with the ORC and my Big Reveal, which you can see here if you missed it! There were so many DIY’s in the room that I didn’t get a chance to talk about (I needed to save a few surprises for the final look.) One of my favorite things that I created right at the end, that I absolutely loved was my DIY Hanging Hoop Planter. I made two, both in different sizes. One with a real plant inside, we’ll see how that works out for me and one with a faux succulent…which are always a favorite. Believe it or not I can actually even kill a succulent…I know…I am very talented at so many things! 😉 Both planters took less than 1 hour. Maybe even shorter, but I’ll say an hour including all the time it took me to prepare all of my supplies. So if you would love your own planter here is how. Super easy.

One Room Challenge – Final Reveal – DIYers Dream Workspace

posted on : May 9, 2019 6 Comments

Super, SUPER excited that today is the day I finally get to share with you the BIG reveal for my Modern DIYers Workspace. I am not going to lie the last 6 weeks has not been easy and I literally worked up until the last day finishing up this space. 6 week sounds so long but when reality hits and the projects start the time just flies right by. So…here it is…A fresh look on a DIYers Workspace. I couldn’t be happier with how it turned out. It’s functional, chic, modern, and colorful…all the good stuff packed into one space and guess what…It’s all mine. I have the most beautiful space to work in, a place where creativity can absolutely thrive.

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.
