2018 One Room Challenge: Week 1!

October 3 by Candis Meredith Leave a Comment

We are so THRILLED to be participating in this Fall’s One Room Challenge. It is legitimately our favorite time of the year when we get to see so many incredible rooms transform over the course of 6 weeks and this round’s participants are SO GOOD. Most of you already know why you’re here, but over the course of 6 weeks, we will be transforming a room in our house (Love House) for all of you to see! Our dear friend, Linda of Calling it Home, works so hard to bring this event to life and we are very, very grateful to be included! (Love you, girl.)

OMG, here we go. I won’t keep you waiting….the room that we are taking on is our little girl Kit’s room! She is our youngest of 7 kids (all the rest are boooooys, yes she’s spoiled) and I have been waiting to do a girls room for a. long. time.

This room in Love House was literally THE WORST when we bought the house. It had the most “stuff” in it, and I won’t be descriptive here but just so you know, it was the grossest of stuff. I’m going to find those pictures for you all soon, but let’s show you the room renovated first. We photographed it for our book and basically just moved all the s*** behind the camera :)

We had to do so much to get to this point that this is where it has stayed! Nothing to it besides pink floors, which we love, and white walls!

We have BIG PLANS for this space….I did finally get a girl, so don’t judge me for going overboard, haha!!

Aaaaaand because I believe we are all friends here, I’m going to show you actual, real life photos of what it looks like in this moment so that we can all have a good laugh later and say that we weren’t toooo scared for me, haha!

So. Many. Toys. She doesn’t even like them, guys! She wants to pet dogs all day and jump on the tramp, yet we have all this STUFF. I’m so happy to have this challenge so that we legitimately purge in here :)

We do have some really cool pieces that are staying…like this victorian mini dresser (that’s covered in stuff…) I can’t tell you how motivating this all is to put this out there, haha!

We are also going to take on our hallway and bathroom that are connected to her room, kind of unofficially. I’m putting that out there so that maybe we will actually do it, haha!

So embarrassed, but that’s what it takes when you do houses for everyone else except yourself!

Ok, now that you’ve seen aaaaalllll of that, let’s go see everyone else’s spaces! I really hope you’ll follow along!

One of the funniest comments we’ve ever received is that Kit’s room is “setting unrealistic expectations for any future houses she lives in” 😂😂😂 ... See MoreSee Less

I just finished a REAL LIFE house tour on stories! 🙈🙈🙈 This year for Mother’s Day I decided to do something for MYSELF...I’m taking control of my surroundings and organizing my home, taking better care of my body and paying attention to my mental health. For me it all starts with the home. If I feel good in a space, I can do anything! Maybe that’s why I love doing houses so much?! 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ Enjoy! I can’t wait to share my “journey” (cringe) of getting everything a little more under control! 🙌🙌 ... See MoreSee Less

  • DIY Tip: Replicating Historic Molding

    Having historic molding recreated can be expensive...although there is certainly a time and place to spend that kind of money, you can usually make a very similar look from off-the-shelf molding!

    Make sure to use the right kind of sander when refinishing your floors! It takes a little bit of practice, but a large belt sander works much better than a random orbital!
