2017 One Room Challenge: Week 1

October 5, 2017 Allie Ellenbogen
One-room-challenge-2017-Week-12.jpg

Hi there! Happy Thursday, friends. I’m so excited about today’s post because I’ve decided to participate in the One Room Challenge (!!!) as a guest blogger. If you’re not familiar with the One Room Challenge it’s a 6-week event where 20 or so bloggers choose a room and completely renovate it. Changes run the gamut from just decor updates to gut renovations. Every week they post updates of their progress and at the end of the 6-weeks there are all these beautiful, inspiring rooms to marvel at. And the best part is that anyone with a blog can participate as a guest – so that’s what I’m doing! Guest participants share weekly updates every Thursday, so this is the first in a series of 6 installments!

One Room Challenge: The Room

The room I’ve chosen for this One Room Challenge is a client living room redecoration project. It’s a central part of the client’s home where they spend most of their time. They like to relax at the end of long week there as well as host their adult kids from time-to-time. They wanted a space that would promote conversation but also allow them to kick back and watch a little TV after work. Their style is a modern and casual traditional with some eclectic elements thrown in. We’ll be completely making over the space, but not making any structural changes. The wall behind the sofa separates the living room from the kitchen and they’d like to take that down, but we’re still figuring out if it’s structural or not. So, for now we’re sticking to decoration updates.

I’m so excited about the changes we have in store to make this room the perfect gathering place and a relaxing spot to unwind. Next week I’ll share the mood board with preliminary material choices, color palettes and overall feel for the room.

Cheers!

Happy weekend, friends! This is our first free weekend since getting back from Tokyo and I’m so looking forward to dinner with friends, catching up on some sleep, doing a little reading, and tackling a couple things around the house. Today I wanted to share an update of our guest room. This was one of the first spaces we got in working order because we wanted a place our friends and family could comfortably stay.

Hi there, happy Saturday! We got back from Tokyo late Thursday night and even though I scheduled this post before we left, I can be sure we’re all kinds of jet-lagged. The time difference was 13 hours which means we’re basically going to be flip-flopped for a while. You know how they say that the number of days it will take to get over your jet lag is how many hours different it was. Eek. I think I can see some insomnia in my future!

Front Yard Landscaping Idea

Happy Saturday! This weekend is a pretty chill one around here, which I’m really looking forward to. We’re planning on doing a TRX class together this morning, some small things around the house, and hopefully a hike. Today I’m sharing all about re-planting our front bed. When we moved in the bed was pretty sad. Actually, upon first glance you couldn’t tell quite how bad it was. (click to see the before and afters!)
