The final reveal of the One Room Challenge - Spring 2021! I transformed my son Aaron’s nursery into a big kid room as he prepares to start Kindergarten in the fall. I knew there would be a lot of emotions to work through as I tore down the room Joe and I lovingly curated for our very first baby… but Aaron’s pride in his new “big boy room” has made it worth every tear. We brightened up the walls, added DIY board and batten in a deep green, and more.

I’ve been working on adding finishing touches to Aaron’s room for the One Room Challenge - art, styling the dressers, etc. Sharing my favorite way to display my kid’s artwork and I’ll be creating some art over the next few days, as well as finally priming and repainting the back of Aaron’s door.

It’s week 6 of the One Room Challenge and I’m focusing on lighting. I truly believe one of the most overlooked and under valued aspect of interior decorating is lighting. It’s easy to buy a small, cheap lamp from Target and call it a day, but choosing light fixtures that “have an opinion” will give you a much higher end look… and it doesn’t have to be expensive. Here’s how I DIY’d a $5 thrifted lamp using baking soda and paint.

It’s week 5 of the One Room Challenge, and we’re finishing the loft bed! I used a paint sprayer for the first time, touched up blemishes for a week, and got it all assembled. We painted the bed to match the board and batten - Ripe Olive by Sherwin Williams.

We’re half way through the One Room Challenge and these 4 weeks have flown by! This was the week where I had my “what have I done?” moment. Inevitably, when one room is being painted the rest of the house somehow stops functioning as well as it usually does. There are pieces of the new bed in our laundry room, paint cans and tools on our kitchen counters, and twice as many toys as usual in Chloe’s room - all without a home. I knew it was time to finish the board and batten project this week because I need to be able to start putting Aaron’s room back together for my own sanity!

It’s week 3 of the One Room Challenge and I’ve compiled a list of tips and tricks I’ve learned this time around about painting white walls!

Here’s the mood board I created for the One Room Challenge, along with rooms I was inspired by and a few things I learned my first time using a paint sprayer. Follow along for weekly updates on this little boy’s room!

Here’s how I gave my entry way instant personality with a can of chalk paint in the color Night Owl by Sherwin Williams.

I’m so excited to be a guest participant in the One Room Challenge for the first time! I will be making over my son Aaron’s room over the course of the next 8 weeks, which has been something on my “to do” list for months. This week, we’re setting the scene and going over the pain points I’m hoping to fix in his room.

How I transformed a thrifted caned chair and gave it a more coastal vibe using chalk paint in the color Night Owl by Sherwin Williams. I also lightened the caning using Rustoleum 2x Spray Paint in the color Khaki.

I duped a Pottery Barn lamp by mixing paint and baking soda in order to create the look of pottery to transform a $5 lamp from the thrift store.

Here’s how I turned a regular photograph into a giant framed watercolor without knowing how to paint! Great gift idea for grandparents, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, or Valentine’s Day.

If you’re starting to feel that seasonal change where you live, I invite you to join me in making a few simple swaps and additions to help freshen your home in preparation for spring.

It’s feeling like spring here in Florida and while I’m currently cursing the blooms because of my allergies, I can’t help but feel inspired by the season. Our front door hasn’t changed much over the years but I’ve been craving a change, so I did a quick spring refresh.

I remember walking into someone’s house and thinking “wow, this room is gorgeous!” but I couldn’t put my finger on why. As I’ve grown, I have changed by stance on a lot of things when it comes to design and begun to understand why certain rooms just look “right”. These are all the things I would have told me younger self if I’d had the chance:
