One Room Challenge- Week 2 Two Room Containment

Wow, so umm where do I start?? Heh.

We will start with the good!!

Thanks to having some extra time to wait, I made a few more decisions about the room this week. The first most important was to layer my paint!! Initially I just planned to go with Chèvre by Color Atelier, but I did have some concerns that the paint would be too light to see the mottling, so I have decided to first paint Cavalier and then do a layer of Chevre overtop! I am hoping it turns out as I’m envisioning!

Some other things I accomplished this week was sourcing- if you know me, you know I love a good thrift find. I scoured the internet, Mercari, and Facebook Marketplace to find: pillow shams, a chair, rattan, drop cloth, and some sconces. I am excited to share more in the coming weeks on the DIYs I have planned with these.

So, now the bad?! If you want to call it that? In a way it was so good- as we are super fortunate to have found the issue so soon…. but over the weekend we started emptying the room of all of our things and I noticed a spot on the carpet in our closet. It was black and wet. *cringe* I pulled up the carpet and quickly realized that our shower fixture, installed in December 2020 by a professional plumber was leaking. The floor boards beneath the carpet were wet and inside the wall was wet. We’re well on our way to remediation now, but lets just say I’m a bit behind and our house now looks like a disaster area. Ha! All I can do is laugh at this point.

For now, I will leave you with my design plans. Here are my sketches I drew up last month. I can’t wait to see it all come to life! You may be able to tell here- but lots will be similar. Mainly room layout. The room is tight, so we don’t have a lot of options, but I’m hoping to make the most of it! :)

As always, head on over to the One Room Challenge Blog to see more Featured & Guest Room Designs!! This is such a fun event and I love the comradery in the community already!!
