The One Room Challenge | Week 1 |

It is that time of year again- The One Room Challenge kicked off this week! If you are new to the ORC, it is a design challenge that happens every Fall and Spring. Designers select a space in their own home that they will transform in a six week period. Each Wednesday and Thursday we post our updates through blogs and Instagram. Be sure to check out the ORC website- per usual, there is some amazing talent and even more incredible transformations.

Last year I chose to tackle my home office and I am so happy with how it turned out. Although, I still haven’t found the right desk chair. Maybe I can do that during this six week period! HA.

This year I am going to design the least used room in our house- the LAUNDRY ROOM and a little bit of our back entry hall as well. Even though isn’t a space I love to hangout in, I would like to make it what I want. When we moved in August of 2019- it was blue and had a wall of white metal shelving. That all came down and we had it painted Sea Salt by Sherwin Williams. We also bought the black finish washer and dryer. So…it had a bit of a head start, but there is still more work to do. Here are the before photos I took earlier this week:

Here is the To-Do list:

Paint the cabinetry Tricorn Black from Sherwin Williams
Replace the Faucet
Add hardware to cabinets
Add two black floating shelves above the W/D
Replace rugs
Add artwork
Replace ceiling light
Maybe add backsplash behind sink
Organize bins in cabinets and on shelving

It may not sound like much, but I have never painted cabinetry before- so this will be interesting. I am also not touching the floor. I would like to replace it, but it is fine for the time being.

Here is my concept board for the space:
