If you are here for the first time Welcome! My name is Jeanie. I am a recent empty-nester who also recently retired early so I’ve got lots of time on my hands to do what I love most: do it yourself projects (diys), crafts, room makeovers and home decorating projects. I just love to make things – pretty things!

This is my third go-round with the One Room Challenge®. I learned so much from my first two attempts and I hope that this third time will be the best one yet!

 

The One Room Challenge® (ORC®) is a bi-annual event, put on by Linda from Calling It Home. Over the course of six weeks, 20 design bloggers make over a room and share weekly updates on the progress of their rooms on Wednesdays. On Thursdays, the rest of us Guest Participants, link up our weekly updates. We cheer each other on through the chaos of making over a room in six short weeks!

Last fall I made over my laundry closet. I know that sounds rather boring, but trust me. That laundry room is anything but boring. Seriously! Go check it out! It’s the most glam laundry closet that you ever did see! It was so much fun because it’s a small space that’s hidden behind bi-fold doors so I went a little crazy behind those doors and gave my laundry closet a glam makeover. I love it!

One Room Challenge Week One Master Bedroom Makeover
Okay, now let’s get to the room that I’m going to makeover: The orange master bedroom. If you’re a regular around here, you’ve seen this room before. To be fair, it’s probably not really orange. Maybe more of a bright coral? Doesn’t matter. I’ve put up with it for long enough. And just so you know: I did NOT choose that color. I inherited it from the previous owners. What were they thinking??? I’m going to give them the benefit of the doubt and say that’s probably not the color that they had in mind. But once it was up – they went with it.

But I am done with it. Finally! I’ve been living with an orange master bedroom ever since I bought this house back in 2008. I knew back then that this room would be on the list for a makeover and I’m happy to say that it’s time!

THE PLAN (in no particular order):

  1. Get rid of the orange!
  2. Farmhouse style bed with headboard and footboard
  3. Build two side tables to coordinate with bed
  4. Find two farmhouse style table lamps and a coordinating floor lamp
  5. Paint the upholstered rocking chair
  6. New bedding
  7. Build a framed mirror
  8. Install a faux ship-lap wall behind bed
  9. Make pretty wall art
  10. New curtains
  11. Make “L” shaped window seats and create a reading nook in the “bump out”
  12. Get rid of a chest of drawers

THE BUDGET:

I am hoping to stay under $1,000. Wish me luck!

SPONSORS:

I am proud to be partnering with the following brands:

Lamps Plus / RYOBI Nation / Silk Plants Direct / Valspar / Amy Howard At Home

    Oh my gosh… that orange? Since 2008?! You’re a saint. I would have gone insane by now. Of course, I hate orange so maybe I’m not the best judge but either way I can’t wait to see what you do with the space!

    Perhaps your bedroom isn’t orange as much as it is a sunny morning in Florida? 😉 You’re gonna be one busy gal but how awesome that you’re building your own furniture!

    Renovation of an apartment from scratch or major renovation are not fundamentally different, because the stages of renovation are almost the same, with the exception of preparatory work. If you do not know how to properly plan the work schedule, budget and other details, I advise you to enlist the support of professionals. Just recently I discovered an excellent service apartment renovation in Nice https://abatiment.com/apartment-renovation-in-nice
