One Room Challenge: Week 3 Amazing Find & Progress Update | Joy in Our Home

Welcome back friends!! We are onto week 3 of the One Room Challenge!

Just for a quick recap, week one was all about the “Plan” for our master bedroom makeover and week 2 I showed you the “Progress”. I am still working on the sanding…. Spring has arrived to our neck of the woods which, at our home, calls for more time at the park, more bike rides and more running. I sand here and there, basically whenever I get 10 minutes of free time.

I am especially excited for this post because I found the deal of the year!!! I am sooo,  so excited for the chandelier my husband found at Home Depot. It is exactly what I had envisioned for our room and the best part? The price tag!!! It was regular priced in the $90′s (can’t remember exact price) and then it was marked down to 50% and then when my husband saw them, it was$20! Yes, $20… your eyes are not playing tricks on you! We may or may not have bought more than one Here’s a picture of my new favorite chandelier!!

… and another shot just because I love it so much….

In my plan during week 1 I mentioned I would love a bench for the foot of our bed. I looked at furniture stores and online and the ones I like were in the $500-$600 range. That is way out of our price range so I got dreaming of me my husband building one perhaps. One day I was walking out of the grocery store and there’s a bulletin board where people have ads where they are selling random things. There was a coffee table that caught my eye and it was only $15! I totally saw the potential behind it and we are going to transform it into our bench for the foot of the bed!!! I ordered the fabric from Tonic Living and now we’re just waiting for it to arrive.

So that’s my deals for this week… I’m pretty exited about them! Michael’s also had an awesome 50% sale with an additional 20% coupon so I scored a few more décor items.

Thanks so much everyone for stopping by… we are halfway through this challenge as off today! Spring break officially starts for us today and we don’t have too, too big of plans so I’m hoping to get lots accomplished by next Thursday. Hope you have a wonderful Easter and cherish the time you get to spend with your loved ones!

Until next time,

One Room Challenge: Week One, My Room INTRO & PLAN | Joy in Our Home

Hello Everyone!
I am excited to tell you about a challenge I’m going to participate in!!! Linda over at Calling it Home has challenged 20 home-design bloggers to make over a space and show their progress over 6 weeks. This is so exciting for me, because Linda has invited anyone else to come share a room or space we’d like to make over as well.

One Room Challenge


I knew right away which room in our home I was going to tackle. Without a doubt, it’s our master bedroom. We have done many upgrades in our home, but our bedroom has always been put on the back burner. It’s the one room where the door always gets shut when company is coming. Stuff gets dumped there and sad to say, it is in dire need of some TLC! So, without further ado, I am going to show you some before pictures!

This wall has the walk-in closet and onsuite bathroom doors on it. Also the beautiful location of our ironing board, the place where anything and everything gets stored. My goal for this space is a beautiful gallery wall and to finally put that board and iron in its rightful place— in the laundry room. Surprise, surprise!

There are actually 2 windows like this on this wall, both with these gorgeous ugly curtains on them. They are gold and make the room look so blah and dreary. I’m hoping for something white and sheer to give the a brighter look but still give I a soft and warm feel.

The reason I’m entering this challenge is to give me a push to hopefully finish or even get close to finishing this room by May 8. We’re going to be trying to keep the cost to a minimal and hoping to score a few deals on some pieces for the wall gallery and hopefully a bench for the foot of the bed. I have been putting off redoing our dresser and end tables for over a year now but this challenge just might have me busy sanding and painting by next week! Yeaa!!!!!!

Here is our 6 week plan for our bedroom:

* Re-do dresser and end tables in white

* Bigger lamps and a chandelier

* Gallery wall

*  New bedding

* End of bed bench

* Curtains

* and maybe, just maybe…. a board and batten head board!

Here’s our inspiration board… I love all the beautiful whites in these rooms!

Please come join me each Thursday as I share my progress with you. Thanks for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend!

Until next time,

Kendra
