One Room Challenge: Enclosing the Stairs, a Built-in Planter/Bench Combo and a Little Black Paint

I swore up and down this project was going to be low stress despite the timeline, scale, and the fact that we are building so much from scratch. But at this point, I have to admit that we’ve put so much into it that I am fully invested and want to see it to completion. Even if it means we need to push just a little harder over the next few days.

One Room Challenge: Time to Pick Up the Pace

It’s week three of the One Room Challenge, and here’s what we have done so far. We’ve ordered everything that we need to finish the project and can’t just pick up at the hardware store or lumber yard; we’ve measured, floor planned, taped out, and revised our design ad nauseam, and I’m (reasonably) confident we’ve locked in our final design.

One Room Challenge: The Patio Design Plan

Last week I showed you the “before” of our patio in its current state. This week I’m sharing my design plan because a. winging things just isn’t going to cut it, and b. it is oh so motivating to “see” your dream space come together before your eyes even if it’s just on paper for the time being.

One Room Challenge: The Patio Before

While the last challenge was all about creating a space where we could retreat from the world and lean into working, schooling, just generally existing from home with two small children, this one is about expanding our world a little.
