One Room Challenge Week 3: Minor Crises and Progress Updates
Welcome to ORC Week 3! Otherwise known as the fake half-way point. Because, let’s face it, you don’t really have until November 10th to finish your room – the zhushing, styling and photography (and then waiting for said images to come back from the photographer), and the reveal blog post all need to be locked and loaded by…

Welcome to ORC Week 2! ICYMI – you can check out my Week 1 post here. I’m transforming an unused 2nd floor landing into a cozy nook for the whole family to read, play games, and wind down before bedtime. Well, let’s see – what’s up with the landing? The walls came tumbling down, thanks…

After sitting out last spring, I am thrilled to be participating in my third One Room Challenge, the bi-annual blogger extravaganza put on by Linda at Calling it Home (whom I had the pleasure of meeting this past summer, what a treat!). If you are new to the ORC – here’s how it works…20 preeminent…
Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 6: Manbrary Reveal
I’m so pleased and proud to announce that the Manbrary is now officially open for business. It was a close one, but thanks to more than a few exceptional vendors and partners, I finished on time to reveal it to you today! We made a HUGE leap forward from last week. My husband and I…

Last time I took the One Room Challenge, back in the spring of this year, I had finished before the end of Week 5, and dedicated that week’s post to a “behind the scenes” of my photo shoot for the Week 6 reveal. I was done, in just about four weeks. This round looks a little…
Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 4: Injury to Insult
I had a long post planned for this week’s One Room Challenge update, but a nasty little virus visited me on Wednesday morning (and not a respiratory one…), and resigned me to the fetal position for the vast majority of the day.

Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 2: What is a Manbrary?
Although but a week has passed since the One Room Challenge, the brainchild of Linda at Calling it Home, began, it’s like three years in ORC time. In all seriousness, though, we are now at the week 2 mark – a full 1/3rd of the way through this thing. Wait…whaaaat? Last week I shared some pretty iffy…
Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 1: Let’s Go!
Aaaaand we’re back! It’s kind of sad that I haven’t blogged much – OK, only ONCE, since the last One Room Challenge. I could go on about how I’m so busy with client work and family stuff, but let’s just get down to business, shall we? For the uninitiated, the One Room Challenge was founded…
Read MoreOne Room Challenge – Week 6: The Reveal!
It’s finally here! The day all One Room Challenge-ers I have been waiting for. Week 6. For me, the big reveal of Project Vestibule. Big. HUGE. I blogged about the photo shoot that produced these pictures last week, and since then I’ve been practically jumping out of my skin fighting the urge to just put them out there…
