Hello friends!
Welcome back to week four of our six week One Room Challenge renovation.
Four short weeks ago, we embarked on the journey to update our outdated powder room with loads of farmhouse style.
And where are we four weeks later?
Right in the thick of it my friends.
That part where the mess seems to spread through every inch of our house. I swear, I see nothing but dust and footprints everywhere I look. I will be SO much happier once we’ve made it through this stage and the floors actually stay clean when I vacuum them!
I’m not sure I’ve mentioned it, but in addition to making over our powder room, we’ve also decided to get a bit of work done in our mudroom while we’re at it – drywalling that wall we moved for our new family room, moving the plumbing and electrical for our washer & dryer, drywalling over the popcorn ceiling, installing new lighting and of course, levelling out and tiling the floors. Because, you know, a six week powder room gut job just wasn’t enough. Ha!
Thankfully, the end is in sight (despite how it looks).
We’ve called in the big guns (again) – I’m so very grateful that my Uncle Les has come to save the day! As I type this, he’s hard at work mudding and taping up our new walls and ceiling (along with the patchwork in our powder room) and once we’re done with all that, we’ll be moving right into tiling those floors. I can’t wait to see this gorgeous marble hex tile in our new powder room!!!
It’s going to pair so perfectly with the tile we plan to lay in the adjoining mudroom space.
And, just as soon as we get that tile finished up, we’ll move right into the shiplap and stencilling (find all those details in our design plans here). Be sure to follow along on Instagram for all sorts of sneak peeks!
I can’t believe we’re already four weeks in and here we are without a single thing crossed off our list!!!
– install new pocket door barn door
– tile bathroom floor
– stencil walls
– add planked walls and paint
– replace trim
– install new vanity
– install faucet, towel and toilet tissue holders
– install new toilet
– install new lighting
– decorate!
I know there’s still SO much to work through, but I’m still more hopeful than ever that we’ll find a way to pull this all off in time!!!

That tile will look amazing, Kristi! Can’t wait to see it installed!
Thank you!!! Dying to get this all finished up!!!
It’s going to be stunning! I adore the marble tile you chose. I’ve considered something similar in my master bath room, whenever we get to that renovation. I can’t wait to see everything come together!
Thank you so, so much! I love the classic look of it and can’t wait to see it in the finished space!
Your Uncle is a lifesaver!! That tile is so gorgeous I can’t wait to see it once it’s in!
He really is!!! Thanks Bre!!!
Sometimes you have to call for back up! Can’t wait to see it all finished!
Hahaha, so true! Thanks so much Sarah!
You defiantly have your hands full with this project! Hopefully you guys got over the hump and everything will quickly fall into place now. I love the tile choices you have made, can’t wait to see how this space turns out.
Thank you so, so much Charlotte!
Yay for your uncle! I love the tile that you picked. It’s going to look gorgeous! Good luck with the next 2 weeks!
Thanks so much Sam!
Kristi, I am feeling the same way as all the contents of both bathrooms are spread out around the house. 🙂 That hexagon tile is beautiful! I know this bathroom will be just as beautiful as your last ORC bathroom and the mud room! I’ve always wanted a mud room/laundry room. Can’t wait for reveal day my friend! XOXO, Sarah
Thank you so, so much Sarah! I’ll be SO happy when we’ve made it to the other side of this one! xo
My week was stagnant too- I absolutely think I need an uncle Les! And the more we save til the end, the more exciting it will be, right?? 😉
Hahaha! SO true Kelley! Thanks so much!
Can you send Uncle Les down to Chicago please??? hahahah OK good luck Kristi! I know you’ll pull it off!
Hahaha! I’m sure he’d LOVE to come down to help!!! Thanks so much Bre!
Your tile is so gorgeous! I can’t wait to see it all come together!!
Thanks so much Jenny! I absolutely love it too!
Ugh, the middle is always the hardest! Hang in there! It’s going to be amazing when it’s all done. So glad you decided on a barn door instead of a pocket one. That’s going to add so much character.
Thanks so much Chelsea! I agree, the middle is always the hardest part! Here’s to a productive 2 weeks to go!
I can’t wait to see it all done! It seems like a long ways away, but all that behind the scenes stuff takes soooo long! Just ask my Master Bathroom Renovation… lol. Looks great do far!
Thanks so much Lindi! Feels great to finally be seeing things start to come together this week!
Hi Kristi, Love your work! Do you mind telling me what wood product you used for the shiplap look in the bathroom? and where you purchased it? I was planning on doing our bathroom but have had no luck finding the right height of planks ( looking for 6″ or 8″ height) and so far only found MDF( which wouldn’t be good for a bathroom) Hope you can help. Thanks
Thanks so much Lisa! We actually used a primed hardboard and had Home Depot cut it into 8″ planks. We’ve also found 6″ pine planks at most hardware stores (we used them in our son’s room and family room), if you’re looking for a more authentic tongue and groove, or if you’d like an even wider look, a thin plywood cut into strips would work perfectly too. Hope this helps!
