So friends, here we are … week FIVE of this One Room Challenge.
I honestly can’t believe it!
Just one short week away from our big reveal (that’s right, ONE!) and it feels like we’re just barely getting started with things.
You see, we’ve only had 4 walls for about a week or so now (catch up with that story right here). And even those weren’t really, totally finished. We still had some wood planks to install (and by some, I mean three entire wall’s worth).
And then of course there would need to be some painting, new trim, more painting, new lighting, a bit more painting, a barn door installation, a bit a lot of furniture building, some furniture refinishing thrown in for good measure, hunting down the perfect curtains, then hanging them and, of course, the decorating.
Yet, despite having to finish up what is essentially six week’s worth of work in a mere two, we’re more hopeful than ever that we’ll somehow be able to pull it all off in time.
So, where exactly are we with things?
Well, we’ve got most of the walls covered with wood…
A whole lot of furniture to unpack/ build (find everything we chose for the space here)…
And, well, that’s about it.
Which means we’ve still got A LOT of work ahead of us!
– demo and rebuild wall
– paint chalkboard wall
– hang sliding door
– remove ceiling fan and move to centre
– plank walls and ceiling (don’t need to worry about that ceiling now!)
– paint walls and ceiling
– install new light
– replace trim and paint
– hang art and decorate
So, how exactly are we going to get this all done (and photographed) in just one short week? Here’s what I’m hoping the last week of this One Room Challenge will look like for us:
Thursday – prime & paint wood walls, build furniture from The Brick
Friday – paint & install trim, paint ceiling, paint chalkboard wall
Saturday – install new lighting, finish chalkboard wall
Sunday – hang sliding door, hang curtains, hang art
Monday – move in furniture
Tuesday – photograph
Wednesday – edit photos and write post for late night reveal!
Wish me luck my friends! I’m sure going to need it!!!

Hi Kristi,
I have learned so much…from your one room home improvements. We have completed out kitchen. Maple cabinets, pale grey backsplash and new porcelain tile flooring. We also painted the walls a light grey.
In our den..my husband did one accent wall in that tongue and groove pine boards. We also got down in the den, ECULYPTUS flooring and I love it. Stan(husband) and We have been taking our time, on all our projects. It has been a daily project since last DECEMEBR.
I just wanted to tell you to keep your blog going. You are in inspiration to others, who think they can not do it.!!
YES THEY CAN!!

Oh Brenda! What a lovely message to wake up to after a long night of working on the house! Thank you so, so much for your sweet words and sharing your story – it truly means the world to me! Your kitchen sounds amazing and I bet that eucalyptus flooring is absolutely gorgeous! Good for you two tackling all those projects around the house – it’s A LOT of work, but always worth it in the end! Thanks again Brenda!!! Wishing you the most wonderful day!
It is looking great! I am having the same feeling you are…still a ton to do but more hopeful than ever!
Thanks so much Andi! Here’s hoping we can both pull it off in time!!!
Kristi, everything is really coming together and looking great! Love your walls! Looking forward to seeing all your renos finished! It will be so nice for you and your family to have this room to just relax in and enjoy each other’s company! This has been a huge job but just look how lovely it looks! Just hang in there for another week, Kristi! The worst of the renos are behind you!
Blessing to you, my friend! Enjoy your day!
Thank you so, so much Mary-Ann! I always look forward to your sweet comments! Just finished up painting all that wood yesterday and hoping to tackle the chalkboard wall and trim today. It’ll be a big push, but we’ll get there!!! Wishing you a wonderful day too my friend!
How did you remove popcorn from ceiling?
Hi Vicki, we actually drywalled over top of it, but if you’re not up for such a big job, you could try this inexpensive planking method instead: https://www.makingitinthemountains.com/the-easiest-and-cheapest-way-to-transform-a-popcorn-ceiling-a-farmhouse-style-planked-ceiling-tutorial/.
Kristi – this is just amazing! It’s coming together beautifully and can’t wait to see the big reveal. I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed as well, but we got this, right? One more week! Phew!!
Thanks so much Jen! I always feel like I should be sailing through the decorating right about now, but it never seems to work out that way. 😉 Wishing you luck friend!
You have done a lovely job and all the work you did was very difficult, the planks are my favorite. Can’t wait to see it all!
Pray for you its gets all done,
Maria
