Week Seven: Spring One Room Challenge

Week Seven: Spring One Room Challenge

Well, I’m almost at the finish line of The One Room Challenge, and things are really heating up around here! Now it’s all about tying up the loose ends between my work schedule and family responsibilities. I need to review my to-do list for all upcoming deliveries to have a tracking number and a delivery ETA for this week. Plus, it’s a good time to review the budget to ensure I complete the project on time and within budget.

Progress Report

The New York Skyline mural in grey from Photowall was the jumping-off point for the entire design for the toddler’s room, and it has arrived and was installed this week by Durant Painting. I also had all of the cracks and uneven bumps in the ceiling repaired instead of installing the shiplap ceiling, which saved me a lot of money on the project.


I have begun to bring in accessories from Amazon, like storage bins and organizers (but we will get into those details during the reveal big reveal to style the space). The swivel chair and ottoman have arrived from Wovenbyrd, and it’s already making a big difference during story time at night. As well as the play table and chairs from Lalo so my son will have a designated area in his room to sit and play. Lastly, my husband and I spent the weekend re-painting the bedroom with Clare paint’s grayish. Thank you for your votes, it’s such a calming color, and it's in between gray and green.

Install Week

So what’s left … A LOT! I’m going to have a friend assist me this week to button up this room.  Below are the big items that I need to resolve ASAP:

  • Wall-to-wall carpet installation
  • Install closet system
  • Paint and style closet
  • Install lighting
  • Install acoustic wall tiles
  • Hang wall art
  • Style and accessorize the room for photo shoot


The photographer is scheduled for next weekend for the BIG reveal day. I cannot wait for you to see it and discuss all of the details and budget that went into this project.
