I think I deserve it) , then you know that their timeline for redoing an entire home is usually somewhere between 6-10 weeks. This precedent may lead you to … Continue reading MASTER BEDROOM, THE REVEAL : ONE ROOM CHALLENGE WEEK 6
I can't believe that we are going into the last week of the One Room Challenge. Five weeks to completely makeover a space feels like running a marathon... if marathons involved zero running and a lot of power tools. I am very task oriented, so I always have some sort of project in the works. … Continue reading A BENCH, A LADDER, AND TWO GALLONS OF PAINT : ONE ROOM CHALLENGE WEEK 5
