It’s no joke when she puts the discussion “challenge” inwards One Room Challenge. If you’re novel to this challenge, Linda at Calling it Home challenges us to completely redesign a room inwards our homes inwards simply half dozen weeks. This is my 4th fourth dimension participating. You’d intend I would’ve learned from the kickoff iii rooms… but I pigeon dorsum inwards anyway, knowing simply how crazy it would be! This calendar week nosotros finally got started on the space, but it’s non coming along likewise apace yet.
Just to remind you, this ^^ is what our fireplace looked similar a few weeks ago. I simply wasn’t feeling the tile.
When nosotros did our bath present a few weeks ago, nosotros needed to rip off a bunch of the drywall simply about the fireplace, as well as nosotros were already smashing tile – thence nosotros simply went crazy as well as smashed upwardly the fireplace too.
We redid the drywall, as well as added cement board to the fireplace. You are supposed to set it upwardly when it’s going to live simply about heat, but whoever built the abode in conclusion fourth dimension never did it! We were happy to cook that footling error!
The in conclusion measurement nosotros got done was to tile the flooring simply about the fireplace. We used the same tile every bit the floors inwards our bathroom, since the room are oddly opened upwardly to 1 another.
Now that the tile is on identify as well as grouted nosotros are laid upwardly to brick the fireplace, as well as set our DIY Wooden Mantel dorsum on – later I strip off the glossy goal of course!
The other measurement inwards the sleeping accommodation reno that nosotros started was stripping the wallpaper, as well as epitome the walls. I entirely wanted to guide maintain each terminate panel of wallpaper off thence that nosotros could pigment inwards the corners. There would live naught worse than epitome as well as putting upwardly novel wallpaper, entirely to realize that yous tin notwithstanding come across the quondam colour inwards the corners!
I guide maintain to say, the wallpaper came upwardly JUST every bit easily every bit it went on! Seriously, I simply got an border as well as pulled it upwardly – it pulled inwards 1 corporation slice all the means upwardly the ceiling. NO effort. Hallelujah!
So I painted simply about my husband’s built-in closet, as well as into the closet.
And thence I temporarily removed our barn door thence that I could pigment that wall too. The whole room is a beautiful crisp white now.
If yous recollect the design board from in conclusion week, I also got all of my rugs, duvets, fans, as well as planters ordered! Everything is on it’s way!
