One Room Challenge Spring 2022-Week 1

One Room Challenge Spring 2022

Are you ready for One Room Challenge Spring 2022? I will be transforming our old outdated bathroom with DIY’s and decorating ideas to inspire you.

Hello friends, welcome to the One Room Challenge spring 2022 week 1. In case you haven’t heard, One Room Challenge is an event that takes place twice a year with designers, decorators, and DIYers getting together to transform a room in their home in 8 weeks.

Every Wednesday 20 designers and guest participants share their process and the progress of their space. The next 8 weeks will be packed with sources, inspirations, DIY projects, and the highs and lows of transforming a space.

Last year I transformed my son’s bedroom into a warm, textural, cozy young adult’s bedroom. I was a bit nervous about finishing on time, especially because of all the DIY projects for the makeover, and delays in shipping. But, we were able to complete it on time and my son’s long-awaited room finally came to fruition. The best part is that my son loves his room and that’s worth all the late-night DIY projects and the panick to complete on time.

One Room Challenge – Bathroom renovation

For this challenge, we will be tackling the bathroom that we have been putting off for years.

This bathroom looked like it could have been from a scene in a horror movie. We bought our house with this hideous bathroom knowing that one day we will renovate it and make it beautiful. We didn’t want to look at the unusable, creepy bathroom every day. So we gut it out and prepared it for renovation. One eternity later… Really, it’s been years, still no bathroom!

The reason for this long-overdue bathroom remodel is my husband is a contractor and you know the saying about the “shoemaker’s children go barefoot.” Well, this renovation kept going to the bottom of the list of things to do in our house, now years later it’s at the top.

I had purchased the tiles, vanity, toilet bowl, shower fixture, and tub a few years ago preparing for the renovation. Good thing I chose a classic style otherwise everything would’ve been outdated by the time we got around to this renovation. However, I would like to make a change to the plain white vanity to give it a new look. I have a few ideas in mind and I’ll share the route I go with after I decide.

Joining the One Room Challenge give us the motivation we need to prioritize to see this bathroom makeover through from start to finish, I hope yikes!

The footprint of the bathroom is on the smaller side at around 6′ x 9′ in size, but 9-1/2′ tall ceilings give the appearance of a larger space.

The only source of natural light is from a skylight, there are no windows in this bathroom. So keeping it light is my main objective with the choice of tile and wall color.

Bathroom inspirations

I have searched some beautiful bathroom renovations from past One Room Challenge events for inspiration. So much creativity and vision has gone into creating these beautiful bathrooms.
