One Room Challenge – Week 4 – Bedroom Makeover

Welcome! Is it already week 4 of the One Room Challenge? Are we already halfway over? It’s crazy how fast time flies when you’re under the gun! I must confess, I am not at all where I should be in this process of making over my son Kyle’s bedroom. You can catch up on my previous post here.

One Room Challenge – Week 4 –Trials and Tribulations

The reason for falling behind is that I have been fighting with the painting technique for the featured wall. Let’s just say the paint won the battle. I was trying out a drippy paint technique on the wall to create a cement/tile look. It looked great when I painted it in a small section, but painting the entire wall was a different story. I used watered-down paint to get the look, the variation of color that was naturally happening was beautiful but wasn’t consistent enough for the whole wall. I painted and repainted the wall two times, maybe the third time will be the charm. If this technique doesn’t work out, I’ll have to try a different to method achieve the look I want.

I am off to finish this wall, but if you want to skip the paint and go straight to wallpaper, here are a few beautiful options…

At least all the furniture has arrived and I can’t wait to put it all into the bedroom. Before that I still have a lot more to accomplish.

One Room Challenge – To do list

• DIY wood slat wall
• Build a tufted headboard
• Faux paint featured wall to make it look like a cement wall
• Paint rest of the room a solid color
• Install baseboard and molding around windows

Well, I have to get cracking on finishing this wall so I can start with the wood slat wall. Hope you come back to see the rest.
