Fall ORC Week 3
Guess what? We didn’t accomplish anything One Room Challenge related last week. A combination of exhaustion from too many plans and waiting on materials caused serious burnout. Luckily, both Colin and I are feeling more motivated and we have ZERO plans this weekend for the first time in 2 months. I’M SO EXCITED! We will have all the time for…

Fall 2020 ORC Week 1
The One Room Challenge is back and so are we! If you are new here, my name is Bridget, and I recently bought a 1958 ranch house with my fiancé (first time writing that- ah!), Colin. We both have full-time jobs, but our passion is bringing this house back to life. Colin and I renovated our en suite bathroom during…

Pink Bathroom Refresh Ideas
Now that we have a beautiful new en suite bathroom, it really highlights the tragic state of our second bathroom. Since we have no intention of fully renovating this room anytime soon, I have decided that a pink bathroom refresh is badly needed! My goal is to keep this project under $200. I just want to make the bathroom more…

Main Bedroom Mood Board
Before we get into today’s post, I wanted to thank you all for the overwhelming response to our bathroom reveal. I am so grateful for every comment, like, share, etc. and you all really blew me away!

Light Blue Bedroom Inspiration
Now that we are almost finished with our en suite bathroom, I have started looking at some light blue bedroom inspiration. This project will seem like a piece of cake compared to completely gutting and renovating a bathroom. All our bedroom really needs is a coat of paint and some fresh decor. It is currently being used as a storage…

Olive Green Guest Room Makeover Vision Board
I just signed up for the Spring 2020 One Room Challenge, so today I have a couple vision boards for our olive green guest room makeover! We originally planned to renovate our master bathroom, but with the state of our world right now, we decided that a smaller scale project is a better idea. Social distancing means not calling a…

Living Room Mood Board with Mid Century Flair
Creating a living room mood board has not been an easy task. It’s the first room you see when you walk in the front door. It’s the room that we will likely use most often. And it only has 1 wall. I love the openness and the picture window, but designing an open concept room is new for me! All…

Design Inspiration for a Mamie Pink Bathroom
Our 1958 ranch house came complete with a Mamie pink bathroom. What is a Mamie pink bathroom you ask? Head on over to Save the Pink Bathrooms to find out more about this popular mid century design choice. While it may have been tre chic in 1958, it looks grimy now. Are you stuck with a blah pink bathroom too?…

Options for DIY Window Treatments
In today’s installment of “Bridget learns the real price of home remodeling,” we are talking window treatments. More specifically, curtains, because we already forked out a ton of money for shades throughout the house. But guess what friends?! Windows also need curtains. And guess what else?! Curtains are very expensive. So today I am going over some “lower cost” budget…
