ONE ROOM CHALLENGE | WEEK FOUR
Welp… it’s week four of the One Room Challenge and I’m officially really freaking behind. In my defense, I wasn’t really prepared to do the challenge at this point given I was traveling the first week, I had a big Black Friday launch for work, and a Halloween party to decorate for and execute on my own. Now that the dust has settled on the party and my house is an absolute wreck I realize how far behind I am on the guest room project. #nodaysoffnovember
Since I don’t have much progress to share, I’m going to run you through every single thing I have to do and my plan to do it.
Remove blinds & everything else from the room including wall plates & thermostat.
Remove baseboard and use as template for new taller baseboard (these were scribed to fit the floor).
Install new baseboard.
Install paneled ceiling & faux beams. Not excited about the math on this part.
Fill holes, sand & caulk anything that needs to be repaired.
Paint trim, doors, baseboard heater & closet.
Paint walls.
Now given that I work a full time job, I don’t own some of the tools required and there’s some wait times between each step, I’ve assembled a list of other things that need to be done so that I can keep this project moving in the mean time.
Strip, stain, & seal bedframe
Repair & paint nightstands
Paint new lamps
Rub n’ Buff curtain rods
Trim bamboo blinds
Paint art mats & picture frames
Order: overhead light, smart bulbs, bedding, curtains & curtain hardware
Source: ottomans & artwork
I’m going to need to borrow some tool from my step dad to do this job:
Jig saw
Table saw
Battery operated finish nailer
To accomplish all this I’m going to need to get in the habit of waking up early and getting a decent nights rest.
