I am so excited to say that I’m participating in the Spring 2021 One Room Challenge this year!
For the past few years we have made a list of ideal projects at the beginning of the year. It helps to keep us organized and on track to meet our goals. My 2021 goal list included a lot of fun interior projects that I am so excited to work on. Unfortunately, most of that list is going to be on hold until next year, while we do some exterior updates. Over the next few weeks, we are having our roof replaced, siding repaired and painted, and driveway replaced. These updates and repairs are badly needed, but also so dang expensive! And that means, unfortunately, that a lot of my fun projects have been delayed a bit.
Our main bathroom, however, needs a facelift. I wrote about it here in my 2020 House Goals, but I’m sad to say it didn’t get done. We are planning just a budget update to tide us over, so it won’t be a huge cost (I’ll share it all at the end). I’m so excited to give it a fresh update!
I have watched others participate in the One Room Challenge each year and just loved following along with the projects. They are always so inspirational and I’ve found some of my favorite people and accounts to follow through the challenge. I’ve debated jumping in for a few years now but could never quite muster the courage. This year, I think the challenge will be the perfect push for me to get this project done and not let it drag out! It will force me to document the projects, which is something I’ve been trying to be better at.
Our bathroom has some great features (giant double vanity, shower and toilet separate from the vanity area), but it also has some features we don’t love, like carpet in the vanity area. We painted the room when we first moved in, but it’s looking a little tired now. We are planning to reuse and repurpose as much as we can, but the space will look completely different. Here’s the moodboard and project plan:
- Remove the carpet, replace with painted tile
- Paint the vanity
- Add vanity hardware
- Replace the countertop and sinks
- Replace the toilet
- Paint the shower room tile to match the vanity room
- Remove glass shower doors, replace with a curtain
- Clean, repair and paint walls, trim and doors
- Replace towel bars & hooks
Total budget: $1,000
I am so excited to get started! What do you think of the plans?
