It’s week 2 of the @oneroomchallenge !

I passed this quick little drawing that’s a few steps above “hen scratch” to my cabinet maker so he can do his magic.

The pretty items are starting to arrive! Maybe I will narrow down the drapery dilemma... maybe not. 😂

Read all the details on the blog and be sure to check out the hundred plus rooms that are in motion by following #oneroomchallenge and #bhgorc !

We are moving along on this beauty!

New brick on the fireplaces, tile going down, bead-board is going up (thanks to the handy homeowner!)

Quick tip: Banish the old brass by painting it out! Swipe through to see the difference this little idea makes. 😊

We are inching closer to the finishing line on this “Designer by your side” project!

Starting Monday with a throwback when I partnered

Starting Monday with a throwback when I partnered with my local Sherwin Willams store to create a “little something more” from a simple utilitarian concrete pad

Now, this space is not only pretty and full of possibilities, it still functions as a motor court.

Thanks to the good folks at Sherwin Williams introducing us to the xylene based paint product we covered our boring concrete slab in geometric glory.

Seriously can not say enough good things about the effort our local Sherwin Williams managers went to make sure this project was a success.

Guess what?!? They do that for EVERYONE. Solid customer service and they really care about your project. This isn’t a paid advertisement- just testimony to a company that supports their customer base.

Now, back to the project-

As I rolled out paint, I realized that this space had already been privy to some special moments.

Our oldest daughter’s 13th birthday party was a luau complete with Hula dancers and guess where they performed?

Our son learned how to ride a bike with training wheels in this space.

High school swim team building fun & dinners happened here.

This room revamp was blessed with a beautiful foundation of great memories.

Isn’t that the best way for room makeovers to start? I’m happy to report fun little events continued here for us after the update. Including outdoor movie night on the massive DIY screen!

Today the home belongs to its new family and I have no doubt the happy memories will continue. The continuation is what keeps a house a home. ❤️

Happy Monday!

Today is the day! The @oneroomchallenge challenge

Today is the day! The @oneroomchallenge challenge with media partner @betterhomesandgardens has officially started!

Wednesday the featured designers/bloggers revealed their chosen room and guest participants are sharing today.

I’m excited to share the room I am working on this round.

Ready?

I am tackling our kitchen and morning room! The kitchen is going slightly swanky and I have beautiful plans for the morning room. BUT I need your help!

I’m not sure which direction I want to go for the curtains- I am looking at the 4 fabrics on the first slide. I have samples coming - which one speaks to you? The flat weave rug will actually be lighter in person.

Be sure to follow the #oneroomchallenge and #bhgorc to check out all the fun ahead and keep up with the hundreds of inspiring weekly updates over the next 8 weeks!

It’s all about Community over competition, let’s do this!

Today is all about benches! 25 to be exact and one that I’m smitten with not because I think it’s fabulous but because I think it has the makings of fabulous!

Hello Monday- I’m ready for you!

Yesterday, I turned 49. I wasn’t sure how I would feel about this number.

Until yesterday- it felt like the edge and my toes were dangling as the edge crumbled a little.

But yesterday the edge disappeared and all i saw was a stepping stone.

The gal behind the smile in this picture has been through a lot over the last 40 plus years.

And, I’ve decided to take this next year, this last year of my 40’s and make it the best ever. Then hit 50 like a bullet train. 😂

I will share more on what’s going on as this year starts ticking away. Things that will make you laugh till you cry and things that well, will just make you cry (at least they did me).
But for today and this week? It’s happily full and I’m ready. 😊

Here’s what’s going on around The Aspiring Home.

The design side-

Big client presentation this evening. Wednesday I have a onsite progress walkthrough that I’m so excited about and yes I will share pictures! Wrapping up Friday with another client presentation- master bath.

On the blog-

the @oneroomchallenge starts this week and I can’t wait to share the chosen room with you!

I have the neatest idea for wedding florals that turn into a keepsake for after the nuptials.

New frugal finds under $150

I’m going to show you how I painted a massive 8ft x 9ft. canvas!

So, buckle up Monday and hold on week- it’s going to be quite a ride!

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.
Ecclesiastes 3:1

A little hope to hold onto if you are in the season of waiting.

Happy Sunday my friends!
