This week we got A LOT done for the Fall One Room Challenge! The bathroom was demoed, the vanities and doors were all painted and the flooring is almost installed! I have fully excepted now that we will not finish this space in six weeks 🙁 I feel a little bummed because I really thought we could do it, but realize we had a lot of other things going on (like a vacation and my sister’s wedding :)) that kept us busy! I am still excited about finishing this space and can’t wait to show you how far it’s come.
Here are all of my posts thus far for this One Room Challenge:

Design Board
I have finally finished the design board for this space! It has the main aspects of the design and then lots of my decor ideas. I just love seeing a room come together 🙂
A before refresher:
Flooring
This week we completely demoed the flooring along with the old vanities so we could prepare for the tile floor install. This went surprisingly smooth!
The beautiful flooring will be installed tomorrow! So once the grout dries we can install the new vanities (hopefully this weekend)!
Mirrors
I got both of the mirrors for this space from TJ Maxx AKA the best place to buy affordable large mirrors (like I mention in my Decorating on a Budget: Part 2 post).
Wallpaper Installation
I will be installing the wallpaper this weekend when I have time. I am a little nervous about this since I have never installed wallpaper, but I have been reading lots of tutorials so I feel pretty good about it! Wish me luck 🙂
Other Updates
Before the end of this challenge, my hope is that we get everything finished except for the countertops. Those babies will take another two weeks to order and install so we will be waiting on countertops. I plan to do a blog post on painting cabinet doors and installing wallpaper in the upcoming weeks based on my experience during this One Room Challenge. So keep an eye out for those!

This is going to be sooo pretty! Love all the details you have selected. Good luck this next week.
Thank you so much Libbie! I am excited to finish up, but we won’t finish by this Thursday (week 6)… I guess that is why it is a challenge right? ha!
It is better to do it slowly, at least you can choose and plan it perfectly. Your design choices are good! Can’t wait to see the result!
Kyra! Thank you so much! Can’t wait to show the final reveal in a few weeks 🙂
Hiring the right contractor is very important in building your dream home. They should be excellent and should work in your budget.
I’ve tried this before, it took me months I think? But, it was all worth it! Can’t wait to see the outcome of your room 🙂
