6 Week Transformation Challenge? Bring. It. ON!
I had NO idea the amount of stress that moving to a new home brings into someone’s life. The first thing that came to my mind was “How the Heck did we accumulate so much crap?!”
However, despite all the stress this past weekend brought, we are now finally in a place where we can call HOME. That makes me so happy!
Jake and I decided a long time ago that one of our first projects needs to be this living room. (Below) As this is the first room that guests will see when they walk into our home. We figure that this should be our ‘presentable’ room. The room that will help people feel cozy and welcome. This is the room that as a family we will sing songs around the piano, read scriptures and learn about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, a reading nook for where you may want to hide away. It will be our family gathering spot.
To make this dream happen we will be taking on a challenge of participating in the One Room Challenge hosted by Better Homes and Gardens. This challenge is a 6 week challenge to completely transform our space. Can we do it?! I have no idea, but I’m excited to try! (You don’t succeed unless you try, am I right?) But honestly, this challenge could NOT have come at a better time.
So, with that, starting off Week 1 here is what we are looking at … Yep, right there is what the room looks like right now… *yikes* … someone get me a strong drink (preferably a Mt. Dew) because I need a boost to tackle this beast of a mess.
So… yeah, we obviously have A LOT of work to do to make our dream board become a reality. Luckily we have most of the items on the dream board, we just have to make it happen. Luckily I have this cute little partner in crime to help motivate me. *Wish us luck!*
Stay tuned for an update from us next week to see our progress *WE CAN DO THIS!*
