The One Room Challenge is back and Iām really excited to again participateĀ in this popular design challenge hosted byĀ Calling It Home. You can check out how I completed my daughters’ shared bedroomĀ here.
The catch to this challenge is that theĀ makeoverĀ has to be completed within 6 weeks. Trust me, those 6 weeks fly by! While there areĀ 20 design bloggers who are the official participants of the One Room Challenge, anyone with a blog can participate as well. The final room reveals will take place on November 9th (invited designers) and NovemberĀ 10th (guest participants). Eeeek – so soon!
The room I decided to make over is our master bedroom. I’m not even sure if I can call this room a master bedroom (makes me laugh) since it’s not a big space at all. Do I have a master bathroom orĀ walk-in closet inside? Nope, but this girl isn’t complainingĀ too much.
BEFORE PHOTOS
While neat from a recent fallĀ cleaning purge, this room is SO Blah.
It’s almost like we tried updating the room but never quite made it to the finish line. Experience tells me that participating in theĀ “One Room Challenge” will give me the motivation I need to fully redesign this space. Modern + Glam isĀ the look I’m after. š
Look how plain this room looks (mismatched furniture doesn’tĀ help either). Since the paint color still looks good, I’d like to avoidĀ repainting this room other than doing some stenciling work on an accent wall.
I’m removing theĀ white wire organizer on the rightĀ side of the room for sure! For the non-matching dressers, I plan to paint them either white or ivory.Ā The hardware on the dressers also need to be changed. But you knew thatĀ already.Ā š
Notice all theĀ empty and “wasted”Ā space above the dressers. My plan isĀ to add shelving, organizational baskets, and artworkĀ to fill out this space. Lots to think about!
In below photo, the curtains you see (haphazardly hung) are there to cover our small closet. Curtains over our closet was never meant to be a permanent solution.
Before I get into the “Inspiration Rooms”, I’d like to first show you my inspiration closet from Closet POSSIBLE:
If my room can speak, it would probablyĀ sayĀ scream, “O-M-G! Yes, we need this in our lives!”
I’m thrilled that theĀ lovely folks at Closet POSSIBLEĀ will be sponsoring my closet makeover for this challenge. A completeĀ overhaul of our closet was the biggest “bucket list” in our bedroom.Ā I can’t wait to share moreĀ details in next week’s One Room Challenge update.
INSPIRATION ROOMS
Inspiration Room # 1 from Dear Lillie Blog
Takeaway: It’s all about glam and feminine details in this room. I loveĀ the white curtains against the dark walls.
Inspiration Room #2 from Roses St. Trading Co.
Takeaway: Love the color combination of indigo and fuchsia against the white and neutral background.
Inspiration Room #3 from House to Home Magazine
Takeaway: I love that accent wall and want to stencil a similar pattern in my room.
Here’s my mainĀ “TO DO” list for our bedroom makeover:
1) WorkĀ with Closet POSSIBLE to overhaul bedroom closet.
2) Paint bed and dressers white/ivory.
3) Paint and reupholster accent chair.
4) InstallĀ curtains to both windows.
5) Lots of shopping – New bedding, throw pillows, area rug, picture frames, throw blanket… and quite possibly the kitchen sink!
6) Create gallery wall.
7) Stencil an accent wall behind bed. {90% sure that’s the plan}
8) InstallĀ shelving forĀ organizational baskets.
As you can see, there’s a lot of DIY work to be done withinĀ these short 6 weeks. It’s a relief to know that my closet is in good hands with Closet POSSIBLE. When you visit their website here, you will see why I entrusted them for this major project in my room. Stay tuned next week as IĀ share more details of the plans.
I’m so excited to see what amazing projects other participants come up with for this challenge! Be sure to visitĀ Calling It HomeĀ to check out the projects being shared.

Thanks, Colette! I can’t wait for the transformation on that closet.
I love the glam style that you’re going after–I bet it’s going to look great! I’m also doing our master bedroom for the ORC and I had to laugh at how much I can relate to calling a walk-in closet, mine is super cramped too haha.
Thanks, Angela! Glad that you can relate. That’s awesome that you’re doing your master bedroom too.
So much potential! Can’t wait to see what you do!
Thanks, Amanda!

Great closet system. We don’t have a walk-in closet either, but with a little organization, my husband and I are able to share it, even with all of our seasonal clothes not packed away!
I can’t wait to see how your bedroom turns out!!!
I love your room inspiration! So many pretty details! And that closet system is amazing!! I could use one of those in my life š
I love your choices for the inspiration, the room with the hot pink colorful art work, is to drool over, your shelving and organization baskets ideas will add charm and extra space for your stuff.
