One Room Challenge Week 1: the Design

April 4, 2019 by Tamara Anguiano 5 Comments

Its the season to spring into action and to “Do it Scared”. I have never heard of the ORC (One Room Challenge) before until a Facebook group brought it up this past week. I am at the point in my life where I am tired of being scared and I want to show what I can do. Plus this room really needs some tlc.

What is ORC?

What it is is a biannual challenge for 20 featured designers to transform a room in 6 weeks. Also, anyone can participate as a guest. In addition, those guest will have the opportunity to be a feature designer in the ORC Fall 2019. Pretty neat huh?

The Room

So the room that I chose to do was the 1/2 bath or if you want to be bougie, “the powder room”. Its one of the one rooms downstairs that is an eyesore. Its awkwardly somewhat spacious but very dark with no natural light.

This room is basically used all the time rather then the master, or the guest since its the only one downstair in near the common areas.

That light really makes the room more yellow then it is. Plan to use a more natural light bulb to give it that more light and bright effect.

Yes I know Don’t Judge ; P

it looks like a stain but the previous owners or who ever had poor painting skills.

The Design

The design I chose was a rustic Italian theme. This is the theme I have going on downstairs so I wanted the design to flow through the bottom floor. I am obsessed with fixer upper so thank you Joanna Gaines for giving me the inspiration for my half bath.

Rustic Italian Design theme

I plan to keep the original sink but replace the faucet fixtures with an oil rubbed finish. However, I will be building a look alike smaller vanity that will fill in the empty space under the light switch. This will house toiletries and reading material.

I’m sorry but that eighties light fixture has got to go. I found this one on Wayfair and love how it adds a modern Mediterranean feel. I have a oval framed mirror that I will be refinishing to look a bit similar to the one in the picture, but without the ornate detailing.

The walls will be painted creamy by Sherwin Williams and the paneled chair rail that I will DIY will be Clary Sage SW. Lastly, I am doing the floors. Your girl ain’t got that much moolah so its another DIY. I plan to do a faux terra cotta finish to them. So excited to see how that is going to come out.

So thats basically it for week 1. Just nailing down a design and researching materials and deciding on a budget. Make sure to check out the other guest participants at ORC for some more awesome work yet to come. By the way, I plan to stay under $300. Wish me luck.

    These plans are fantastic! I can’t wait to see everything pulled together. I like how your plan makes the most of lack of natural light and embraces the warmth.

Yup I know I have been gone for a hot minute. Well Yup I know I have been gone for a hot minute. Well from starting interior design school, finding out I’m prego, and trying to finish a ton of orders. It’s been a doozy for sure. Im so glad and grateful that I have patient (I mean very patient) clients. 🥰I’m a bit nervous for the challenges to come but I’m super excited to take them on.  So here is my first drafting sketch of a floor plan and I hope to show you guys more content to come. For any aspiring interior designer feel free to ask me questions as I continue this course and others. P.s. I do have a ton of furniture build plans I need to work on so hopefully I get get them on the blog slowly but surely. #drafting #interiordesign #pregnancyannouncement #woodworking #satxbloggers #artinstitutesanantonio #floorplans #goals
The beast is done. Tv console/ doggie kennel. Firs The beast is done. Tv console/ doggie kennel. First time and I think it came out pretty good, what you think?  Maybe some plans?  My mom is thinking she wants a side table version for her little beast. That could be interesting.  On a side note, do you have a fur baby? I am in love with my little trouble maker “Max”. He is a shiba inu with a crazy ton of personality. Tell me about your doggie 🐶 😉😊#woodworking #diy #doggiekennel #diydogkennel #shebuilds #shibainu #femalewoodworkers #cuttingrebar #rusticdecor #industrialrustic #tuesdayfun #carpentry #satxblogger #satxcarpenter #furbaby🐶 #woodworker🔨
Bet you guys thought all I do is woodworking and d Bet you guys thought all I do is woodworking and design boards. Nope, there are actually a few things I do, and paper mache is one of them. I can't get my son to stop playing around with these. Aren't they cool. I freaking love Halloween, and Halloween decor is still home decor. I got a few more coming out can't wait to see how they turn out. ⠀

But the part I remember most is that the client wanted a natural pine stain rather than dark. That was fun trying to sand down the tops. As for the bottom I just ended up replace them. It’s happens, especially with mommy brain 😉😁😂.

In this day in age, it's hard not to get mixed up in comparing your self with others and trying to be some you are not.⠀
⠀
Stay true and be you. What the fun in life if you can't be yourself. Love yourself. And never stray away from being who you truly are. ⠀

I love being corky, weird, boyish, girlie, confident/ not, being a creator/ artisan, a hard worker, and having a military sense of humor. ⠀

What do you love about yourself?⠀

I hope you guys enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. Up I hope you guys enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. Update: So the plans are done and I love how they came out. To check out the full version head to the blog where I stash all my free furniture plans at. If you haven't seen the finished product, scroll down a little on the feed and you will be able to spot it. This design is with faux drawers because I did not need any more areas to put crap in and hide. My poor kitchen cabinets already do all of the heavy hiding and are probably stuffed to the max. Anyway, I digress. So the drawers are basically for show. If your wondering were I got the hardware, @hobbylobby never disappoints. ⠀
