Hello Everyone! Today the One Room Challenge Spring edition officially starts! It’s been a minute since I’ve participated in the One Room Challenge, Spring of 2020 to be exact. Back in Spring 2020, I gave my Cottage She Shed a full makeover, I’m still in love will all the updates completed during the challenge.
The thing I love most about ORC is the timeline pushes you to get creative, think on your feet when your original design plans don't as planned, and, most importantly, finish your space. I also love following everyone's spaces as they come together in eight weeks. Trust me when your working on a project regardless of size for ORC challenge the eight weeks goes by so fast! Read more about my last One Room Challenge project here, from the beginning.
ONE ROOM CHALLENGE // THE PROCESS
OCR is a bi-annual challenge taking place every Spring and Fall, ORC is hosted by Linda Weinstein of Calling it Home with media partner with Apartment Therapy, so its a kind of a big deal!
Every Wednesday for eight consecutive weeks, I will be sharing my progress on the blog and sharing lots behind the scenes details on Instagram Stories, please follow along on Instagram too! On Instagram stories, I’ll share details about the design process and taking everyone along with me as I shop of elements to bring my space together to create my design vision.
ABOUT KATRINA BLAIR
Welcome to my blog! Before sharing the space I'm tackling, here's a little about me. My name is Katrina. I live in Sacramento, California, in a small charming 1950's ranch house with my husband and our two sons and chocolate lab Oliver. I'm a lover or small old houses; old homes have that built-in charm.
I consider my style California Modern Casual, I love a mix of clean lines, paired with classic elements and a dash of mid-century vibe is a must in every room I design. On my blog, I share design ideas for small home dwellers, sharing how to maximize small spaces, along with DIY Projects and Design Inspiration inside and out.
One Room Challenge Project // KITCHEN MAKEOVER
For the Spring One Room Challenge, I’m giving my kitchen a makeover! I’m so excited about this project and looking forward to giving our kitchen and update, while its not going to be a gut job, since our cabinets our 11 years old and good condition, but they can definitely use a new coat of paint!
It’s still going to be a major update with new appliances, fixtures and hardware and paint! I’m most excited and nervous about the paint, I’m heading to a few paint stores this weekend to pick up paint color samples, sharing those deets on Instagram. Fortunately I love our kitchen layout and it fits of small space perfectly, in addition to design updates, I also want to make the interiors of the cabinets more organized and refresh kitchen ‘decor’ elements and get new cookware, pending budget! Here’s a look at our kitchen.
Week Two, I will share my design plan, I’m still getting a few pieces of my design solidified and can’t share in detail my design plans. In the meantime, please follow me on Instagram I will share all the behind the scenes details, the good and the bad! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the space I’m giving a makeover! I’m so excited to breathe new life into our kitchen!
