Welcome to the Week 3 of the One Room Challenge

Hope you had a great Easter! It was so good to spend more time with my family as I had enjoyed a long (4-day) weekend. It was busy, but a different busy. Do you know what I mean? We have been working on our One Room Challenge Master Bedroom renovations here, trying to fit in other projects in between as well. I will be sharing them with you later 🙂 Now, are you ready to dive into Week 3 of the One Room Challenge?

Hint: If you click on the ORC logo below (after you read my post of course!),  it will take you to the page with all those beautiful projects 🙂

Here is a quick update on what we have done this week

  • painted walls. The colour is Ice Age by Cloverdale (Ecologic).

First, we had to fill the holes, and there were quite a few. To help it dry faster we used a hair dryer. Look what a wonderful helper we have here!

preparing walls for paint

  • purchased wallpaper. We will be applying it this weekend. Stay tuned 🙂
  • ordered some lighting fixtures. Yaaay! It looks like one of the items will be arriving next week, but the other one is being back-ordered. I have ordered them online and really hope they will be the right ones for our design.

Hunting for good stuff

The last two weeks we have visited many stores both in Canada and the US looking for interesting finds for our project. I have browsed tonnes of websites selling wallpaper, lighting fixtures, rugs, and bedding. The worst part of it is when you see something you like, and you convince yourself to go home and “think about it”. The next day you go back to the store as you really feel like you need to get that something. And

It Is Gone.

Can you feel my pain???

I really liked a painting I saw at Homesense (a retailer that sells a brand home and fashion products for a discounted price). Now it is gone. I was able to find something else, but it is not the same. Anyway, we are keeping it, and I will be showing it at the final reveal.

Still to-do:

  • paint the doors (week 4)
  • apply wallpaper (week 4)
  • replace the lighting (week 5)
  • decorate (is this one your favourite on the list? – week 5 and 6)

This is it for now. Share your tips on a wallpaper application or your favourite stores for decor shopping in the comments.

Hugs,

    I so feel your pain on losing out on a purchase. I saw a nightstand I loved and it got swiped before I could go back and get it. Back to the drawing board on that one! Love your new paint color, though!

      Oh no! I try to avoid impulsive purchases, but this just proves it that sometimes you do need to trust your guts!
      Thank you, Leslie! The paint looks really nice in real life.

One of the plants that I’ve wanted to have in my One of the plants that I’ve wanted to have in my garden for so many years!

It was growing in our neighbours yard in my home country. When I was a kid I loved seeing those white “snowballs” on that tree. 

Many years later, in one of the local nurseries, I noticed a tiny plant that looked so familiar, I was almost crying when I saw it 😊

Of course I got it!

It has only been in our garden for 3 years but it has grown into a beautiful plant which seems to be happy and shows off it’s gorgeous blooms!

Some plants, like hosta, love it! They grow rapidly and show off 😁

We don’t mind it! Let them shine 😉

Honestly, I’m becoming obsessed with hosta! I wish I could add so many more of them into our small urban lot where we try to grow fruit and veggies and a few flowers 😊

They are also perfect plants to fill the shady spots. And because there are so many kinds, sizes and colours of them, you can create gorgeous garden spots with them!

Who else is obsessed with hostas or planning to add them in their gardens?

Do you can your produce? What’s your favorite jam?

I’m also usually very generous on Likes and always “return the favour” 😊 But noticed that the photos I for liked before, was not liked 🤨

Is it just me or you’ve experienced that too?

Btw, our lilies and daylilies have been growing so nicely this year! The blooms are gorgeous!

I had a few days of scheduled vacation during the spring break to enjoy some family time and to travel.

With the current situation, travel is not recommended, so our garden is getting a lot of attention 😁
