ORC Kitchen Nook Refresh | Week 1 | Priming & The Plan
Hi Everyone! I’m so excited that you’re here and am also thrilled to begin another One Room Challenge (ORC)! This spring, I am going to be refreshing our kitchen nook at the Beach Cabin. It isn’t exactly a kitchen nook but it is by the kitchen, so close enough!

Elegant Dining Room Refresh- One Room Challenge (ORC), Week 3 Updates
Hi! It’s the 3rd week of the One Room Challenge for our Elegant Dining Room Refresh, and we keep getting delayed. If you missed last week, Gretchen and I attempted to stain and paint a console table. You can learn everything we learned not to do (haha!) in the post here. You can see how all of it will fit together into her Dining Room Refresh here.

Beach Cabin Screened in Porch: ORC, Week 6
The Beach Cabin Screened In Porch is finished! Sort of. I could blame it on the rain. Or a busy spring. Or training for a 25k. I could… Anyway, the porch is mostly finished. I’d love to add a new wall light. It has been purchased but needs to be installed. I also had grand plans of adding some curtains out there. We’ll see. The sailing line plans are also on a brief hold. (You can read all about them in last week’s post here.) In fact, if you are new here and want to catch up on the topsy turvy Beach Cabin Screened In Porch plans, you can click on…

Beach Cabin Porch, ORC Week 5
Hi there! It has been raining almost all week (and even snowed last Saturday!) which made painting the Beach Cabin Porch difficult to say the least. The rain finally cleared on Friday and our family is spending the weekend enjoying the nice spring weather. I may have even asked/begged for a little help getting the porch ready.

Porch Furniture Options: ORC Week 2
Porch Plans Hi there! The plan for this week was to prep the porch for some new paint but I didn’t make it out to the Beach Cabin when the weather was nice earlier this week and now we are expected to get an ice storm tonight. So those plans will have to wait. In the meantime, I thought I’d give you a quick round up of our porch furniture options.

Screened in Porch Plans: ORC Week 1
Hi there- I hope you all are having a wonderful Spring! I’ve decided to participate as a guest participant in the One Room Challenge with Media Partner Better Homes & Gardens again! (Check out all of the wonderful design plans from the other participants here!) It was just what I needed this past fall to finally finish the Beach Cabin Sleeper Attic. (You can check out the finished room here.) I was trying to decide between our Master Bedroom at our house (it needs a ton of work!) and the screened in porch at the Beach Cabin. Given that summer is almost here (fingers crossed, fingers crossed), it made more…

ORC Week 6: The Beach Cabin Sleeper Attic Makeover
Hello and Happy Friday! I am feeling especially cheerful as we finished up and photographed the attic makeover this week for the One Room Challenge. It has been a wonderful experience to participate in the ORC with such a talented and supportive group. Check out all of the final projects here. Many thanks to Linda from Calling It Home and media partner Better Homes & Gardens for hosting this lovely event! The goal for the Beach Cabin Attic was to make it special for kids but also livable for adults. We rent the Beach Cabin for a few weeks each summer and the families that visit vary in their needs…

ORC Week 2: The Beach Cabin Attic Floors
Hi there! Hope you are all doing well!! We are having a fun-filled week with field trips and dentist appointments. We did manage to get started painting the Beach Cabin floors for the ORC project this past weekend and I’m hoping to finish them up soon…. As a reminder, this is what the Beach Cabin Attic looked like previous to our purchase… And this is what the attic looked like when I shared the ORC: Week 1… A couple of things that I’ve been turning around in my head… In person, I actually love the white washed ceiling and walls. They were done so well by the previous owners and…
