Modern Multi-Use Space Reveal

Modern Multi-Use Space Reveal

Welp, it’s the sixth and final week of the One Room Challenge hosted by Calling it Home, and it’s time for my modern multi-use space reveal. 🙂

But if you’re just joining me…

The ORC is a twice-a-year blogging event that challenges participants to completely redesign a space in 5 weeks. I am not a designer, but a lot of DIY bloggers join the ORC as guest participants. And since we just bought our first home and I’ve been hard at work making it our own, I thought it was a great time to join! As I said in my week 1 post, I didn’t want to take on a major project for my first One Room Challenge room. I’m worked on a space off the side of our kitchen that we use for our dining area and my office space.

Here’s a recap of the progress over the past five weeks:

WEEK 1: Before and plans

WEEK 2: Paint; replace light figure

WEEK 3: Shades, curtains; decide on rug (reusing)

WEEK 4: Paint plant pots; re-pot plants; plant stand

WEEK 5: DIY and hang art; re-finish desk top; install solar shade

WEEK 6: DONE: And here it is!
