The best time to start a new project is when you are ALMOST finished your last one, right? Okay, so the timing may not be ideal, but I’m just way too excited to participate in the Spring 2022 One Room Challenge, so here we are, starting ANOTHER room!

First, let’s talk about what the One Room Challenge is. Have you heard of it? It’s a biannual event that is held every spring and fall. Anyone with a blog or Instagram account is welcome to join the fun. It goes over 8 weeks and each week we share an Instagram or Blog post with an update on on our room. It’s a fun way to connect with other like minded people and be able to encourage each other through all the ups and downs of renovating! You can check out all the other participants HERE.

Without further ado, the room we’ll be working on is our basement WorkShop!

PROJECT GOAL: Make this space functional and organized without blowing the bank 🙂

One Room Challenge Spring 2022 Week 1 Sew Bright Creations

The VERY ROUGH Plan

You know how I plan, so take this with a grain of salt.

Remove everything from the room
Remove strapping and insulation from ceiling, clean + vacuum
Insulate outside walls and replace panel wall on both window walls
Build L shaped workbench against window walls
Install tool organizer above work bench
Replace other two walls and build shelving for tools + paint storage
Paint floor
Replace door

And a lot of other little details in between it all! Here’s a mood board with the look we are going for and I’m gonna emphasize the WE because Mr. Sew Bright is the interior designer behind this one and let’s just say I am focusing on keeping my mouth shut. HAHA. For real though, this is a space in the house he wanted to do, so I’ve promised to help make his vision come to life. In other words, I don’t want to hear about it if you don’t like the colours! LOL.

Here’s a little inspo…

Week 1 Progress

We are off to a …. start! I’m not sure how good it is, but here I go reminding myself that any progress is good progress.

Everything has been removed except for the cabinets. Hoping to find someone who wants them and can help lift them out of the basement. Next up, the ceiling. Follow along on INSTAGRAM for the day to day progress!

Check out the other ORC participants!

Any questions! Let me know in the comments!

It didn’t take much to get this far, except the use of my handy cordless vacuum!
