It’s Week 5 of the One Room Challenge and we are nearly crossing the finished line! Over the weekend we wrapped up installation of our new LIFECORE wood floors! Everyone who has returned after the installation marvels about them and loves the 7″ wide planks! We used the float installation method which means the new hardwoods were installed over the existing floor. Not having to demo the old floors saved us lots of time and mess.…

It’s Week 4 and we are more than halfway to the finished line. Everyone is excited around here, even the late adopters have finally caught on.

ORC WEEK 2 – AN ODE TO THE SEASHORE

folder_openDESIGN, one room challenge, RENOVATIONS
So here we are in Week 2 and I’m pretty satisfied with our progress. However, after posting WEEK ONE, I realized something was missing, a project nickname. Before we start the design process in a home, we give each project a nickname. For example, our Tuxedo Project was called “Organic Sophistication”, while our Clifton Road project was called “Today’s Traditional Design” Naming each project helps us stay focused and true to the overall aesthetic. I realized…
