Here we go again, it is that time of the year, the time we take on the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE and transform a space and do it in eight weeks.

Here we are on week # 3 of the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE, sponsored by BETTER HOMES & GARDENS magazine. There are a lot of guest participants with amazing projects on their hands who are transforming some great spaces. In the meantime, as I browse through the graphics on the #oneroomchallenge web page, I wonder… do I still want to learn to use power tools?

OMG! Down to the wire. Just when you think you have plenty of time, time runs by you. And because you have added “little extras & details,” guess what? Time is gone!

So now we are onto week two of the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE- , and I am sure fellow guest participants have also made a lot of progress. I am still undecided regarding colors for the table I said I would finish and pondering whether the board with hooks should be the same color as the table or not.

Creating the ideal color palette for your home is a fun, multi-step process that will build on itself over time.

Hardware for your space in terms of a reno project, a design project, or often both can be anything from hinges and door handles or locks to cabinetry hardware, to thresholds to a first impression door knocker or house numbers.
