If you're new here or never heard about the One Room Challenge let
me explain to you what it is.
The One Room Challenge is not a challenge at all, but rather a celebration of creativity, inspiration, and original ideas through home improvement. Designers and DIYers, and home anthesis across the globe take on the "Challenge" of transforming a room or space to create something spectacular in 8 weeks. To learn more about the ORC click here.
For some back story, I have been wanting to participating in the ORC since 2019 but with Covid-19 flipping the world upside down. My husband Jeremy Calton, Co Founder and Head Carpenter at MLEE Home Décor and More, decided to wait until the time was right for us personally and professionally.
Fast forwarding to fall 2023, we purchased a 1968 Ranch Style home in the country on 7 acres with a waterfront view and a workshop for the business. A dream come true! However, the house is a Fixer Upper. Literally every room in this house has to go through the Laisea Calton Designs and #MLEE touch.
And the room we decided to tackle during the challenge is...………..
The boys bedroom!!!
The entire family and I could not be more excited to get started with this project. As we have been looking at these bare bones for far longer than we anticipated.
The Design Process |
I am following the same procedures as I do with my professional clients. Consequently, the first step involves having a consultation with the boys. This initial stage is crucial for me, not only to keep them informed about the project but also, to ensure that my broke besties (sons) and current clients feel included and at ease with the room design process.
However, they truly made an effort to embarrass me during that consultation and their request list has me wondering how I'm going to fit everything into this standard 12x12 room!
