Kitchen Renovation “One Room Challenge” (Week 1)

Welcome to the Fall 2017 edition of the “One Room Challenge”! Currently in its 12th season, the One Room Challenge™ is a widely anticipated biannual event every April and October. Each round, twenty design bloggers take the challenge and transform a space. Every Wednesday, the designers document their process while sharing their sources and professional advice over six weekly posts. This spectacular event is hosted by the lovely Linda at “Calling it Home” HERE.

Last year, I participated in the “One Room Challenge” as a guest participant, and showcased our master bedroom remodel, read about that HERE. Since then, we have moved to another home. In our new home, I have already taken on several renovations and projects, many of which are highlighted on my blog.

This season, I am once again a guest participant in the “One Room Challenge”. I will post updates to my renovation project every Thursday for 6 weeks and post the final reveal on Week 6. I have decided to take on our kitchen as my renovation project for this event. I have struggled with this space since we moved in, and it is going to be a big challenge for me. So stay tuned!

Here are a few before pictures of the kitchen space that I will be transforming.

As you can see the space is enormous, making it even more challenging.

My design inspiration for the kitchen is to create a white and bright space like the photo below. I’ve got my work cut out for me, don’t you think?


Isn’t it beautiful?


In the above photo, I really like the blue island with the travertine floors. My plan is to paint one of the islands a pale blue.

Check back next week on my progress…I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment. I’m going to need your support to get through this successfully…as I will be doing a lot of the work myself…(and pulling my husband in as well…but he doesn’t know that yet ;))
