The One Room Challenge DIY Art Projects
I finished the One Room Challenge (ORC) two weeks ago, but did not finish some of my DIY Art Projects by the deadline. If you haven’t been following along, I chose to make over my primary bedroom and the challenge was to pick a room and over the course of eight weeks, post your weekly progress with a final reveal in Week 8. Everyone participating in the challenge is on the ORC website. At the end of this post, I’ll link all 8 weeks of posts so you can see the progression and the before and after pictures.

17 Items That Are Giving Me Life Right Now
I call things that “Give Me Life” items that make me stop in my tracks, catch the vapors and make my heart skip a beat. Most of these are aspirational but also give me inspiration. I might actually turn this into a series because I have a whole Pinterest board called “Giving Me Life”. Some require you to sell a kidney to afford it, but it’s not about wanting to buy them although some are really affordable.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
