Hello, hello!
Our house has been taken over by sickness the past couple of weeks, so, I skipped our week 4 One Room Challenge update last week.
Before I share the recent goings on feel free to catch up first:
Eclectic Farmhouse Foyer Plan | Week 1 Magnet Wall & Product Sources | Week 2 Paint | Week 3
I’ve been plugging along on stenciling the floor and we’ve hit the point where (because the room is so tiny) I can’t really share anything without showing the whole space.
I chose to start the stencil smack dab in the center of the floor, centered with the door and stairs. It looks amazing!
For some reason, on this bright day, the mustard yellow was photographing more like canary yellow. It most certainly isn’t that bright. I truly hope it photographs truer to color for the reveal.
This is what it really looks like:
We also sanded and stained the stair rail. The first coat took days to dry. We really have no clue why because I used a thin coat per the directions. We’re debating on an additional coat just because having a tacky rail for so long was such a humongous pain with the kiddos. We’re still waiting on the runner to arrive for the stairs. Looks like we’re going to be under the wire if it even arrives in time. 🙁
On a positive note, our mirror arrived AND the shelf brackets arrived. Yay!
I went through and pulled out some of the wall decor I’m thinking of using and hubby cranked out the shelf boards so now we just need to get everything hung.
So here’s where we stand on our to do list:
Paint door interior.
Stain stair railing.
Paint walls and trim.
Sand and paint tile patterned floor.
Install rug stair runner – hopefully!
Install inset feature wall.
Hang live edge wood shelf and mirror on wall beside stairs.
Decorate with art and accessories.
Swap out light fixture.
Final push time! The reveal happens next Thursday, November 10th!!

Hi Jessica,
The yellow family is my favorite color and am loving the stencil. I did Stencil in the spring challenge and it was a massive challenge.

Thanks so much. The mustard definitely warms up the space. I was worried the all white walls and trim with the metal wall would feel to cold and stark.
I love the colors you chose! I can’t wait to see this reveal.
Thank you Emy!
love these colors! i pretty much shared my whole space…. oh well! i just have a hard time sharing the little peeks.
I know! It’s impossible to really share anything without sharing everything! lol.
Love the yellow! I stenciled my tile about a year and a half ago and it was one of my favorite projects. Cant wait to see the whole space
Thanks!!!
Excellent stencil choice and good job. All your wall art looks quite handsome so can hardly wait for full reveal.
So sorry to hear your family have been ill. Hard to complete anything tending to sickness let alone completing any challenge jobs.When you are finally done be sure to reward yourselves for sticking with it. Am sure it will be awesome. Have good weekend, rest some..
Thank you JaneEllen. I have a nap planned for next Friday after reveal day on Thursday. 🙂
OMG I am in love with those floors, so unique, great job!

Thank you Maria! It was a gamble to go so bold in such a tight space but I’m glad we went with it. I think it really grounds the space and keeps it fun.
