Week 3 of our @OneRoomChallenge powder room project came and went, really as a blur! We had a lot of plans last weekend, and our current phase of the project is a boring one! But Mike basically completed the framing- just need to get the pocket door hardware and complete that portion. Progress pic of where we ended last weekend is below!

I panic ordered the wallpaper I had been leaning toward after Julia Marcum of Chris Loves Julia featured it in a mood board as part of her weekly love letter this week, and I got so nervous it would sell out. The lead time is also long, so it’s TBD if it will even make it in time for us to put it up before the challenge is over- we shall see! Of course, I then started second guessing myself after re-looking at the lights and mirror that I had laid out on the bed in our guest bedroom to get a feel for scale, and I really love how they look against a more neutral block print! But I think I will use a pattern like that somewhere else (maybe our other main floor bathroom eventually, or maybe the laundry room?!). I’m comfortable with this little bath packing a bit more of a punch! I was concerned that the lights were too large and/or mirror was too small, but think I am ok with the scale after sitting with it for a few days.

Next week’s post (in a few days at this point, because I’m running behind this week!) I will try to go back to week 1 and see where we are at vs. where we said we would be at this point. Mike is working on the electrical and making great project. All of our plans this weekend were cancelled due to rain today and friends of ours being sick, so we are hoping to get a lot done as the silver lining. Will post some progress clips on my Instagram stories!

We’ve made a lot of progress on the bathroom project! Demo is complete, I have the tile, vanity, light fixtures, and mirror. The only things that leaves us to buy are a new toilet, a towel bar or hook of some sort, the pocket door hardware and new door, and probably a bunch of other odds and ends I’m forgetting (like a faucet! see. forgetting so much). I still am not 100% decided on paint and wallpaper, but I’m *almost* ready to finalize that part of the design. Subject to change at a moment’s notice, I give you…the powder room MoOd BoArd. I’ve been mocking up combinations on canva for awhile, and I really like how everything is coming together!

We made a lot of progress on finalizing and thinking through the framing, plumbing and electrical plan. We had general plan, but it really helps (at least for me) to be able to think through and finalize while the space is open. I shared some highlights on my Instagram stories, including us realizing we needed to have our pocket door slide in the opposite direction that we had initially planned.

We are hoping to complete the framing and electrical this weekend. It’s generally a mess in the space right now- I spent some time throughout the week trying to clear out the area so it’s easier to work in, but still be able to use the mud space for coats shoes jackets, etc. It’s better than it was, but still a disaster. Cringe worthy in-process photo below! It always gets worse before it gets better, right?
