Whew!  We're already at the half way mark for the One Room Challenge!  This week has been FULL of progress, so be prepared for lots of pictures in this post!  

We started with a nice blank slate...

The plumber was on site running lines for the tub and reconfiguring the shower for the new fixture.

The shower framing is finished too!  Instead of a traditional niche, I wanted to have a ledge running the length of the shower.  I have lots of products and wanted plenty of room to spread them out.  All the cement board was installed and the new shower floor poured; we're going curb-less.

I've been busy working on the design details.  My wallpaper arrived this week and I'm trying to decide on paint colors for the two vanities.  The fabulous Schumacher wallpaper is going behind my vanity, and I don't want to compete with it.  I love green, so my thought was to match the background of the wallpaper, but go deeper on the color, so the cabinet just blends in and lets the paper really be the statement it's meant to be. 

The colors in this wallpaper are SO saturated, the pictures don't do it justice.  I can't wait to see it on the wall!

Now that the dirty stuff is out of the way, it's time to get into the decorative elements.  This next week I expect the tile to be installed, the lights to go up, and faucets and fixtures to go in.  Then we can get onto painting, wallpaper, and finishing touches.  There's a lot to do in the next two weeks to be ready for photos, so fingers crossed all goes as planned!

Check out the other guest participants and see all the different room types being transformed.  We can all use the support to get us through the second half!

It's officially week two of the ORC and things are in full swing on my master bathroom renovation.  Demo is complete and I honestly can't believe how large the space is starting to feel.  The closet was ripped out first, then the hardwood floors were cut back to the new wall location.

It was so satisfying to see that shower coming down!  

I wasn't joking when I said it would get ugly before it gets better.  Now that everything is ripped out and we have a blank slate, I'm dying to rebuild and work on the pretty stuff!  Speaking of pretty stuff...  These arrived this week too!!!

Take a look at the room now, totally empty and ready to be put back together...

This week, it's plumbing and electrical changes and getting ready to start prepping for tile!  I'll be sharing updates along the way on Instagram, so tune in!  Don't forget to check out the other guest participants and featured designers and show your support!
