It’s that time of year again…ONE ROOM CHALLENGE season. My fall decorating is getting put on hold for a bathroom makeover. I’m tacking my primary suite bathroom and I can’t wait to make a few updates!
If you’d like to see some of my previous ORC rooms, you can find them here:
Backyard | Guest Bedroom | Kitchen | Primary Bedroom
Let me take you down memory lane for a hot minute. I don’t have a picture of what this space looked like when we moved in, but here’s what it looked like right after we moved in…


Then a few years later I made a few more updates…


Now it’s time to finally replace the vanity and do a few more things to make it more visually appealing.
According to Money Magazine, home improvements have doubled in the past year and a half (we all know why!). Of all the renovations happening right now, “30% (are) bathroom upgrades, making it the most popular project other than simply repainting walls.”
Well, I’m falling firmly into that ↑ percentage.
My husband and I aren’t planning to sell our home in the near future, but we are thinking ahead. The plan right now is to move after both of our kids graduate in 5 years…so it’s sooner than later. (Time is FLYING right now!)
So here’s what I’m thinking for this space:

To-Do List
- Replace vanity, faucets, and toilet
- Paint ALL the things (walls, ceiling, millwork, and door)
- Purchase new mirrors, rug, and arwork
- DIY lighting
- Update the bathtub area (another DIY project that ,hopefully, works…fingers crossed!)
- Ceiling Treatment
- Build storage
- Sew curtains (for shower and window)
This list is LONG and a lot of these items aren’t things that I can just pick up at the store and install. For the next 8 weeks, I’ll be working my way through these smaller projects and I’ll be sharing my progress as I go.
I hope you’ll follow along! Also, be sure to check all the other amazing projects happening for the One Room Challenge: HERE.
