One Room Challenge - Week 1: THE KITCHEN RESURFACE
I have been following along with the One Room Challenge for years and this year I decided to be a participant! If you’re not familiar with the ORC, it’s an eight-week challenge to transform an entire space. The fun part is that you have a community of other DIYers doing it with you! The added bonus is that there is a deadline, which is a good way to keep me on track!
When I decided to enter the challenge I knew exactly what room I was going to tackle…THE KITCHEN!!
From the first time I laid eyes on the kitchen I knew it needed a facelift. The cabinets are beautiful custom cabinetry however, they’re 28 years old and need a bit of love! AND don’t even get me started on the floral tile backsplash above the stove. Ohhh man, I’m sure it was the thing in 1993, but I dream of the day I rip it off the wall!
THE BEFORE
THE VISION
I am drooling just dreaming of this!! I have dreamed of deep green cabinets for years and years and it’s time to bring it to life! This project is not a renovation, but it’s not just a re-fresh - I am calling it a re-surface.
THE PLAN
Chance and I will be:
Painting the cabinets
Replacing light fixtures
Adding new hardware
Tiling the backspash
Removing a cabinet section
Adding a runner and artwork
Making the inside of the cabinets more functional
I am so excited to be apart of the One Room Challenge and I can hardly wait for the deadline because we will be living in our new kitchen!
Follow along to watch this project unfold!
