Hey, y’all, hey!!! Welcome to the One Room Challenge week 3 (technically weeks 2&3).
Week 2:
As you may have noticed, I didn’t get anything posted in week two. That my friends is because week two was a big ol’ BUST. NOTHING happened! Now, if you know me in real life, you may think I’m just being dramatic. ‘But let me tell you, friends, I AM NOT. Literally, NOTHING happened. So I’m just going to speed past week two and move into week three, mmmkay?!?
Week 3:
Here’s where it gets tricky. Ummmm, pretty much NOTHING happened again. Let me explain. A bit of ordering happened, which technically has happened every week. Here’s the list of items ordered:
New laminate wood floors
New Office Chair
Purchased a vintage buffet for extra storage
New book shelves and cabinets for built-ins
Paint sprayer
Painting tent (for protection of the furniture while spraying the paint on)
Art Work (I’ve only ordered one piece. I still need more)
Lighting (sconces for bookcases)
Soooo I guess I really was being dramatic by saying NOTHING happened in week two. The large items above were actually ordered in weeks one and two. However, ORC, we have a problem!
The laminate floors are in, but the flooring store did not call me to let me know. I had to call them, and because of that and their hours of operation, I have not been able to go pick them up as of yet. Which means they haven’t been installed.
This was a task I planned on taking on myself. Now I’m thinking about hiring it out. What are your thoughts?
The new office chair is in, but…….. I don’t think it’s going to work in the space (I secretly want to cry).
I have found a replacement chair, but it’s on backorder until late JULY! The ORC is over on June 25!!!! #HELP
The bookshelves and cabinets for the built-ins are not scheduled to be delivered until JUNE 10th!!!! That leaves me with less than 3 weeks to get them built, painted, in the office, and decorated.
Are y’all sweating yet??? I AM!!
On top of the growing list of things that are not going so well, I am still in need of a rug. The one that I REALLY want is out of stock with no restocking date in sight. So, yeah. This ORC seems to be going to hell in a hand basket. Nonetheless, I am resilient. I’ll pull through, this I know. I just hope you’re going to hang in here with me to see it all play out.
Who needs a soap opera when you have my One Room Challenge to follow!!??? Y’all say a little prayer for me, please!!!
