One Room Challenge Favorites

Have you followed along with the Spring One Room Challenge? For those who are new to this process, designers and bloggers transform a space soup to nuts in six weeks while documenting their progress. All of the participants have been revealing their final rooms this week, and we are here.for.it.  

We’ve culled a few of our favorite transformations, and almost all of them are kitchens and baths. What can we say? We’re suckers for a great before and after; especially one done within a rapid-fire timeline. Plus, anyone that can renovate a kitchen or bathroom in six weeks and manage to stay sane deserves a standing ovation. Hats off to you, friends!

Modern Country Kitchen

 

We didn’t think it was possible to love a refrigerator this much; or a dishwasher for that matter. Actually, let’s throw everything from Big Chill into the love mix. House of Jade Interiors set out to craft a modern country kitchen with showstopping appliances that give a little French flair. Take the full tour.

Bathroom Tiled to Perfection

 

Aptly named the Ranchalow, this bathroom crafted by Casework is the perfect blend of ranch and craftsman with a barely-there beige tile, geometric green floor tile and all done in 32 days. Take the full tour.

Small But Mighty Kitchen

 

A kitchen that pairs lucite with a dark green french stove is a great one in our book. Murphey Deesign was going for “a mix of a warm, family-friendly, European classic… with a few boho, modern twists.” Nailed it. Take the full tour.

Shed Turned Modern Rustic Office

Green + white Colorblock Bathroom

 

Color blocking with tile…yes! This half-bath was totally overhauled into a modern minimalism oasis using full wall tile in green and white color blocks. It’s safe to say we’re obsessed. Take the full tour.

Elegant + Timeless Master Bathroom

 

This master bathroom might be the most dramatic transformation of the bunch. Where the before was dated and dark with peach tile to boot, Sincerely Marie Designs created the most elegant dream bathroom. Take the full tour.
