Global Chic Guest Bathroom - FINAL REVEAL

I’m SUPER EXCITED to share the FINAL REVEAL of my Global Chic Guest Bathroom for the One Room Challenge! All the other Guest Participants and Featured Designers have been showing off their beautiful room transformations for the last few days over at oneroomchallenge.com and now it’s my turn! It has been a looooong 6 weeks and there were many design obstacles and health issues to overcome but it was all worth it. I absolutely love how my room turned out and it is even better than I had imagined. The positive responses from family and friends has let me know that guests will enjoy the ambiance just as much as I do. Soon I will have a couple DIY tutorials about the projects I worked on such as the planter box wood beams, stencil painted tile and succulent vertical wall planter. I tried my best to take lots of different photos to show all the details. Product Sources are available at the bottom of this post.

Here is the FINAL REVEAL...

Global Chic Guest Bathroom - ORC Week 5

This is Week 5 of the One Room Challenge which means all my projects need to be finished up ASAP and photos will need to be taken in the next few days for the FINAL REVEAL this coming weekend!!! I’m sure there are many other Guest Participants and Featured Designers that got their rooms done already and are just relaxing by now but I’m not one of them. During the last few weeks, I have had to get a filling and crown for one tooth, then a filling in a second tooth but then the dentist realized it needed a root canal instead so they drilled through the new filling then had to do the filling again and put a crown on that tooth as well. Then last week I started not feeling very well so I couldn’t work on anything for about 5 days which was the worst timing ever because of how much I still needed to get done for the ORC. But I am moving around more now and trying my best to show a room that looks finished. Everything should get done except possibly the penny tile that was supposed to go above the shower but it really isn’t necessary right now anyways. My last BIG project I’m starting tomorrow is painting the stenciled ceramic tile flooring. Sometimes you can’t do everything you planned and changes have to be made. So I’m trying to stay positive and continue to make the room better than it was before!

Global Chic Guest Bathroom - ORC Week 4

The last four weeks of the One Room Challenge have just flown by! There are only 2 weeks left to go before everyone’s BIG room reveals! I’ve really been enjoying visiting the other guest participants and featured designers blogs and social media to see their work in progress. This week I traveled back and forth to The Home Depot FIVE times for paint! It all started with the first gray wall color which was too light then the second gray color was a little darker but I didn’t like the way it looked next to the wallpaper so then I chose a totally different wall color... PEACH. 🍑 That choice kinda came out of nowhere but the room seems much warmer and cozier. So because of the wall color change, I decided to switch out the shower curtain for a different one that included more colors in it to break up all the peach/orange hues going on.

Then I came across a huge issue with the “Vintage Coral” cabinet paint I had planned on using. Turns out that not every Behr color formula is compatible with the Behr Alkyd Enamel paint. Who knew? 🤷🏼‍♀️ The employee tried to color match the swatch but when I applied it to the cabinets, it looked way more like a pinkish coral instead of orangey coral like it appears on the swatch. So I decided to go one paint swatch shade darker and try out “Aloe Blossom” but now it looks 👀 BRIGHT orange! I’m kinda at a stand still because I feel bad 😔 about continuously changing the paint color but I’m still not satisfied. I haven’t decided what to do yet and I’m getting really frustrated. I’m starting to think that the skylight is pouring tons of natural light in the room and all the colors appear way more intense. Or I’ve just lost my magical ability to pick the perfect paint colors. 😭 🎨

If all that wasn’t enough to think about, I am also second guessing the light fixture and considering one with a more simple modern style. This weeks progress has kinda been like a yo-yo... forwards then backwards, then forwards again then backwards again. I’m running out of time and I need a designer fairy to come wave her magic wand. 🧚🏻‍♀️✨

Work in progress UPDATE...
✔️ Painted Walls again and again
✔️ Paint Cabinets again
✔️ Started Painting Artwork
✔️ Purchased Different Shower Curtain
✔️ Installed Wallpaper
✔️ Cut Butcher Block Countertop
✔️ Inserted Sinks
✔️ Installed Faucets
✔️ Purchased Different Light Fixture

Global Chic Guest Bathroom - ORC Week 3

It is Week 3 of the One Room Challenge which means the Guest Participants and Featured Designers are all officially at the halfway point! Not really sure if I’m excited or terrified? I must confess I thought I would be much further along with my Global Chic Guest Bathroom makeover but progress has been moving very slowly. I’m hoping this week I can catch up on everything super fast and surprise everyone including myself. Lol. Unfortunately I did not have time to install the shower tile yet because my hubby, the tile cutter, was busy this weekend at Volleyball games. I also was busy decorating my exterior for Halloween because my kiddos were disappointed that our porch had “cute” decorations instead of “spooky”. I guess they are just getting older and like different things now. ☹️ I also had to add to project list because when we took the large mirror Dow there was ugly khaki paint behind it and of course when I checked my old paint can, there wasn’t enough paint and it was unusable. So then I had to make time to re-paint all the walls as well.
