One Room Challenge™ Spring 2015, Week 2

Week 2 already? Oh boy... Well luckily I'm still feeling good for this round and have managed to get one big, major part of the makeover finished... the floors!Here's where we started - and yes, my dog makes an appearance way too many times because I swear he knows when I need to take a picture of something!carpet removalOnce it was all removed, we got started on laying the laminate floors - the same ones that we used in the master bedroom makeover, and will be used throughout the second floors of the house.Flooring halfway doneDespite all of the dust, I LOVE how the floor looks already! finished floors I also did something unexpected this week and completely changed the office's door. I had plans to replace all of the doors up stairs (some day) because ours are so old and just the plainest, most boring doors ever! Well, I happened to see this post on Remodelaholic and made a trip to Home Depot the very next day. Seriously. So the doors have gone from flat to panelled. Yes, you read doorS - I've officially started doing this to all upstairs doors because, well, why not dump more work on myself while going through a 6-week challenge?doorsComing up next week? Hopefully I'll get these closet doors made over. The plan is to re-cover them with fresh wallpaper (it used to be papered in a floral pattern. Whyyyyy?!?).finished floors, unfinished closet doorsI'm also hoping that maybe a bit of painting will get done, both on the walls and on the door. And because I think it's nice to have at least one pretty image in a blog post, I'm going to finish by showing you the inspiration image for the office, which includes some of the finishes and pieces that will eventually be in here!office Inspiration I can't wait to get more work done!Don't forget to check out what the 20 participants are up to for this week and check out what all of the other linking participants have done!See you next week, and if you want to see updates before then, follow me on Instagram!
