Hey design tribe! Guess who's diving headfirst into the One Room Challenge again?
Yep, yours truly! 🥳
With spring dancing around the corner, I couldn't resist the siren call to embark on another home makeover ADVENTURE. 🎮
But let's be real, squeezing in time for personal projects amid my consulting hustle is like trying to fit a sofa through a narrow doorway – challenging, but totally worth it.✨
This time, I set my sights on the kitchen, the heart of the home that's been patiently waiting for a professional GLOW-UP 🌟
Juggling coaching sessions with interior design pals, where I dish out branding wisdom and cook up web makeovers, leaves me creatively BURNT OUT when it comes to my own space.😬
Now, let me spill the tea on this fantastic group of five women I'm currently coaching. We've got this sweet group chat going on, a digital haven where we spill homework woes, swap stories, and I play the role of the ultimate CHEERLEADER.
It's like a virtual girls' night 👯♀️ every time we connect, full of encouragement and positive vibes.
So, back to my kitchen saga. I needed fresh ideas, a burst of creativity. Enter the group brainstorm – a virtual powwow with my fellow design enthusiasts. 🔥
We huddled together, virtually of course, and it was like a design therapy session. The energy was infectious, and I could practically feel the creativity sparks flying.⚡️
Quick pitstop for the deets:
I'm a renter, but lucky for me, my landlord is cool with UPGRADES. On my wishlist? Elevating those drab faux granite countertops with a splash of paint or some SNAZZY laminate cover. 🖌
And don't even get me started on the floor – eyeing those cute peel-and-stick floor decals from Amazon or Etsy to inject some PERSONALITY.🌈
Now, those lower cabinets were stuck in an '80s orange nightmare. I painted them gray, slapped on some hardware, but it's all a bit too vanilla for my taste.
So, I'm thinking, why not go BOLD? Maybe a dramatic purple for the lower cabinets and a clean, crisp white for the upper ones. 🤔
My house is practically Peewee's Playhouse – it's gonna be epic.
Lighting is next on the hit list.
Picture this: graphic black and white wallpaper, a funky runner – it's like setting the stage for a design show, and I'm the STAR. ⭐️
Shelves and accessories are due for some TLC, and those vertical window blinds?
Thinking of spicing them up with a DIY project involving a big poster sliced into strips. Funky, right?🎉
Now, the Everest of my challenge – STORAGE 🤘
The landlord axed the upper cabinets for that open-concept feel, leaving me scratching my head for storage solutions. But wait, there's hope – an alcove with untapped potential. Above the fridge and around the sink? 💡
That's where I'm drawing a blank, my friends.💭
Picture this chaotic scene: a giant microwave, a long toaster, and an oversized TV, because why not watch TV while cooking, right?
It's time to clean house and make things chic yet functional. Above the fridge and around the sink, the space screams for some creativity. Maybe storage and chic decor? The possibilities are endless.
Feeling like my kitchen is a cluttered maze, I've got this burning desire to SIMPLIFY without losing that bold, fun vibe. Let's talk color palette – fewer colors, less chaos.
Bye-bye to pictures on the fridge, farewell to the ivy. 👋
I'm eyeing stripes as a QUIRKY alternative to bring in some fun.
The EXCITEMENT is real, folks! I'm pumped to share every twist and turn of this galley kitchen makeover with my fellow design enthusiasts. 🚨
Stay tuned for the jaw-dropping, color-infused spectacle that's about to unfold in my kitchen – it's gonna be a wild ride! 🌈✨
So Stay tuned, folks – it's gonna be epic! 🚀✨
