Today is my favorite day of the One Room Challenge

OK. I’m impressed. Let me tell you why.

There is this blogger, lets call her Linda (because that’s her real name), and she has this blog named Calling it Home. And she has this contest called the One Room Challenge. Its where 20 or so design and DIY bloggers have 6 weeks to transform a room.

Sounds easy, right?

I learned about this little challenge during week 2. Every 7 days the house bloggers need to provide an update as to how the project is progressing. So, in addition to demolition, painting, DIY-ing, and decorating, they have to blog about it. And most of them also put it up on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest.

That’s pretty much 2 jobs. And most of these folks have a regular day job too.

Scroll down to see the final reveal photo from each of the bloggers. I’ve linked to their websites so you can also see the before and during pics, too. Most of them even link to all their sources so if you love the look, you can learn where they got it.

French Country Dining Room

Coco & Jack – Every. Single. Angle. of this living room is Instagram worthy! I want this space!
