The One Room Challenge: Spring 2017 has commenced! If you haven’t obsessed over all the bloggers who have participated in the past, here’s the quick recap: Over six weeks, 20 sponsored bloggers redecorate an entire room and post each week on their progress, design inspiration, and setbacks.
We’ll be doing our own one room challenge over here as I attempt to freshen up my deck. The deck currently is a little cute, a little awkward, and a little bit storage all depending on where you look. On it’s VERY BEST day it can look like this:
But, turn around and it looks like this:
See that awkward area and blank wall? And what’s going on with those spare boards? Since it’s so rare to get so much outdoor space as a renter in the LA area, I feel like I really need to take advantage of every square inch.
The current layout lacks a few main things:
- Seating: We can currently only fit whoever squishes on the picnic table. That’s usually four-to-six people.
- Activities: While we are usually up there to BBQ, there is currently no games or entertainment while you are waiting for the goods.
- Personality and color: While there a few pieces that show some style it is mainly a tan-ish rectangle without much charm.
Thankfully the string lights and awning—the hardest parts!—went up last summer so I won’t need to add those. Wish me luck and check back each Thursday for the next few weeks to see updates!
