One Room Challenge Favorites – Fall 2017

One Room Challenge reveals were last week and I swear this challenge just gets better and better! If you’re not familiar with the ORC, it’s a biannual event (currently in it’s 12th season!) that was started by Linda of Calling It Home.

Each round, twenty design bloggers take the challenge and transform a space. For six weeks, the designers document their process while sharing their sources and professional advice. It’s always so much fun to see these spaces come together!

And We’re Back!

Well hello there, stranger! It’s been too long!

702 Park Project hit some bumps in the road a few months back…let’s just say that if you are a blogger, make sure to set your domain to auto-renew and always check your spam folder!! Long story short, it took some sweat, tears, money, and a lot of frustration, but we’re finally back in business.

If you’re a regular around here, you’re probably noticing some things look a little wonky. We’re still working out all the kinks, but let me just say that it is such a relief to have access to this site again! Blogging has been one of the true joys of my life and I’m excited to get back into it.

So what’s the main difference? Well, the official link to the blog is now the702parkproject.com. (Just add “the” in front of the old site.) I’m still fixing links to old content, so if you try to click a link and it doesn’t work, just add that “the” to the front of the URL and you should get there. Hopefully I’ll have it all squared away soon.

You can expect a big life update post soon…I mean, it’s been 7 months since I’ve talked to y’all and I’ve got lots to share! But in the meantime, you can follow me on Instagram and Facebook for the latest.

Thanks for being here! I’m looking forward to picking up where we left off!! Stay tuned…

One Room Challenge – Stairs & Hall – The Next Steps

Well the One Room Challenge is over and we can all take a breather. But as any homeowner will tell you, the work is never done.

If you’re not familiar, the One Room Challenge is an event hosted by Linda at Calling It Home and House Beautiful where 20 designers make over a space from start to finish in just 6 short weeks. You can catch those designers each Wednesday, and the rest of us link up on Thursdays. I did my first Challenge last Spring and my second last Fall. And last week, I revealed my latest Challenge: our stairs and hallway!

One Room Challenge – Stairs & Hall – Week 4

Happy Thursday, friends! Are you ready for an update on the One Room Challenge?

The stairs and hall makeover is moving along, although I’m just a little behind after Hurricane Matthew. Unfortunately all of the electricians in the area are completely booked after the storm and flooding, and installing a new light socket and switch are not really on their priority list. So who knows if we’ll get to that. But the stairs are looking great!!
