Solo trip to IKEA for my master closet makeover was everything I hoped it would be and more.

Just to recap, week 1 I selected my master closet for the One Room Challenge makeover.

I knew that this was a temporary fix, but nothing has changed since I did this part a year ago.

Moving all the clothes to one side gave me a chance to display important notes.

I had plenty of floor space and could finally see everything.

Week 2 I introduced you to my Wayfair Rug that was the color inspiration and the IKEA Rast dressers that warranted a trip to IKEA.

Look at the beautiful rug I scored from Wayfair!!

The very next day at 6:30am, I did the 3 hour drive north to the mothership, IKEA. It was a SUPER risky move considering the remnants of Hurricane Michael had just swept through knocking out power in the area. Needless to say, IKEA was empty and I had nothing but time and a list on my side. I may need to schedule more solo trips to IKEA.

On a side note, IKEA made its transition to decorating for the holiday and winter trends. Dark navy, burgundy, deep jade, and classic plaid are strategically styled throughout. There are touches of faux fur, brushed brass, and dark leather.  Giving a nod to the masculine customers who are probably being dragged through the store. If you’re looking for trends for the holiday and winter months, now is the time to start looking.

Brass lighting is a great way to warm up your room!

Armed with my two Rast dressers and a couple impulse buys, I did the return 3 hour trek home. Some call it crazy, I call it a field trip. Complete with carpool karaoke and the discovery that not all Chick Fil A’s have the good ice.

Time for my favorite part: DEMO DAY!!!

I always feel like that scene from “Office Space” when I get to take out the darn wire racks. Then of course there was TONS of patching all the holes the wire racks left, but it’s amazing to see the blank canvas.


Moving forward with the closet design meant I would need to build the Rast dressers, and boy I am glad I did. I totally had to scrap my original plan and go back to the drawing board.  My vision for the master closet makeover is for it to have a feel and a mood. I know that it may sound crazy because it’s a closet, but I felt like it can be so much more.

Then it clicked.

A shift of everything and I am in LOVE! I modified the Rast dresser when I built them and have further modifications in mind. I built a platform to raise the dressers which will allow for shoe storage. I’m also adding a counter for items like my jewelry, perfume and other pretties.

Wood strips are secured tot he wall that would allow for a wood platform.
I told myself not to put it together and yet here we are.

DIY tip: nail guns are your friend.

Before I secure anything in the wall, I need to see what it was going to look like before I add anymore holes. By using my nail gun I temporarily secured the supports for the bottom shelf. This temporary hold acts like a second set of hands when I’m working by myself.

Now that I finally have the design settled, it’s time to paint, stain and install the rest of the shelving. Also, the light from IKEA was not going to cut it, there’s a reason it was so much cheaper than the one I saw from Home Depot. I’m on the hunt for a statement light that’s inexpensive.

Sometimes I need to just sit in a space and just “be”.

Can’t wait to show you the progress next week!

XOXO,

From early in my relationship with Courtney, we lo From early in my relationship with Courtney, we loved going to open houses and parade of homes. Anything to get ideas and inspiration on what we wanted in our own home. Believe it or not, we’ve moved 10 times. Of those 4 were homes we bought and one of them a home we built. Needless to say when we saw the online photos of our “hopeful” future home plan, we agreed we had at least one more move in us.  What’s something you’re looking for in your next home?

I needed to take a long break after last week to p I needed to take a long break after last week to process all that’s going on. I’m still processing. One of my favorite things to do is take long walks through construction sites surrounded by plumbing and framing.  No lie. This is where we’ve gone multiple evenings over the last couple of weeks. This place has brought us a lot of peace and on the blog I’m spilling the beans on our secret.

The tragic helicopter accident that took Kobe, his daughter, and their friends rocked me in a way I didn’t know it would.  It was clear that y’all loved the bedroom renovations this year and our @wearewoodgrain accent wall was a huge crowd favorite. Kennedy’s diamond pattern wall is one of my most pinned on Pinterest to this day. I’m deep in planning mode for this year and can’t wait to bring more fun content. Hope that everyone had a great night and an even better weekend!!
Walking out of this year with a whole new perspect Walking out of this year with a whole new perspective. While this year was filled with so much uncertainty, I was still able to find some light and a more clear vision. (I’ve always said the best lessons come in the valleys of life.) I’ve spent the last few weeks with Court and the girls and I’ve come to some realizations that will change the vision I thought I had for the future. I thank you for being on this journey.  I’m blown away by the people I’ve met online and in person from this community.  The opportunities I’ve been blessed to experience.  I pray that everyone has a safe night and we all wake up tomorrow with hope that the new year will bring more peace.
