My Favorite Reveals From the One Room Challenge {Spring 2015}

One of the best parts of the One Room Challenge™ is having a collection of 100+ room makeovers to drool over on reveal day. I encourage you to work your way through all of them over at Calling It Home, but since not everyone can dedicate enough time to see them all, I wanted to give you the CliffsNotes version of MY favorites! It’s too bad I had to sacrifice and look at all the pretties.

You can click on any of the images to go directly to the full post. If you are pinning any of the individual images, make sure you click through and pin from the original blog so each person gets the credit for their hard work, sweat, and tears!

You won't believe these room makeovers that were completed in under 5 weeks. I share my 9 favorite makeovers from the One Room Challenge™ - which is your favorite?

And just in case anyone missed it, here’s a link to my One Room Challenge Reveal from this round!  Our DIY work bench was put together with IKEA supplies to keep the price low. Using RAST dressers, LINNMON table tops, and KALLAX shelves let us customize the perfect space on a budget.

And my pantry from the last round.

    Just as I was finishing my ORC favorites post, I got your post in my email. We share a lot of favorites! I had your garage as one of my favorite spaces (and I had to give a shout-out to your pantry as well). Here’s the link if you want to see it: http://www.the-organized-life.com/one-room-challenge-my-favorite-spaces/
    Hope you enjoy your day Melissa!

    Holy cow, Melissa! Thank you SO much! This is just so darn sweet of you. I’m honored to claim one of your spots. And FYI, my husband now has “garage makeover” on the master list here…I told him as long as it doesn’t bump one of MY projects back in line, I’m good with that 😉

    Melissa! You are way too kind to include my dining room in your favorites. So honored! And can I still keep talking about your garage? Amazing. I am not joking you when I say I’m figuring out how to work that copper floor into my house somewhere. 🙂

    Great roundup, Melissa. I have gone back to quite a few of them for continued inspiration. I know I will never be lucky enough to have a pantry like yours. Thankfully, you showed the before on your garage. I have one of those :).
