The day has officially arrived! We are finished with our THIRD One Room Challenge! That’s crazy to think about! Before we started this challenge we went back and forth on whether we were going to tackle our outdoor space or the hallway. We are SO glad we went with our hallway, because it has done nothing but rain, rain, rain, and rain some more here. The weather wouldn’t have been ideal. I was also worried that our hallway would be too “boring” to transform. Now looking at these final photos, I feel so dumb ever using the word boring to describe our hallway.

Week four of the One Room Challenge Spring 2020 is officially here, and we checked a few things off our to-do list! For one we installed a new hand rail. Believe it or not we have lived without one for almost sic years now! Before we removed the load bearing wall in the hallway, we had a basement door with a chain and latch on it. That obviously made the basement seem so dark and scary…because it was. Anyways, there was a 2x2 makeshift hand rail there before that we removed once we started opening up the basement to the rest of the house.

We finished sanding the floors, and if you recall I had big plans to sand this entire hallway by hand with my hand sander. That my friends was a lofty goal that would’ve taken me light years to finish, and I wouldn’t be able to move my wrists ever again. Scot walked in while I was on all fours, observed how miserably, but still optimistic I was, and got in his truck to go rent the industrial sander from Home Depot.

Scot definitely saved the day.
