For Fall 2019's One Room Challenge, I'm completing our four-years-ignored bonus room! Currently this room is very lack luster, but check out my plans to make it into an all-ages fun and playful space.

I’m completing our four-years-ignored bonus room! Check out my plans for a bonus room makeover to make it an all-ages fun space.

The fall One Room Challenge is upon us! For those that don’t know, the One Room Challenge is a 6-week blogger challenge in which you work to complete one full room within the six weeks.

To gather maximum inspiration, check out all those participating (their are so many amazing rooms) right here.

Week 1 (The Plans) | Week 2 (The Budget) | Week 3 (The Closet) | 

Week 4 (The Reading Nook) | Week 5 (The Pillows) | Week 6 (The Final Reveal)

This season I will be making over our four-years-ignored bonus room.

We decided on this room because we are pretty sure we will be spending a lot more time in there with the new baby on the way (due April 4th)

*air-five!*

If you are new to my ORC makeovers, be sure to check out my One Room Challenge Living Room and One Room Challenge Office from prior seasons.

So we can all experience the transformation together, let’s take a look at the before photos…

The Plan

For Fall 2019's One Room Challenge, I'm completing our four-years-ignored bonus room! Currently this room is very lack luster, but check out my plans to make it into an all-ages fun and playful space.

The color scheme for this room is going to be a mix of colors with bluish-gray walls, oil-rubbed bronze fixtures, and a wood accent wall.

I am also planning to paint the inside of the open closet and the reading nook in a dark color.

ALL THE FEELS & FUNCTION

In my pursuing a homier home series, I shared my system for making a cohesive plan for your home as well as each room.

One of the steps is to decide what feels and functions are necessary for that particular space.

So, the plan for this room is to create a space that takes into account the following:

THE FUNCTION

  • Toy Storage
  • TV and Video Game Area
  • Reading Nook
  • Durable to Grubby, Messy Children
  • Danger-Free for Kids
  • Craft Storage Area
  • Mini-Fridge/Snack Station

THE FEELS

Currently, we use this room as a pseudo living room for guests.

We have a couch and cable television, but soon this room will also serve the purpose of housing toys and playtime.

Therefore, I want this room to feel fun and playful, but still feel appropriate for adult guests to utilize, too.

The goal here is to merge all of these feels into a warm, inviting space for all ages.

I’m new to the whole kid side of life, so hopefully these feels will come off in the final product. 

FLOOR PLAN

For Fall 2019's One Room Challenge, I'm completing our four-years-ignored bonus room! Currently this room is very lack luster, but check out my plans to make it into an all-ages fun and playful space.

Above is the layout of the room and my plan for where everything is going to go.

This is a very rough sketch, but it definitely helps visualize the full scope of what I plan to do.

As you can see, there are three main areas I’ll be focused on to make my feels and functions come to life.

Before I go, here is my list for the next six weeks on what I hope to accomplish before the big reveal on November 7th! Wish me luck!

        Thanks!! I found it on Amazon! I’m hoping it gives the jolt of color I am looking for in that room. Painting is next and then I get to dive into the fun stuff!
