One Room Challenge: Week 5 | Slow but Steady Progress

Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | The Reveal

It’s already week 5 and things have been slow but there is still progress! Here are the tiny wins for this week:

  1. Finalized the crown molding – it’s a simple flat shaker-style:

2. Installed new cabinets / shelves underneath the soon to be butcher block. Now the decisions will be – should I stain or paint? And if so, what color? Should I do something with the shelves?

Paint black, white, stain, tile?

Did you notice the cute brass leg caps at the bottom?

3. Now that the island cabinets are in, I finally removed the hanging blue painters tape from the pendant lights to prevent tall folk from banging their heads. Does this really happen? YES, it happened multiple times before we put the tape up. Reminder of the space before:

if you’re 6 ft+ tall you will bump your head into these pendants guaranteed
no blue tape

4. The space in the island for stools was shortened by 33 inches! Due to a clerical error 🙁 I will explain later). But I can still fit my 4 counter stools without them looking cramped – win! 🙂

Ok – now for realz next week, we will get the countertops installed! I promise!
