One Room Challenge : Week 1
Week 1
Thanks for kicking off week one of the One Room Challenge (ORC) with us! We approaching our blog posts in a different way. We have some pictures for you to look at, plus the House of Brinson vlog! It’s like one long Instagram Story, except we aren’t cut off after a minute. This week is a long one β we have a lot to share. One thing I love about video is that you can get a better sense of the space of the room.
Below each vlog, I’ll link to companies or resources we mention in the vlog (see Link Love below). If the product is sponsored or provided for the ORC, I’ll make a note of it next to the link.
Don’t Forget
Below Link Love there’s the list of 19 other One Room Challenge participants. That means 19 rooms that will get a make over. Follow everyone and check in each week! Everyone will post on Wednesday with the latest update, and the big reveal in 6 weeks.

I watched your whole video and loved every minute of it…that fringe!!!!!!!
Your house is incredible and I weirdly like the old walls in that bedroom with the ripped paper lol…having said that, the FB colours you chose are completely divine and I can’t WAIT to watch you transform the space…seriously in love already!!!
Thanks so much! I can’t wait to paint – for a room like this – it’s gonna be a big transformation. π
what a fantastic space to work with! can’t wait to see it finished!
Thanks!
I love your starting point – the room has so much character already! But then you showed the paint, and your plans for the window coverings – it’s going to be SO good. Can’t wait to see it transform!
Thanks Jen! Seeing it painted is going to be a huge transformation. π
You guys are adorable and awesome. Loved the video and can’t wait to see how this space comes together!
Thank you Emma!
Oh man, I am going to love following your project. I just found your blog and your style is like a breath of fresh air. For years I have thought of my Grandmothers simple sheer curtains and what do you know, you have them and a tutorial, to boot. Good luck!
Welcome Margaret! I’m going to make similar sheers in this room too but fancy them up with some fringe! Thanks for commenting.
The bones of that room are incredible! I cannot wait to see how much changes with paint on the walls!
Paint is going to be transformative! I can’t wait to crack a can open.
what an amazing space. you are so genuine and real and full of inspiration in your video. never been on your site. i’m so excited, i plan to keep coming back. thank you so much.
Thank you for stopping by! We’ll do a video each week and share our updates. π
Best of luck! What you are doing with this vintage home is wonderful. Can’t wait to see the end product!
Thank you Danielle!
So much potential and charm here!! I can not wait to see what you guys end up doing:)
Thank you Joanna!
What a great video! I don’t think I have ever had trim envy like I do now. I want all of it. Love your selection, and I can’t wait to see those drapes come to life. I also liked hearing about your plaster walls. It brings back memories of our first home. Real character.
Thank YOU for the opportunity! This is so much fun – we just love the community participating in the challenge.
Your house is amazing! I usually don’t fall in love with before pics but in this case I did. I can only imagine what you will do. I think Anthropolgie might want to shoot some ads in this room.
Thanks Andrea! Wait until you see the after pics. π

Thanks! World of Interiors is SO good – I’m surprised to find a group of underground readers in the US! Your products are beautiful, but we can only work with sponsors that are official. If you contact Linda from Calling It Home, she can provide more information. π
