You may or may not have heard of the One Room Challenge which is a twice a year event. Calling it Home hosts this event and chooses 20 blogs to participate. Other blogs are free to participate as guest participants and will link up their projects alongside these 20 blogs. This is a 6-week challenge to transform a room from start to finish. Each week, on Thursday, I will post updating progress until the BIG final reveal on the last week.
If you are new to my blog, welcome! I’ve been blogging here for around 18 months. My Life From Home is a lifestyle blog dedicated to affordable fashion, home decor, DIY, crafts, and recipes. It is my goal to help you live life to the fullest at home! I’m so glad you stopped by!
This will be my first time participating as a guest participant. I am super excited to be a part of such a fun event! I think the challenge to get it done in 6 weeks will be good motivation to kick it into high gear!
I have decided to do my son’s bedroom for the ORC. He has recently moved from a toddler bed to a big boy bed and his bedroom is stuck in that weird time between baby and big kid. I am looking to move his room towards a design plan which will suit him into his teen years.
Here is the room in the Before state.
Yikes. Embarrassing.
My theme for the room is going to be Modern Vintage Sports. He has several decor pieces we purchased when he was a baby that we will keep. Everything else will go!!
Here is the Design Plan that I’m looking at.
To life feeling like home!

If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.

I love the theme! Can’t wait to see it all come together 🙂

I’m excited to see the industrial shelves come in to help organize all those toys! Is it bad that I’m already dreading having toys scattered throughout my house? Good luck with the challenge 🙂

Thank you Nicole! Toys are a headache, ugh.
April 7th, 2016 at 12:34 pm
Can’t wait to see it come together!

Oh my goodness, Amy! Your design plan is absolutely adorable! I love the vintage vibe. Your little man is one lucky dude! Can’t wait to follow along!

Oh, how exciting! I love theme and the pieces you have chosen.
April 7th, 2016 at 3:48 pm
Love the theme! Your design plan is adorable but will grow with him well. I used those same shelves to redo my husband’s office for the ORC challenge.
April 7th, 2016 at 4:04 pm
Thank you Rachel! I am excited about the plan, but nervous I won’t get it all done! :). I’ll need to check out your hubby’s office.

Love your inspiration and design, especially that bed frame. Can’t wait to see the final room.

Thank you Kim! Yikes! It’s got me kind of nervous since this is my first time! 🙂

What a great project……I can’t wait to see your progress each week.

Thanks BonBon! I hope I can pull it off! 🙂

I love your inspiration photos. Can’t wait to follow the progress!

Love the decor that you chosen for the bedroom, very classy! the mood board makes the difference in helping you get it all together. Great Job. I am doing my first OCR, its so much fun and a bit crazy at times.

Thank you, Maria! Good luck to you also! 🙂

Thanks Iris! I hope I can pull it off! 🙂
April 10th, 2016 at 4:43 pm
Amy, this is too cool! I’m doing a vintage sports theme in my ORC husbands office room! Can’t wait to follow along, and I’m guessing this is where your cool new clock is going to go?!?
April 11th, 2016 at 7:22 am
Yes, April. You will see the clock! 🙂 I can’t wait to see what you do. I haven’t made it all the way around yet. I’m sure yours will be amazing!
April 10th, 2016 at 10:55 pm
Amy, your plans for your son’s room sound fantastic. I love how you’re designing it to meet his needs now, but to also work and grow with him into his teen years. Smart thinking! I look forward to seeing how his space turns out.
April 11th, 2016 at 7:21 am
Thank you Carrie! I hope it turns out as good as the inspiration board! 🙂
April 11th, 2016 at 12:21 am
What a great project… Love the theme, especially that bed frame.
April 11th, 2016 at 7:20 am
Thank you Merryjo! I hope you’ll follow along. 🙂
April 11th, 2016 at 12:29 pm
Love the inspiration pics and it’s so fun that you are doing a boys bedroom too!!! Can’t wait to follow along Amy!
April 13th, 2016 at 10:58 am
I’m doing my boy’s bedroom too… only a strict football theme. Just like you, I’m hoping it’ll last into his teen years. I LOVE your ideas for the space. If I had it my way, we’d do vintage baseball, but that’s just not Isaac’s “thing”. Good luck! Can’t wait to see how the room turns out!
April 13th, 2016 at 11:14 am
Thank you Erin! I think I’ll be glad when it’s done!

Great post! Thanks for sharing. Anyways, if you ever damage your wall or ceiling, a repair is essential to resolve the problem instantly so the damage won’t get worse.
