If you’re not familiar with the One Room Challenge, it’s a fun challenge hosted by Calling it Home, and many bloggers and designers participate. We each have 6 weeks to make over a space in our home, and we will be sharing our progress each week as we go along.
And here it is cleared out. (Don’t mind the random cot and the dust everywhere.) Also, I realize these photos are horrible, but the space is currently horrible so I didn’t try too hard to capture good shots.
The room is very small, but there is a sink and counter already in the space. We will be replacing the sink and faucet, painting the cabinet, possibly tiling the wall behind the sink, replacing the light, painting the walls, adding shelving, a rug, decor, swapping out hardware, and more.
Here’s a very basic moodboard with some of the general elements we are hoping to incorporate.
Stay tuned! I’ll be sharing sources as I go along too.
Tell me, what would your coffee bar “must haves” be?
I lived in an apartment with a space like this once…they called it a “baker’s pantry”…we called it “storage.” LOL. Can’t wait to see the transformation!
Haha! Ours has always been storage too, as you can see. LOL It was very scary until now. Thanks for stopping by!
Erin – your creativity always amazes us. We can’t wait to follow along to see what you create! Love your style board!
Ah!!! LOVE it!! Can you share faucet source? I’m doing my laundry room and that’s exactly what I’m looking for!
Thank you! It’s the Delta Trinsic bar faucet in Champagne Bronze.
What a fun space to take on for this challenge! Love your inspiration – can’t wait to see how it turns out!
This is going to be super funky! Can’t wait to see it.
Yay! I’m doing a coffee bar/station too… only I actually do drink coffee. I had to laugh… in your first before picture I didn’t realize there was a sink in the space and once I saw the space cleared out I had to scroll back up to make sure it was really there 🙂 Excited to see this space progress.
Awesome! And haha, yes, there’s a sink! You mean you couldn’t see it through all of my hoarded clutter? LOL!
Haha, thanks Gretchen! If you feel sad about the wet bar just picture how horrifying we let ours get over the past 2 years, filling it from floor to ceiling with hoarded junk! And as for the extra staircase, it’s just another opportunity for the kids to fall and hurt themselves! LOL.
A space like this in our home would become hap-hazard storage, too! I love the idea of a coffee bar – can’t wait to see what you do!
That is an odd space. I love your plan for it though! I can’t imagine I’d have any idea what to do with it. Can’t wait to see the space bloom into beauty!
Thanks, Corinna! It’s definitely odd. Which is why we just started shoving stuff in there and slamming the door, and here we are almost 3 years later finally addressing the issue! Haha.
