How has it been three weeks already….I feel like I just started. And, the progress that I have made also looks like I just started….
To be fair, I pretty much just completed a 6 week challenge of our carport to garage makeover, did you see it? I am in love with how it turned out. It has been taking my time the past few weeks but the hard work paid off.
So let me give you a quick peek at what I have done and go over my long to do list of what still needs to be done…wish me luck. 🙂
Be sure to head over to Calling It Home to see how everyone else is doing on their rooms!
I love how the walls turned out! So so excited to get some art on the walls and get this place finished up. I am making a trip up to IKEA this weekend so I will be busy next week getting some fun projects done!
Here is my t0-do-list:
–paint walls
-finish floor molding (it’s only been 3 years, I guess I should get it done! HA!)
-Install new lighting
–build bed (yikes)- ( Almost done!)
-Fix craigslist dresser
–paint accent chair (craigslist find)
-TARVA nightstand hack
-create DIY art
-build headboard (still on the fence about this one)
-make DIY curtain rods
-hang curtains
-build and hang floating shelves
-decorate
-hope I don’t give myself a heart attack (jk)
And last, but certainly not least, a big shout out to these amazing brands for helping us in the room makeover.

Cassie Bustamante says
LOVE that paint color! the walls look awesome!
Hawthorne & Main says
Thanks! I thought that it might be too dark, but it seems to be working good. I just need to make sure to bring some more white in to balance it all out.

Love the blue walls!
That baby! – All the heart eyes-
Does one of your windows face out into a porch area?

I love the blue too. I was worried it might be too dark but it seems to be working good. That baby has my heart…she is a good little helper. So, the house is old and has had so so many additions. The little area that you are seeing outside is like a small closet that is closed on one side and opens to the backyard on the other side….its weird….and it’s a mess! HA. The work never ends…hahah.

Wow! What a difference paint makes! Awesome progress, Shonee!! I can’t wait to see the final reveal!
Hawthorne & Main says
Thanks! It has been slow work. I actually got outside and started on the bed today, so far it looks good.
Leslie says
I’m right there with you, and feel like I completely stalled on progress in the last week. We actually just did a trip to Ikea today, which was great for inspiration to get things back on pace. Can’t wait to see the final space!
Hawthorne & Main says
Yes my favorite place! I need to get my butt in gear and get it all finished! yay
Kristin @ Postbox Designs says
OHHHHH….I love the wall color! I’ve never been brave enough to go bold, so I will be sure to check back and see the finished space, it is going to look amazing! I’m smiling because for my ORC project I went about as neutral as can be on the walls…some habits die hard! 🙂
Hawthorne & Main says
Thanks Kristin! I love color, but I have to say that I have not been very successful in the past at painting bold colors on the wall…. This time around it is going much better. I hope I can get it all balanced out and it doesn’t look like a dark dungeon! hahah. What I like about neutrals is you can bring in color with decor.

Just keep swimming! You can do it!
Hawthorne & Main says
hahah thanks! Almost done, yikes!
