For the past couple of years now, I have eagerly sat by and watched from the sidelines of the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE 🤩 daydreaming about all the possibilities for our own home . . . then after launching my own HOME RENOVATION SHOW on YouTube this past August, I decided it was finally TIME to throw my hat into the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE “Guest Participant” ring and WOWZERS! I am so gosh darn GLAD I did, y’all!! I had no idea IF I could renovate an entire space in a short six-weeks time. I have never pushed myself harder nor been more prouder of my own individual strength. Since I was doing ALL the work myself, there were multiple times I started to doubt “Jenna” but my CREATIVITY kept seeing me through . . . all the way to that STRESSFUL finish line!!

Yes, somehow within a six-week-long window, I was able to take our dark, uninviting, dingy ENTRYWAY space from, well, BLAH CITY 👎🏻 to a more bright, welcoming, rainbow-tastic room 🌈 something straight out of my technicolor daydreams! You can take a walk down my first ONE ROOM CHALLENGE‘s memory lane by clicking on any of the following weekly blog posts = WEEK 1 / WEEK 2 / WEEK 3  / WEEK 4 / WEEK 5 . . . there is honestly not one surface in this ENTRYWAY space that I have not touched! I painted the ceiling, the walls, the windows, the baseboards, and its doors. I etched that worn-out brick floor with an acid wash and sealed it with a wet look. I replaced all the electrical outlets, switches and even with my help of my neighbor, hung that beautiful chandelier!

In the words of Queen Bey and Nicki Minaj, I am DEFINITELY feeling myself [and this space] at the moment. ALL of the room’s BOLD COLORS were influenced by the Sazerac Stitches Chandelier I custom ordered for the ENTRYWAY space, which also in turn served as the inspiration behind the LAST NAME artwork I commissioned B.KASPR to create 🎨 the ENTRYWAY mirror was purchased a couple years ago with some store credit and the rug [which was one of four I ordered for the ENTRYWAY] was a completely last minute purchase and even more of a last minute decision Monday night [thank you to everyone who voted on IG!] I honestly could go on and on about all the work that went into this RENOVATED space, but instead, I am going to let these rad photos do the talking.

I hope you have thoroughly enjoyed these colorful “AFTER” pictures of our renovated ENTRYWAY space ❤️ THANK YOU to everyone who has followed along, commented and given me moral support along the way on my first-ever ONE ROOM CHALLENGE journey! It has been such FUN yet definitely CHALLENGING experience that I won’t soon forget 😅 and even though, I am unsure whether or not I’ll participate in the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE of October this year, I HIGHLY recommend participating! I learned so much about myself the last six weeks; knowledge earned and I am better for it!! I also cannot wait to check out everyone else’s renovated spaces! It’s going to be so awesome to see how each of all our individual hard work/designs/rooms turned out!
