Starting on Wednesday, October 7th, twenty design bloggers will transform a space in their home (or the home of a client) from start to finish. Each Week, they will be sharing their process, tips, and sources. All of this will lead up to the final room reveals on Wednesday, November 11th.

If this sounds like fun and you would like to join in....then be my guest! On Thursday, October 8th, it's the return of the One Room Challenge™ Linking Event. For six crazy Thursday's you can transform a space and everyone will follow your progress.

Here's how to join:

For my regular six readers, I promise I will post more house updates soon. Thanks for the houseplant mom & dad.

Hello......and some house updates

I remember you.....and hopefully, you remember me. I have been a complete mess with too many commitments, back to school, and an endless renovation project.

I know I promised you wood tile updates, and so much more. I'm just going to show you what it looks like today. ...this is real time.

White kitchen cabinets are going in.

I love this

Minka Aire ceiling fan

. It works with my California beach house.

Do you remember how crazy I was about

finding the perfect wood tile

? This is the

real wood

floor I was trying to match.

And here is my very dusty, dirty...not even completely grouted...wood tile floor.

A closer look

The company is called Magnolia, and the color is Fir....you're welcome!

Add caption

Lastly, how about the asymmetrical ceilings? I'm glad

I went with my gut

on this one.

Thank you for sending the emails and leaving comments. I have read every one of them. I'm sorry I have not been able to get back to some of you...but I'm a little busy at the moment :).

Oh, and the

decision is pulls

. I'll try to get back to you soon. Thanks for reading.
