Sunroom One Room Challenge Week 2: Everything We Need to Accomplish

If you’re new here, welcome! I’m Sasha. My husband, Matt, and I have slowly been renovating and decorating our Victorian home, while trying to maintain its historic charm. For this One Room Challenge, we renovated our sunroom.

I have been following the One Room Challenge for inspiration since we moved into our home nearly 2 and a half years ago, so it was a thrill to participate for the first time this spring when we tackled our guest bathroom renovation! For this One Room Challenge, we will be finishing our sunroom. I will be sharing the progress on Instagram as well as here. Today’s post will focus on the to-do list for this renovation.

What we accomplished before starting this One Room Challenge:

• Removed the dividing wall
• Removed built-in desk
• Removed the tile floor
• Installed a wood floor
• Replaced the ceiling light and fan
• Terminated unnecessary wires
• Installed junction box for electrical connections for modern lights
• Removed old wallpaper and repaired drywall
• Installed new drywall, where necessary
• Painted
• Purchased secondhand sofa
• Purchased secondhand chairs
• Purchased fabric

The fabric selections

Here are the fabrics I am using in this space to coordinate with the floral pattern of the Lee Jofa Hollyhock sofa. The green fabric will go on two of the chairs and the blue ticking stripe will be used for the curtains. My mom bought the green floral fabric for a project, but didn’t end up using it, so she gave it to me for this project!

Updating the overhead lights

I purchased two of these lights open box almost two years ago. They coordinate well with our kitchen pendants, which are visible from the sunroom. I think lighting is a great way to add some modern flair to a traditional space. Here are some tips for buying lighting at a discount.

Choosing paint colors

Week one accomplishments:

• Finished reupholstering 50% of one accent chair
• Purchased accent lights

Remaining tasks to accomplish:

• Reupholster remaining 3.5 chairs
