One Room Challenge Week 2 Gym/Guest Room - www.refashionablylate.com

Happy week 2 of the One Room Challenge!  This week has been kind of a demo and painting week.  I painted the woodwork and trim with Zurich White from Sherwin-Williams.  We then painted the ceiling with Eminence High Performance Ceiling Paint by Sherwin-Williams.  We kept it the base color of Bright White as that’s the color of the ceilings in our other rooms that were previously painted.  To top off our painting marathon we painted the walls with Dovetail by Sherwin-Williams.  (Can you tell I kind of like Sherwin-Williams paint?)  We used the Emerald Interior Acrylic Latex Paint line for our walls.  I really loved how well it covered the walls…especially the mix of the terrible blue paint.

If you missed last week follow along below:

Week 1

My favorite way to paint walls is to use the PaintStick EZ-Twist Paint Roller by HomeRight.  I’m going to be honest with you that I’m not a fan of painting walls.  I will cut in all day long and paint woodwork before I choose to paint walls.  My husband thinks I’m crazy as he hates to do all the cutting in but enjoys the walls.  I guess that’s why we are a good match!  I will say though when my husband isn’t around to paint the walls for me I actually enjoy doing it with the PaintStick EZ-Twist!  It’s so simple and quick and there are no messy roller trays!  The paint loads up into the handle of the PaintStick and then you can paint pretty much an entire wall without loading up the PaintStick EZ-Twist again!  How cool is that?!  For a more detailed tutorial on how to use the PaintStick EZ-Twist head on over to HomeRight’s blog.One Room Challenge Week 2 Gym/Guest Room - www.refashionablylate.com

Once we got all the painting done it was time to get the floors ready for our new vinyl flooring!  We started by ripping out the carpet and padding.  It was a pretty quick little demo but where it got tricky was getting the tack strip up.  There were nails inside of the concrete holding the carpet down so we weren’t sure how to get them out.  Thankfully for our dear friend Google we figured out how to do it properly with a crowbar!  One Room Challenge Week 2 Gym/Guest Room - www.refashionablylate.com

We are currently working on removing the glue from the cement and then give it a good clean.  We are installing Allure White Maple Luxury Vinyl Plank Flooring by TrafficMASTER.  Since I went with a darker color for the walls I wanted a lighter floor to help brighten up the room.  This vinyl flooring is the same installation process as our upstairs living room.  It’s the Grip Strip system and it’s so easy to install!  Check out this video of my living room transformation!

I’ll leave you with a couple more photos of the rooms current state.  I’m so anxious to get the flooring in this week so we can get everything back into the room.  After that, it’s time to build the Murphy Bed!  Wish us luck! One Room Challenge Week 2 Gym/Guest Room - www.refashionablylate.com One Room Challenge Week 2 Gym/Guest Room - www.refashionablylate.com

    I am very intrigued with that paint stick! I don’t mind painting too much, but it is the clean up after that I despise! Love the flooring you have chosen too!

    Much better with the new paint on the walls! lol. I can’t wait to see your murphy bed? Are you using designs or making your own designs? Either way, it’s a great idea for this shared space!

    Looking forward to seeing the floors. Probably within the year we’ll also be ripping the carpet out of our first-floor multipurpose room Mike uses as an office now. It’s the entrance from the backyard, so it’s SO hard to keep the carpets clean.

      Nice! I don’t know many people who like cutting in! I really dislike rolling so it’s a perfect match for my husband and I! And for you and your husband as well!

My name is Ruthie, I was born and raised in the Midwest.  I met the man of my dreams in Nashville, TN and decided to follow him back home to California.  First came love, then came marriage, then came the baby in the baby carriage.  My husband got a new job when my daughter was 2 months old and we packed up and moved halfway across the country to Minnesota, back to my homeland. We now have two beautiful little girls.
