One Room Challenge Fall 2020, Week 6, The Reveal
The kitchen is done! I'm going to repeat it because I'm so excited - a little louder - THE KITCHEN IS DONE!! In September, I decided to join the One Room Challenge for Fall 2020 as a guest! I am so happy I did. You can see the process of the past five weeks here |week 1| week 2| week 3| week 4| week 5|
I did this project on the tightest budget and will share the details of what I spent in this post. It's amazing what you can do with some paint and help from your Dad! Before we get to all that, I'll share all the pics.
My Dad! The rock star who made the floors happen!

How to Make a Rattan Ceiling Light
My favorite money-saving project was the light fixture. The light in my mood board is $475, and I made this one for $52.
A while back, I had spotted this basket at JoAnn Fabrics and liked it. It was $100, and I really did not have a spot for it in my home. I remembered it for this project, and it makes the perfect light shade.
Using the old light fixture's pendant cord made it super easy to transform the basket into a light. Josh used a hole bit, matched to the size to fit the light. He drilled a hole in the middle of the basket. We attached the basket to the light using the ring attachment that comes with the ceiling light cord. The one we had was from Ikea; you can find pendant light kits on Amazon. You could do this with any basket. What do you think?
Stenciled Backsplash
For the backsplash, I primed and painted the tile that was already there and then stenciled. I bought the stencil from Royal Desing Studio. The best part about using a stencil for this is when I'm ready to change it, I can paint or tile over it.
