Week 2 is done and we are making it through to week 3 of the One Room Challenge! This week we focused on building the three ceiling beams and the arches. Both proved to be intensive projects, and we still have not completed the arches.

Week 6: Finishing all the loose ends!

Hard Parts of the Week 2:

• I wanted to keep the ceiling beams as a more affordable project, so I used plywood and blocks of framing wood to assemble them. We struggled with figuring out the dimensions with the angled roof. Beam one took a long time, but with beam two I accidentally assembled upside down, and beam three I cut too long so we had to shave some off. All the trial and error.

• I was hoping the arches would be a 2 day project, and here on day 5 and I still do not have one finished arch. I cried real tears over this DIY, But I think I am close to having it figured out.

Fun Parts of the Week 2:

• I am very happy with how the beam placement has turned out! Choosing to do three beams does not draw attention towards the unevenly placed windows, and I think it is going to look amazing with the lighting pendants from our collaboration with Crystorama!

• Our flooring tile came from Fireclay Tile and it is more beautiful than I could have imagined!
