Welcome to week number three of the One Room Challenge. I can’t believe that I am wrapping up the third week of the challenge already. It’s been so much fun transforming our main bathroom and painting as already had a huge impact.

The big project on my to-do list this week was to paint, create and install these diy open shelves for the bathroom. This bathroom has some serious shortage of storage space, as there is no closet! Oh the woes.
I covered the boring grey walls with Simply White by Benjamin Moore and then used PPG Paints Manor Hall Interior in Black Magic from House Rules Design Shop for the backdrop of the shelving. What a fun name right?! How could it not be the right paint for this bathroom makeover and it went on so beautifully.
House Rules Design Shop is headed by Heather Smillie of HGTV fame and I knew that she would be able to provide a high quality paint at a smart price that would knock this project out of the park. I am also using PPG paint for the vanity, in the same colour. If you live in the Bruce – Grey area then it is worth a trip to Hanover to visit this store!
The shelves are 2×12 pine from Home Depot stained with Verethane Gel Stain in provincial, and are held in place with simple black wall brackets, also from Home Depot. I thrifted all of the storage baskets and vessels that are on these shelves, mostly from The Salvation Army and also Value Village. To refresh, check out the WEEK 1 post to see what the space looked like before.
Stay tuned over the next three weeks to see the full transformation. And, head over to Instagram to keep up with all the One Room Challenge crazy and check out my story highlights for a time lapse video of how I styled the shelves.
