A time to pause: One Room Challenge, Week 8

There is a time for everything. A time for action, a time to contemplate, and time to rest. I chose to do all three this week. And for that reason, I chose to pause on finishing my hallway by the One Room Challenge deadline.

More than eight weeks ago, I made plans for my hallway transformation. I still stand by my helpful planning guide to completing the One Room Challenge by the deadline. I could have finished because of this! Planning really makes all the difference because you can control when you complete the steps to finishing a space. However, especially when working in your own home, I have learned it is better to work inspired rather than drained. You cannot truly plan for the calamity of the world.

We know thereโ€™s always so much going on among mankind at all times. But itโ€™s something when you feel a personal connection to the bad things that happen. Because I am not completing someone elseโ€™s space, I had space to step away and process my sadness around the events that have happened recently.

Before I chose to pause, I completed the board and batten project that I initially included in my mood board. Iโ€™ll detail the process in detail at a later date. Ultimately, I felt that this project, in the context of all in the world — particularly in my country — seems trivial. I felt it would be inappropriate for me to carry on in this moment.

Thank you for following the One Room Challenge here on Hello Home, Girl. In the near future, I will finish and reveal. I hope you stay tuned to see the final product.

In the meantime, I encourage you to pause, reflect, hold crucial conversations, and outwardly express your admiration for your loved ones. Letโ€™s put forth action to enact positive change for our collective future!

Sincerely,

Felicia.

I didn't finish. I didn't even try. I didn't feel I didn't finish.

I didn't even try. I didn't feel like working on my #oneroomchallenge project with the tragedies of recent. I don't work when I don't feel it's conducive. I'll get to when I feel better. This is where the hallway will remain for a little bit.

RIP to the victims of Buffalo, NY and Uvalde, TX.

I'm totally enjoying seeing all of the day 1 posts I'm totally enjoying seeing all of the day 1 posts of the @oneroomchallenge folks are posting today. Later, I'll be browsing and commenting. Even if you're not participating, it's still so worthwhile to follow the #orcat hashtag for fantastic projects and people to follow throughout these eight weeks. I recommend finding 5 people to projects to follow from beginning to end. Then, take a look week to week to see if any pictures from other projects catches your eye. Big inspiration abounds! This time, I'm giving my hallway a makeover! It's something simple but needed. Find out my why and see my top three mood boards on the blog. Shout out to those of you who already peeped the blog post via today's stories.

Which room are you looking forward to seeing makeovers for? Looking for some kitchen inspiration? How about a dining room? Maybe you're looking for a hallway. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ

Good morning from a chilly "snow" day in Texas! Th Good morning from a chilly "snow" day in Texas! The power went off when we were sleeping, but now it's back on! ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ I think it's time to go heat up some tea like I'm sipping in this photograph! Speaking of tea, I have been blessed to spill tea with seven other fantastic bloggers in the #punchbowlsocial blog hop! I hope you can check out and discover some new DIY inspiration. What I love about this blog hop is that you get to learn about people in a way that IG doesn't suffice. Even in reading posts this morning, I've been able to connect to others and learn about their why.

So grab a beverage of your choice (tea, punch, or anything else ๐Ÿ˜‰) and join us in the blog hop! The link to my post is in my bio; within the post, you'll find links to everyone's blogs. Also, I've tagged everyone's IG on the 2nd slide of this post.
