Hello and welcome to Homespun by Laura! I can’t believe it’s been five months since my last blog post, but there’s nothing like the One Room Challenge to give you that extra little push to get back on track!

Daily Doodles: Week 8
Hi there, blog people. It’s been awhile, and it’s time to catch up a bit.
For the last six weeks, we have been busy preparing for a cross-country backroads road trip! That’s right – we’re driving across and through the entire country – all 48 continental states – without using the interstate!

DIY Medal + Trophy Display Shelf
Do you have an abundance of sports medals hiding in a drawer or closet? Almost every 5k road race these days hands out a medal to finishers. Kids’ sports teams are often given trophies or medals at the end of the season. Whether earned running, swimming, biking, or kicking, this project is the perfect solution for displaying all those medals in a place of honor.
New Coffee Table from Old Window
You might remember that I mentioned this table in the reveal of our Den Redesign project back in June, and I’m excited to finally share the coffee table I* made from an old window.
One Room Challenge: Week 6
Wow! Week 6 is here! This One Room Challenge has been just that – a challenge. And it’s been very rewarding. I’m working at my new desk in my (not quite but almost finished) completely new office/sewing room, and I love it!
As I predicted in Week 1 and mentioned above, the room is not totally finished. I’m truly OK with that, though. It’s 400 times better than it was six weeks ago when this crazy challenge began, and there’s no way we would have made the changes that have been made in that amount of time without the timeline that the One Room Challenge provided, and I must thank Linda for that. Thank you, Linda!
One Room Challenge: Week 5
To be completely honest, I’ve been procrastinating a bit on this week’s post. A lot has been accomplished in a short amount of time but in my mind, at least, pictures don’t show very well all that has happened. I spent most of the morning doing random tidying throughout the room, which is a sure sign that I’m putting something off.
But here we are in Week 5, which has presented a few challenges for me; the main two are the weather (it has been rainy and humid and therefore, not ideal for painting), and the fact that we headed out of town for a fun weekend with my brother and sister-in-law.
One Room Challenge: Week 4
Hello there! It’s Week 4 of the One Room Challenge! How did that happen? A lot’s been going on around here in the past week, and it’s starting to look like an office/sewing room in here instead of a junk room that we pretend doesn’t exist!
If this is your first time reading, thanks for stopping by! I’m participating in the six-week long One Room Challenge sponsored by Calling it Home. To see what I’ve been up to in previous weeks, click here. To see what the other 150+ participats are up to this week, click here.
