Today is the big day you've all been waiting for - the One Room Challenge Guest reveals! I am so excited to be sharing my revamped entryway with all of you. And I can't wait to see all of the other One Room Challenge Reveals over at Calling it Home.
If you're a lover of shiplap, I think you'll fall for our foyer renovation. We channeled our inner Chip & Joanna to bring a little bit of farmhouse to our 1980's colonial.
In case you missed it, here's what we did:
- Showed you how the room looked before
- DIY'd an inexpensive orb light (you won't believe what the light was made with!)
- Redid an old dresser with chalk paint and shared how we refinished our stairway
- Re-imagined a cork board into a chalkboard
- Created custom artwork using engineer prints
So without further ado, here is our redesigned foyer!

What a bright welcoming entry! The floor and railing refinishing made an enormous difference!
Thanks so much, Deb! I love all of the details in your new studio!
I love the runner on the stairs and the simple artwork on the walls!
Thanks so much, Mary! I love your mudroom reveal. I am totally jealous that you have a mudroom space - so smart to have it at the basement entrance!
WOW!!! For such a 'simple' space this is a HUGE transformation. The ship lap looks fantastic, and the color of the console dresser is wonderful, as are the home sweet home and this is us signs. Fantastic job, enjoy your new space!
Thanks so much Michaela! I love how your sunroom turned out! I can't believe you did that floor yourself with a stencil - I totally thought it was a tile or vinyl at first!
What a gorgeous entry! That carpet runner is beautiful - and I love that chest! Congrats on a stunning reveal!
Thanks so much Jen!! Your powder room is beautiful. That fabric "wallpaper" is gorgeous!!
Laura,
What a beautiful entryway! Love all the color. Nicely done.
Thanks so much, Libbie! I LOVE your laundry room!! I have been dying to use navy blue somewhere in my house (everything I have right now is a lighter blue). Your space is beautiful!
I love those banners-they are the perfect touch! And I love that you did your foyer for ORC, it turned out beautifully!
Thanks so much, Kristin! I love your son's room that you made over. Those lights over the dresser are amazing!!
Love it Laura especially the banner and shiplap wall treatment! Congrats and Cheers for another room done!
Thanks so much, Vel!! Your master looks straight out of a hotel. It is beautiful!
Wow! This is really pretty! Good job!
Thanks so much, Joan!! And thanks for stopping by!
Laura, the whole redo of your foyer and up the stairs is beautiful. I really love the blue on the
dresser. What a great job. I know how hard it worked -- great job!!!
Thanks so much!! 🙂
What a transformation! I thought maybe you just moved. 😀 Seriously, you did great work. You should feel very proud.
Thanks so much, Stacy!! I love your breakfast nook - what a fun space!! And that floor is beautiful!
Thank you, Laura! 🙂
Home Pretty Home : ). The foyer looks so lovely. I like the signs you used and that runner really compliments the space. Great job.
Thanks so much, Delia! Your guest bathroom transformation is unbelievable - it's hard to believe it's the same room!!
this looks amazing! That is quite the transformation! Well done!
Thanks so much, Mimzy! Your bathroom is gorgeous. I love the faucets for the sink!
Wow that's incredible!!
Thanks so much, Holly!!
This was a super cool story to follow! I'm not even sure how I ended up on your site but I'm glad i did! 🙂 What a great job on the remodel too, this is the first time I heard of shiplap but I'm definitely taking note of it, thanks.
This was such a beautiful transformation! I love how it turned out so "farmhouse-y." My husband and I are just in the beginning stages of adding shiplap to our new house! Our house is only 3 years old, but it is so white and blah. We need to add in some dimension 🙂
Great blog post! I will definitely be coming back!
Beautiful update Laura! What product did you use to cap the steps? That's the next project we're undertaking at our house.
Thanks so much, Beth! Actually, I didn't use anything to cap the steps. That is how my steps were underneath - just basic, plywood steps. You can purchase stair treads but I didn't think in our case it would make much of a difference. The only area that we did have to modify was the landing. That's where we placed a piece of plywood so that it would be level. I hope this helps! Best of luck!!
Super cute. Love your helper too.
This is so pretty!! I’m just wondering bc it doesn’t mention the floor. Did you rip out the old tile and do all new flooring? Or go on top of it? Looks great!
This type of flooring allows for you to put it right on top!! It made it SO easy to install!
@Laura, we are thinking about re-doing our floors also and have hard wood floors already. Do you think these would go over our hard wood floors? Or would we need to tear them out first?
Love it! What is your trick to getting that stair runner to stay put without ruining the floor beneath it?
One more thing... Your dad helped you create this shiplap look? He did an amazing job! 🙂 I absolutely love it! Sorry for all of the extra comments, I keep thinking of more to ask or say! 🙂
Hi Courtney! My dad did help me create the shiplap look - he is really skilled. We tell him all of time he went into the wrong field of work 🙂 I do not think that putting hardwood on top of hardwood would work well. I do know that a lot of the new luxury vinyl can go over top of wood floors though! Have you thought about refinishing your current floors instead? The runner was attached with a couple of small staples for each step so it would damage the floor slightly. Since our stairs were just original, basic wood risers, we weren't worried about that. We figured if we wanted to replace the runner, we would still put down another one and the small staple spots wouldn't show. There are some alternative options with carpet tape and some velcro grip type things but we wanted to make sure it stayed secure so that it wouldn't become a safety concern. I hope this helps!
It is very nice! I had to google what shiplap means so i even learned a new english word.
I like the clean look and your guests will feel welcome.
Question and I know this was awhile ago- how did you/what did you do to finish the shiplap at the first floor hallway? Does it carry around the corner and down the hall to the kitchen?
Hi Barb - sorry this is such a big delay. We didn't carry it around the corner in the hall to the kitchen. We ended it right at the end of the wall. Hope this helps!
Oh, my gosh! This is gorgeous! Well done!
So beautiful - Love it.
