The biggest undertaking of the project was definitely the DIY faux-wallpaper. Yes, you read that right—that’s a stencil and paint, baby.

Her sun room was in need of a subfloor repair and other repairs, so she had yet to decorate it and make it her own. During the 8 weeks of the ORC she tackled all the repairs, as well as a multitude of DIY projects to bring the room to life.

Makenzie and Matt did almost all of the labor themselves in order to save money for their upcoming wedding, including stripping the room back to the studs, drywalling, tiling, and wallpapering.

Some major elements stayed the same, like the cabinets, countertops, sink, and window treatment— if it ain’t broke don’t fix it. The changes Dee did make take this kitchen to a whole new level.

Sarah Gunn started with a great but generic base, and really made it her own without doing any demolition at all.
