One Room Challenge, Week 4 – An Art Story

Art is my thing. I love finding it, supporting the people who make it, and covering my walls with it. I’ll take a great piece of art over a photo any day.

If you’ve missed out on the past One Room Challenge posts, you can check out each one here — week 1, week 2 and week 3. And if you’re new here, the One Room Challenge is:

The One Room Challenge® is a biannual event every spring and fall. Everyone with a blog or Instagram account is welcome to join the fun as a Guest Participant by registering for the event with the room or space you plan to transform. Registration typically opens about a month prior to the event. Every Wednesday during the event, which lasts eight weeks, Guest Participants link their weekly project updates on this site, and spectators and participants can easily follow along by browsing the linkup page.

This week’s photos are a little moodier than usual — I had to take them at night because, as usual, the days slipped away from me. On the bright side, one of my favorite things lately is swapping out whatever came in a frame for art I actually like.

Consider this your warning: dry humor ahead. Proceed accordingly.


Hot tip: If your frame doesn’t have glass, a layer of Mod Podge can fake that vintage, matte finish like a pro. Bonus tip: The best glass is non-reflective, and you’ll usually find it hiding in the world’s ugliest thrifted frames. Don’t let bad taste fool you — the glass might be a gem.

This week: I didn’t wake up a plant whisperer—it took trial, error, and a few crunchy leaves.
Forget the calendar. I check the soil (with a meter or, you know, my finger). Some plants like it dry, some want moisture—none care that it’s Tuesday.
Want a green thumb? Start listening to your plants. They’re dramatic, but honest. 💧✨
P.S. One of these is fake. Can you guess which?

Sunday House Call: A Mother’s Day Edition
This week’s question: What’s something your mom always did in her home—good or bad—that stuck with you?
Mine? Fake fruit, apples on everything, and an unusual devotion to birdhouses.
My kids? They say it’s “artwork and disco balls”… which honestly feels like a win.
Your turn—what did you grow up with that still lives rent-free in your home (or your nightmares)?

Never underestimate the power of a pop of mustard. It’s like sunshine, but sassier.

Tuesday Tips Nobody Asked For: Styling Gallery Walls

Because nothing says “I have my life together” like a curated wall of chaos. I mix things like my kids doodles, a vintage photo of my grandma, the quote “normal people are so weird,” and my late pup’s collar tags—sentimental but make it stylish. Art is personal, and perfection is overrated. Here’s how I make a gallery wall feel like home (and mildly unhinged in the best way).

🛎️ Sunday House Call: Fireplace Edition

Back when we bought this house, we were deep in our barnwood era (weren’t we all?). So naturally, the fireplace got the full rustic treatment. Fast-forward to now, and let’s just say... I’m ready for a little less farm, a little more fresh.

I’m finally gearing up to give it a makeover, but I need your help. Should I just paint it and call it a day? Or do we go bold with vertical slats and give it a whole new vibe?

Drop your opinions, bold ideas, or gentle roasts below—this is a judgment-free renovation zone. Mostly. 📸 @jordanlexuscostello
