Even though my Fall One Room Challenge (ORC) is sitting at about 95% completion, I still signed up for the Spring ORC.

What I loved about my first ORC experience was the community I started to build. There are many women out there, just like me, who want to tackle one room at a time, learn from their peers, cheer each other on, and be proud of their accomplishments. And that’s what the ORC was for me.

Each week, I’d post a carousel on Instagram of my progress for the week (which for five weeks were just the windows, over and over), and I’d be overwhelmed by the responses I’d receive. It motivated me to keep moving forward, even when it seemed there was no end in sight.

What’s the ORC?

If you’re not sure what the ORC is, I urge you to check out their website. Here’s what it is in a nutshell:

• You choose a room you want to redo
• You have eight weeks to complete the room
• Each week, you post your progress

Like I said earlier, it’s a great way to build a community. Your peers cheer you on, and you support your peers, too! You’ll get great advice or tips from your followers (shout out to Leslie at @pink2palace for providing tips when needed!) and support when you feel like you’ve had an unproductive week. You’ll meet like-minded individuals and those that will make you think outside the box.

I’m lucky in that I haven’t met any trolls yet.

Oh, and hey. It’s not like it’s a competition—it’s community over competition. And even if you don’t finish your room to 100% completion, that’s okay! You just join the 95% club like the rest of us.

Sign up for the ORC

Anyone can sign up to participate in the ORC as a guest participant. It’s a great motivator to finally tackle that one project (or twelve) that you’ve been putting off. Plus, you’ll get support from an amazing community to help cheer you on to the finish line.

Share your journey through Instagram or through your blog. There’s no rule that you have to get in front of the camera, but I guarantee we’d all love to see your face!

I’m excited to share the room I’ll be doing for the Spring ORC, both here and on Instagram. But you’ll have to wait until April 6th, just like everyone else. If you aren’t already, be sure to follow me on Instagram and sign up below to get notified of any new blog posts.

It’s bound to be magical…
