So much drama in ORC... What would the One Room Challenge be without a few challenges and a little drama? The good news is that I now have the new home office flooring of my dreams.

How to Organize Spray Paint Cans
Our house has a detached garage, which, as a DIYer, can sometimes pose challenges. Because the garage is unheated and uninsulated, I basically have a spray paint season, and then a long period of months when it's too cold to paint in the garage.
