First time ORCer Mary (@whiskandkeyhome) tackled a very familiar problem during the spring ‘24 event—an uninspiring home office gathering clutter due to lack of storage space.

Husband & wife DIY duo Norman and Iesha set out to clean the dryer vent and ended up with what are quite possibly the world’s most beautiful stock cabinets.

While her music room was already lovely, Xin was ready to give the space another pass now that she’s a seasoned DIYer.

Laura of Love Living Here Co. put care into each of her design choices, and the finished bathroom is incredible. Oh yeah, and did we mention she did it all DIY?

ORC vet Samantha of Signed Samantha embarked on another room transformation this past fall ‘23 event, this time creating her home office 2.0. You may remember her gorgeous green home office from the fall ‘21 event—with a second child on the way, the need for a dedicated nursery meant saying goodbye to home office 1.0.

Seasoned ORC vet Erin Zubot tackled a major mudroom overhaul during the Fall ‘22 event, during which she DIYed the most charming built-in storage bench. It looks incredible and is a vastly more efficient use of space.

As we bid farewell to 2023, it's time to celebrate the hands-on creativity that not only left us genuinely awe-inspired, but are also getting our gears turning for next year. This year’s ORC participants showcased an abundance of talent that deserves a moment in the spotlight.

Are you or a loved one dreaming of a home office with lots of magnificent built-in storage? Stock, unfinished stock, and RTA kitchen cabinets might be your ticket to making that dream a reality.

Tiffany’s goal was to turn this storage area into to a cozy space with more visual interest where daughters could read and enjoy spending time.
