Hey friends! I’m back with another One Room Challenge Update! If you follow me on Instagram you might have already seen a sneak peek, but today I’m sharing all the details! Today I’m talking about this stunning wallpaper and live edge bench!
First let’s chat wallpaper. It’s the Juncaceae removable wallpaper from WallsNeedLove. The minute I saw it I knew it would look AMAZING in my home. 
Not too long ago I hung some beautiful wallpaper in our daughter’s room, and this stuff was SO much easier to hang! Honestly! The seams were easy to line up, and I was able to hang this entire wall alone in an hour! It brings such a beautiful pop of color to the room!
This week we also installed this GORGEOUS live edge bench from Rockler Woodworking. I found it with their assortment of “One of a Kind” wood and I LOVE it. If you’re looking for unique wood for any kind of project they’ve got an awesome selection.
Once it arrived I just cut it down to the proper size, sanded it, and then put two coats of a quick-drying polyurethane on it.
I LOVE the wormholes, the bark, and the natural beauty that it displays!
Although we’re keeping most shoes in our new storage cabinet, it also provides a great place for a few pairs of boots.
We mounted the bench using four of these brackets from Rockler. As much as I LOVED the theater chairs that used to live in this mudroom, this is a better layout and provides more function than the theater seats did.
You might have noticed I’ve got a different rug in here than I did last week. Basically I’m playing musical rugs! This coral rug can be found here, but honestly I’m just not sold that it’s the right one! It wasn’t cheap and I’m afraid that with all the mud that gets tracked in here it will get ruined easily. I’m also not sure if it’s too bold with the bold wallpaper… what do you think?
In case you missed other One Room Challenge updates you can find them here: Mood Board, Faux Board and Batten & Light, & Locker Storage Cabinets. Here’s how the to-do list is looking for the next two weeks:

- Build barn door and track
- Hang art above hook wall
- Wood fill, caulk, and touch up paint
Wallpaper adult hook wallInstall bench under adult hooks
You might notice from the to-do list that stenciling the floor is BACK on the list! Yes… after going back and forth on whether or not to do it I decided to take the plunge! It really won’t have much impact in the mudroom because of the rug, but it will in the adjoining hallway and entry. I started stenciling last night and I can’t WAIT to share it with you! Lastly, this mudroom makeover would’t be possible without my amazing sponsors. I am SO grateful to: WallsNeedLove, Lamps Plus, Rockler, Blindster, D. Lawless Hardware, Amy Howard, Minted, and Sauder. Much of the product for this makeover was provided by these sponsors.

Why not leave it rugless? Or just use a door mat in front of the door. It’s a mud room after all. That wallpaper is a winner. Looking so good.
The mat in front of the door may work. We just have SUCH long wet winters that it’s nice to take your boots off on a rug and not get your feet wet! I also feel like a rug catches a lot of the dirt and sand from getting tracked into the rest of the house!
I love the wallpaper! I also think the rug is the perfect color. I agree that rugless might be the way to go. For the future, we have a somewhat ugly microfiber mud rug, and it works beautifully through our long snowy, muddy, icy winters.
Honestly that’s not a bad idea. I feel like we have SO MUCH winter here that without a rug everyone will have wet socks all the time.
