Well the one room challenge was done last week and all weekend I was overwhelmed by kind words from our room, and had so much fun exploring all the other participants! Here are some of my favorites!
Pretty Practicle Home Canopy Bed Big Girl Room
Linda Holt Interiors Living Room
I am so excited to share the final reveal of the ORC today! We moved into our first house in March and we have been updating little by little since then. Be sure to follow along with all the participants here!
You can see here was the before. We did a lot to the room including….
painted walls, trim, and doors
refinished floors
sewed canopy panels
sewed pillows
updated Ikea sconces with Ikea hack
re-upholstered ottomans
re-painted end table for night stand
replace light fixture
I am so happy with the way the room turned out. We have guests coming this weekend to visit (perfect timing) and I am pumped for them to enjoy the space!
So in the last week we have been working on a lot of little finishing details, but feels like we didn’t get much done. Don’t you hate that?
I still can’t decide on the yellow vs the white console. Part of me now wishes we had time for me to paint the buffet navy with a white stripe. Oh well. That might have to be saved for a later project.
We’ve been spraying away….
and spraying….
So excited about our little Ikea Sconces inspired by Shine Your Light. She changed up the lamp shade a bit but for our aesthetic I thought the more traditional white fit in just fine.
Good luck to everyone in the final weeks! Make sure to link up with everyone else here!
I have long been a fan of McGrath II Design Firm. I love their traditional sophistication mixed with feminine details.
This NYC apartment is just to die for. So beautifully layered. Maximizing every ounce of the small space.
And this wallpaper. I love love love the idea of taking a mural an just splashing it all over walls. Gorgeous!
So I have had a lot of little touches start to happen at the house as of late.
The living room is looking a little cozier, after I found two of these amazing chairs on craigslist ($40 each whoop whoop). I need to finalize a fabric and ship them off to my upholsterer to breathe new life into them!
This fabric is in the running……
I also keep ordering a bunch of wallpaper samples for my bathroom…..I am liking the top middle one the best. Which one do you like?
So I have gotten a couple things done over the last week.
You can see that I upholstered the console table in the croc pleather I mentioned. I think it turned out pretty cool. Not bad for only costing about $75. You can see I already had a yellow buffet in here, and I am still deciding between the two. The yellow goes really well with the art, however I was going for really clean lines and keeping it all navy and white. Shout out a comment with your favorite! Help me decide! So you will have to wait till the reveal to see which I pick!
But I am still trying to figure out what fabric I want to upholster my ottoman’s in and to make euro pillow for on the bed. I want these to match. I already made the below zig zag pillows, but honestly if I find another fabric that I am in love with I can always use those somewhere else.
Here are my options that I just ordered samples for. Remember they will be doing on either all white bedding or tucked until the all white console table, up against the navy background.
Because there is so much other white I thought this fun fish print might look cool.
Thought a nice geo option would be good since I already have so much floral.
So in the next two weeks I still have to….
hang the sconce lights
find pillow fabric and sew
upholster ottomans
buy new crisp white bedding
find some decor for the console/buffet!
Can’t wait for it to be finished!
Be sure to give support to all the participating contestants (here)!!
