It's week 5 of the One Room Challenge where I have insanely jumped into the madness and am madly trying to finish the space.
What is the One Room Challenge? It is where 20 featured designers are making over a space in 6 weeks. All of the featured designers will create amazing spaces, armed with sponsors and the ability to renovate and make drastic changes to their homes. I jumped on the guest participant bandwagon and feel like melting into a puddle of tears right now.
If you are new here, my hubby and I live in a rental home where I have been slowly adding our touch to our home using creativity and ingenuity! You can visit my last 2 One Room Challenge makeovers where I re-designed our kitchen with renter friendly updates and I revamped our son's old bedroom into my sewing room!
It's the home stretch and my biggest regret is NOT HAVING A PROPER PLAN BEFORE I BEGAN!
It has been the thorn in my side, it has caused me so much agony and sleepless nights. Not sure why I do this to myself.
But the end is in sight, my only dread it to photograph the space which I find so stressful.
What I managed to accomplish this week:
- Put the room back together
- Hung curtains
- Gave the Liberace gold mirror an aged treatment (check out my Instastories for that!)
- Spray painted the wall sconces.
- Hung up wall sconces
- Added new hardware from Lee Valley on the Ikea dressers.
- Purchased new duvet.
- Began sewing the slipcover for the armchair.
- Assembled artwork, hung a few pieces.
- Cut out fabric for a long lumbar pillow.
What is left to do:
- Finish hanging art work
- Sew lumbar pillow
- Finish slipcover
- Photograph space
I'm loving the whole modern Parisian vibe the room is taking on! Can't wait to show you next week!

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own weblog and was curious what all is needed
ReplyDeleteto get setup? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very internet smart so I'm not 100% sure. Any suggestions
or advice would be greatly appreciated. Appreciate it
Oh, you have to figure out which platform you would like to use, like Blogger/Wordpress/Squarespace to name a few. There are many free templates and tons of YouTube and blog posts on how to set up and how to blog. I bought my template from Georgia Lou studios, the llnk is on the bottom of my website! I think it cost me $20. There is tons of free info on the web! Good luck!
