ONE ROOM CHALLENGE WEEK 5

Here we are.....week 5 of the ORC.  I know everyone else has already posted...all of those "organized people" whose list have list.

 I thought I would have a big goose egg for you today....ha ha....I managed to round up a few things.  Whew.  I am like dang David Copperfield.

Last week we locked in with decisions on the fabrics.  That is where the first news flash is.  


We had picked out the Lee Jofa brown for the lumbar pillows in the club chairs.

Alert.....she changed her mind!!!  We revisited the RL brown zebra and decided that it would add a little more interest to the room if we were to throw it into the mix.

I totally agreed.......telling here if it was my room that is what I would go with.

Refresh.

I have to tell you it's out of the box for her...so you guys build it up  OK?  AND if you don't like it...well....keep it to yourself :)  Cause you know design is subjective and we all have different taste. 


Lesson for the day:  Always be nice.  ABN. 


As a designer I might not love the style of a particular room [like a really modern one] but I can totally appreciate a well thought out space that is pulled together and cohesive.

The next thing we made a decision about was the coffee table.

Here she be.  We are going to have it painted a light blue kind of like this finish.

The talented and sweet Kristin F. Davis will be working her magic.  AND...she graciously squeezed us in next week.  If you are not familiar with her work....

How cool is this...

Love how she matched the stripes to the shower curtain....it's all about the details right?

Love these stenciled walls.


So I know we will be in good hands.

Once the coffee table is done we are going to add this large basket from PB.  It will help fill the space underneath, add texture and she can put books and magazines in it.


A pair of cream lamps have been ordered from Ballard's.

But we are changing the shades to add more texture.

Plus...change out the finial to something like this.

Just to give it a little interest.


There you have it.  Fabrics have been ordered.  The train has left the station....


Now you can spend the rest of the day catching up on all of the other updates!

In fact I think I will take my ipad, go get a pedicure and start reading.  Every time I run....about three months later I lose the same toe nail.  So they have to paint the skin.  Weird huh?


While I was at PB today getting the basket and shades I took a few pictures.

Kind of digging this "old" trunk used for a coffee table.  Old meaning reproduction of course.

I have to tell you...this shade looks too small for this lamp...to me anyway.  Thoughts?


OK....I don't want to confuse the ORC with a post on PB so we will leave it at that.


Off for some pampering.
