Thanks to all of my "friends" who commented on "trash talking". I say friends because you are the ones who love me in spite of my self. I am officially putting "cussgate" to bed:)
Speaking of....who is so over "book gate" on RHONY? Crikey.
On to week 2 of the ORC.
If you are late to this game.....read about it here.
I don't know about you but I love catching up on all of the progress....although it usually takes me 2 days to get around to every post!
OK....the dining room....where are we today.
If you guessed wrapping the room in horizontal planks then high five!
It was gonna cost me plenty to get these walls prepped for paint so for a little extra coin I decided to add major texture.
I had it wrapped around into the LR.
The doors were hung and need to be painted. They were white on one side and stained a dark brown on the other.
Here is the paint color I that took me a thousand hours to choose chose: Benjamin Moore Granite AF-660
If you remember these are the pillows in my living room.
Schumacher Hollyhock. I love it. Period.
I know you think I am fickle when it comes to pillows but I don't see myself getting tired of it anytime soon.
Famous last words right:)
Here is the door hardware I ordered.
It's from Emtek. Black and crystal. I looked for some vintage hardware but since I needed [4] it was proving to be slightly impossible and time consuming.
So far I am keeping the chairs but I have had the table and base on Craigslist for 3 weeks now and nothing. What????? Where are all these people who shop on CL.
Here are some other things that will be happening:
Window Treatments
Rug
Table and Base
Lighting
Art
Each one will take about 100 hours to decide. Yes...I am definitely feeling the pressure.
I am on my way to see what everyone else has gotten done this week.

I honestly couldn't love this plan more!!!
You could wrap my whole house in Hollyhock and I'd be happy. Love the planks.
Love the planks, could you tell us what material you used for the planking? Ship-lap?

The wall planks look SOOOOOO good and I too am obsessed with the Hollyhock fabric- this is going to be so so good!
L*O*V*E - your walls look fantastic! I agree that fabric is beautiful and timeless. Please, when you get a chance tell us about your walls - materials, etc. I had planked walls installed in my bathroom and they caulked them - which I thought was a bad idea - it was. It is all cracking, and I have to have someone come and fix them - and remove the caulk. Just wondered what you did with your walls. Your room is going to be stunning! I'm working on a office building design right now. I'm loving it!
Looks so amazing already!! To sell your furniture, try joining a local Facebook tag/garage sale site and listing it there - I've sold so much furniture on our local FB tag sale site that I didn't get a nibble on when I listed it on Craigslist.
The planking is so good!!!! Love how you brought it out into the living room.
Love the horizontal planks! Those knobs are so beautiful. Can't wait to see more next week!

Love the planked walls and want that so badly in the two guest baths.
I have a friend in atlanta who might be interested in your table. How much is it listed for?
I want those planks all over my house. This looks sooooo goooood. I s saw those door knobs in person yesterday and was in love. How funny. Good luck and happy hour starts at 4 during the ORC.
I want to pet your walls.
This post makes me want to run out and buy planking and start it all over my house this moment. Love love love.
Fabulous, my friend!! They are so YOU, can you even stand the thought of how awesome it's going to be to sit in there!!
Beautiful!!
Can't wait to see the final reveal!
I couldn't love it more. Well, yes, I could. Once it's totally done, I know I'll be gaga!!
Oh, those walls are divine! I still can't believe the doors you found fit perfectly, that color is going to look great.
You had me at planking. Loving it!
The planks were such a good idea. The dining room is going to be so much more you.
OMG...best thing ever that you could do to those walls!!!! Love! And the doors, that paint, the hardware, the fabric...killing it!
The walls are truly spectacular. Bravo [slow clap]
Hey I guessed right! Love the plank walls and equally obsessed with that fabric!!
That Schumacher Hollyhock is positively delicious!! And I love the Emtek knobs... we have Emtek in our house too! :) Your room is going to be AMAZING!!!
XOXO,

I love the planks! They look so fabulous! Ok, and that pillow fabric is so me. I love the black, grey florals and did not know about this one. So thank you. I pinned that for future reference. Can't wait till next week.
As one who lives and therefore drives in LA, I've usually called some dummy on the street a mother effer before most people roll out of bed. Language doesn't bother me...it's just a way of expressing oneself. Plus, you know I think you rock.
Planking is looking good! Gonna be an awesome vibe in your rooms!
I know many have said it before me, but PLEASE share the deets on the planking: what kind of material, how wide are the boards, how much spacing between boards, etc, etc. I am planning on doing this in my bedroom and dining room. Can't wait to see the outcome! Best, Beth C.
you could leave it just how it is now and i would love it. ugh. could it get any better?
you make me want to paint that fabric all over my walls. its gorgeous.
loving this girl.
xoxo
I am obsessing over those walls. INCREDIBLE transformation already! I mean... hot damn!
Wait -- can I say that? ;)
Those walls are fabulous already with or without paint! Can't wait to see more!
Those walls are to die for! And I love those throw pillows too. Lovely!
I feel that way about my Sanderson fern fabruc. I want pajamas in it I love it so much! The planks are genius and I just can.not.wait. to see your space done. I know I will sigh and dream a little dream.
I love every detail!! Can't wait for next week!
HAH- Shastressed, love it. Me too, sisterfriend. It's looking so lovely already though! And I love hollyhock long time. one of my faves.
I love it all. This is going to be sooo pretty!
i am in love with those plank walls and granite paint color...i'm getting ready to add plank walls to one of our spare bedrooms. will you be doing a "how to" on the planked walls?
can't wait to see how your ORC turns out...i know it will be "sherry-fabulous"!
and yes, i'm tired of bookgate too...move on ladies!
Oh my gosh! I just blogged about how much I love plank walls!!! This is gonna rock.
The walls look so much more "you". I love the doorknobs most.
Love the planked walls. It's looking fantastic! I'm knee deep in paint as we speak. Why did I think it was a good idea to paint my bathroom on my own!? Mental note to hire that one out next time.
Can't wait to see your finished room in a few weeks!!

Seriously. Those walls. And those doors. Teeing up another beauty.
Wow, looks so fresh. It really transforms the dining room and I can't wait to see the rest.
Everything you touch turns to gold!

Oh my! I LOVE your plan! I'm looking forward to the reveal.
I like your plan for the DR, but I can't stop laughing at " book gate on Rhony" She is, however incredibly dimensional and gifted.
Love the new plan. I agree about the Schumacher fabric...classic!
Sherry.. I love this! I want to come see in person!!! Your such a great designer! I love the mix of everything your doing!!! Xo
Gorgeous! As always! That fabric, Sherry!!!?? Sweet Jesus!!!! :D
Those walls are amazing!!! I love everything you've got picked out for your room and I can not wait to see what's coming up next week! I love your style!
