I know y'all are saying "wow....only 3 weeks to go".
While I am saying it more like "AYFKM? 3 WEEKS TO GO????"

But here we are almost halfway through the ORC.
I think it's cool that there are so many different styles among this talented group. I get pretty darn excited to check on all of the progress......I mean we have people doing big renovating out there....that is some kind of pressure!
We left off with the decision of wrapping the room in 1 by 8 boards. Many of you wanted to know how to do it.
Well....I don't know how..... but I know what I told them:)
I did not care if it was perfect.....I was going for a more casual look.
They took the trim off from around the windows and just used 1 by 4's.
Same with the floor trim....
You can see there are gaps which I think is part of the charm.....I did NOT want caulk in-between the boards
Here are a few images painted [BM White Dove] in an eggshell finish.
The doors were just painted here.
Here you can see how I wrapped it around the front into the LR.
I have since painted that old register.....
And....here we have the "big picture"....
So....am I happy with it? If I could..... I would cover every wall in my house! For realz.
I still have not sold my table yet. One of the reasons I decided to replace it is because of the size and now I feel guilty cause I am about to have 2 DR tables. Crikey.
Search Limestone DR tables on CL Atlanta if you are interested. You can see a picture of it here
A little peek of what is coming.
That is a whole other story involving 3 other designers/bloggers.
Linda....do I get a prize for finally getting this post out before 8:00 AM:)
Here's a list of talent to keep you entertained today!

In other news I work in the yard planting for the first time in 10 years and 2 days later it gets down to 34 degrees. Really? I will be one mad old lady if it all dies.

Love it and I can't wait till we plank one of the guest bathrooms if not both. Love that look.
It is amazing!!!
I am OBSESSED with your room. We took off our little doors like that in our family room leading to the back hall and the front hall and now I want Matthew to paint them gray and put them back up. Today.
That is all.
I love the look of planked walls. It adds instant charm to the room. Love the bright white and grey paint you've used too.
This is seriously just SOOOO beautiful!!! The walls in combo with the grey doors make my knees week. I can not wait to see this all put together and whatever that sneak peek is...heaven!
love love love. You are making me second guess my decision to stain my wood since yours looks so pretty white. This challenge makes us all bonkers.
ps- Is that lucite a table base? Whatever it is, its fab!!
The planked walls, the floors, the gray lacquered door, the chandelier- I die! I have planked wall envy right now- BEAUTIFUL!
I have always been a fan of the planked wall look. Love your beautiful walls!

Planked walls for the win! It's looking great, Sherry!
Oh my gosh, that glam table mixed with plank walls - only you my friend!! It is SO good!
As usual, it's a looker! Can't wait to see the table...well everything. Impatient B
Holy moly where on earth/in my house can I do that to my walls?! And in my favorite shade of white. Love it!!
I'm in love! It's looking so great already!
I love the 'imperfections' Sherry!!!! And my, those door, love the glossy paint color you chose and I cant wait to see what that Lucite thing is? Buffet perhaps? So excited!
I can already tell this is going to be one amazing room. Also, can you share the door color? I want to be you.
Oh, those planks are just perfection! And you know how I feel about the lucite. You can't ever regret getting that. Seriously. You know if you didn't I would have!
My word, it's all so fabulous. Then you add a lucite dining table. Stop. It. Now.
What a transformation this will be, I'm thinking you'll be getting this one published too!

Ooooh, I am loving those French doors in that gray. I am already jealous of the new DR table.
the boards look so amazing. I love, love the look. And the color of that grey door is perfection.
I have said it before, it's like we are in the same bunkhouse at camp and the counselor has left for the evening. Let the games begin. This is so good, I want it all over my home, too. Hope your CL table sells.
Loving it all so far, can't wait to see the finished product!!
Everything looks so beautiful. I cannot wait to see the rest of that little lucite peek at the end. FUN!!
I love the walls, and those doors are fabulous!! Now I'm dying to see more of that lovely Lucite!
XOXO,

So glad you left it without caulking, the look is perfection. And bringing the planks into the living room entryway makes you dining room look so much bigger. Genius. And don't even get me started on your doors! Love!
Those walls are incredible and I want them sooooo badly! I am also pretty sure I want that lucite table and I can't wait to hear the backstory :)
Love the planked walls and the gray doors - this is quite the transformation.
Those wall are so perfect in there. And your sneak peek is killing me. So gorgeous!
Your room looks FABULOUS! Love those plank walls with an eggshell finish.
Well, of course I love it! You've got me thinking about planked walls in my dining room too!! Looks fantastic.

That table?! No fair. Get it in my house NOW. In love with your boards and those gray doors. I don't have one speck of gray in my house and now I want every door gray.
I can't wait to see that table - the base is to die for. As is everything else in the room. Love every little thing!

wishing you warmth and deep roots!

LOVING it!!
OMG! The planked walls are ridiculous. Wondering where I can do this in my house. And you're killing me with the teaser.
Wow, this is beautiful! It might be one of my favorites yet! Can't wait to see the finished product!
I love this so much I can barely take it! You are killing me on that sneak peek! I would ADORE a planked room. Hope you move the old table this week -- the sale gods be with you!
Ok looking amazing!! I'm actually planking our kitchen backsplash! I love your style and all your decorating choices so I can't wait to see the finish project!!
you had me at plank wall. the end. :)
Sherry I love what you are creating here...and agree part of the fun of these challenges is the exciting differences in design aesthetics!

I can't wait for next week's installment. I love the gray doors and the planked walls.
I adore those planked walls and you can't ever go wrong with White Dove. Can't wait to see the rest!!
Love the plank walls. I'm getting ready to remodel a den and the plank walls just might be in my future....
I love the color on the doors. What paint color did you use? Great room!
I can't stop staring at your walls!!! LOVE! And the doors look great as well. I thought it couldn't get better and now you are going to throw some lucite awesomeness in here!? Shut the grey door!!!
LOVE what you've done here!! You too with this blasted weather?! O_o hubby spent all day out there with the soil,, and then put some seeds in, and yep! Temp dropped on us the next day.. we're hoping they're all ok! Good luck! :D
LOVE the boards--genius! And your casual approach to them--as far as I can tell, that must be the only sane way to go about it. And I, too, am saying AYFKM even though I'm not doing any major renos. Looking gooooood over there! ;-/
AMAZING!!!! I'm gonna be in Maine all of next week seeing where I can copy your walls. You are the best of the best!
This looks much more like you than the other wall treatment. Love it! And the paint colors are gorgeous together!!
