How I got to this finish line is almost a miracle. I mean not one like Moses parting the red sea or anything but still a tough one around these parts:)
All my clients hate me right now.....I'm pretty sure I gained 10 lbs by the way my jeans are fitting....my house is a mess and there is no food in my fridge.
Things are pretty bleak around here.
Do I wish I had one more week....#hellyeah.
All complaining aside these are exciting times....today you will see the reveals of 20 designers and bloggers who have had 6 weeks to finish up one project.
I am going to keep my comments brief showing before and afters so you don't have to go back and forth! Friday I will give you all the details!

My sister is thrilled with her new space and the fact that there were so many sponsors [thanks to Linda for all of her hard work on that end....I owe you girl!] really helped to pull this off.
I also have to thank my sister Maggie [the Bunny] for all of her help:) It was definitely a family affair!
Sudi.....you worked miracles with what I gave you for curtains....love you girl.

Hello Celerie....you'll need to append your Black & White book for this fantastic space!!!! Sherry it's beautiful!!!!! Every single inch is gorgeous.
Sherry,
It's just stunning and so peaceful. You knocked this one out of the park.
I can't get over the white floors, light walls and that amazing urbane bronze on the built ins. It doesn't even look like the same space.
All the new furniture and accessories just mix beautifully.
Now, go get yourself a pedicure (compliments of your sis) and sit back to enjoy all that you've created.
Seriously, to outdo yourself every ORC. How is that possible??
I'm saving my pennies, so I can hire you one day. That is, hoping you'd come OOP for me.

I can not believe my eyes..Do you realize you transformed SEVERAL rooms, not just one? and They are all TO DIE FOR!!
I have looked over several of the other challenges and I have to say in my opinion (not that you ask) you had the largest project with the best results... Hoping this is published somewhere. Whew ! Im exhausted just thinking about a the work. You DID good gurl.... MANY CONGRATS, big Hugs!
You biggest fan EVER... xoxo
Sherry, Just gorgeous! Have to say, of all the participants' posts, yours is the one I anxiously read each week. You have a such a talent for making spaces perfectly beautiful yet absolutely home! Just Inspiring!! Get some rest~
It looks amazing! You did a fabulous job pulling it all together!
Sherry, can you be my sister? You are always spot on, the room must be a dream come true for your sister. Love it all. Congrats, you are one amazing designer.
You have seriously BLOWN MY MIND WITH THIS!!!!! Holy shizzle...I don't even know where to start. I guess the most important thing to note is that you have completely and totally transformed this space...like every square inch of it. This is massive!!!! Wow. Ok...composing myslef. My favourite, favourite, favourite part is the round table nook with the half black walls- I'm seriously obsessed with that vignette and am so inspired by it. Adore the mix of the wood with the check table cloth and the pillows on the wood chair- gah...it's just so ridiculously perfect. I love how you've managed to completely change the feel of the entire space. Now it seems so modern urban Scandanavian farmhouse and I LOVE that. You've just really done something amazing here Sherry...so so sooooooooo good!
Sherry, This is FABULOUS!!!!! What a great job. The space is so beautiful and much more functional. Congratulations!
Ivy
Wow Sherry...what a transformation! AMAZING. I am so impressed and love your humor too.....wish I had more time to catch up but glad i did not miss this one1
"Shazam!" should be your signature on that one!
WOW WOW WOW....AMAZING!!! I just love everything you do.
You MIGHT have gained ten pounds, but the room surely lost ten pounds. It feels so light and bright and peaceful and serene. Gorgeous!! I love it! Nice work!
Beautiful job.
What a world of difference. From the 80s right into the 21st Century, so beautiful! Good job, no great job!
Sherry, this is an absolutely stunning transformation! Congrats on another extremely successful ORC!! You have amazing talent and I love seeing you work! Cheers!
Wow, wow Sherry! You have done it again girl! So many beautiful details and I cannot tell you how inspired I am. Way to hit it out of the park again friend! xoxo Cyndy
Wowza!! I think it may be one of your best ORC's. You have one very lucky sister!!
Sherry! I LOVE this. I never doubted you and this is an epic transformation. One of my favorite parts is the gallery wall with the black frames. Just perfect. You rocked it, girl. Enjoy being done!
Will you adopt me and make me your next ORC? Outstanding! Love seeing the progress and the final product! Amazing transformation.
Sherry, as always you have done a truly spectacular job. Such a lovely transformation--congrats!
wow. wow. wow. love it sherry!! it's gorgeous.
The transformation is incredible! Everything looks amazing! Would you mind sharing the source of the pair of slipcovered chairs?
Holy Jesus! This space looks so incredible, I don't even know where to start! Well done - now go for a massage.
Wow Sherry talk about transformations! The spaces are incredibly bright & fresh and as always your mix of patterns and textures is totally on point! Bunny must be jazzed!!
Just lovely. So many details to love. I'm crazy for all the pillows. Congratulations!!!
What a great makeover!! I love every detail. Please include your source for the fig leaf plant! I've been searching high & low.
I adore the half black, half white walls! Amazing!!!
Fantastic job Sherry! That is quite the transformation. Love your great mix of high and low. Congrats on another awesome ORC!
WOW! I always love to see your projects and this might be my favorite one! This space looks AMAZING!

Simple beautiful. What a cozy room. I love the transformation. Job well done!
Incredible....now it's looks so current and not old lady looking anymore. Job well done!
I can't tell you how much I love every room makeover that you do. An ASTOUNDING before and after - just love it!!
Love love love that monochromatic gallery wall, and the texture of your new backsplash is downright delicious! There's such an easy elegance to the space overall. Beautiful work! xx
Wonderful transformation!
Can I move in with your sister? Love it! You've done it again! Can't wait for all the details Friday. What are you doing with the old stools....love the new ones but love the back on the old ones.
Holy mother. Your sister is one lucky woman! The space is absolutely incredible!!! I always look forward to your rooms on these ORC's. When you run out of family members to do makeovers on you can get ahold of me ;)
Bravo! Love the space. It's so cozy and inviting. Great job!
I knew this would be brilliant and it is! I love the breakfast/reading nook with the gingham table cloth and paint treatment on the walls. And your styling is on point as per usual. What a transformation. Your sister must be thrilled!
Beautiful!!! I love the neutral palette - it's so timeless and classic. Phenomenal. I'm with you on the house being a wreck and no food in the fridge - eating out again tonight I'm afraid... Love this challenge, but boy, it kills me!
What a transformation! Bravo!
Great job! I love the cafe curtains.
Sherry - you went above and beyond! It is an incredible transformation - beautiful! Your sister is so lucky. I bet she's keeping her fingers crossed, hoping you'll do the rest of her house for the next ORC!
i mean, what can i say that hasn't been said? you kill it every time! love it!
This is so special and gorgeous. You are a wonderful sister.
How are you still standing?! You didn't make over a ROOM, you made over a HOUSE!!! It's incredible, and I could not love it more!!!! The fabrics and textures are just perfection. Your sister is a lucky gal!!!
I want to be your be sister! Its all beautiful!
Oh my word girl this is flipping GORGEOUS!! It's like 5 or 6 challenges in ONE!!! You pulled everything together beautifully and I am SO inspired by your work!
It's all so beautiful! Well done! I can't get over all that you accomplished. I love especially how you styled it all. The fabric used on the skirted table was the same fabric I used for my bridesmaids skirts! I saw it at an interior fabric store and bought it all! Love it. Wish I had some now for my own skirted table. Congrats and cheers to a job well done! xox, Emily
You rocked this one - I love every single detail. What a huge transformation. I wish you were MY sister!
Great job :)
Another ORC in the books and your knocked it out of the park as usual! This is one of those spaces I'm going to have to look at like 100 times because there are so many great elements!! It's absolutely great! You're always one of my favorites!!
What an amazing transformation! I love the classic black and white palette - so chic!
OMG I love everything! Even my husband who notices nothing, loves everything! If I didn't have a restaurant, I would never leave the house! Thank you Sherry Jackson Hart!!!!!
WOW WOW WOW, Sherry! Incredible transformation! Everything looks FANTASTIC! xo
This is amazing! I love the colors you used and all of the wall art. Gorgeous!
Hi Sherry -- It's beautiful! I wish I had a sister who would do this for me! I particularly love your pillows. What do you call that kind of trim? They look fabulous, and so well finished!
Sherry, you accomplish so much in a mere 6 weeks! Amazing makeovers! I love all the beautiful pieces you picked.
Jessie
Woah! THIS ROOM IS SPECTACULAR! Yep...that needed to be in all caps. Seriously, it's amazing. I want it all.
You are so talented....like 'C'mon, seriously?' talented. So many ideas I'd love to 'borrow'. You are ALWAYS the best when it comes to the ORC. Your spaces are more beautiful and - more importantly - still
LIVABLE than all the others. You make your spaces about your clients and not about you. Bravo. Again.
Barbara
Absolutely stunning in every way! Know you're exhausted by what a darn good job!
Love that you did this for your sister! Your blog is my favorite. I love what you do and you make me laugh! Great job!
You nailed it!
This is my absolute favorite of all time!! You worked miracles - what a lucky sister you have! Wonderful!
Let me be the 974th person to send congratulations, by the boat load your way! You brought the bunny out of the rabbit hole! Absolutely stunning!
Those pops of black are ON POINT! Seriously, perfection! And no wonder that was so stressful, you basically redid like 4 spaces with this "one room" makeover! Get it gurrrrrrl! xoxo
This room looks fantastic. It is an amazing transformation.
Amazing transformation! So beautiful!
Gorgeous transformation! Your sister must be thrilled! I love all the beautiful details, the black, the neutrals...and that is the exact Karastan rug I have been eyeing up for my family room! So nice to see it in a beautiful space! I am so inspired by your talent!
Shelley
I am so impressed!!! You really took on a TON for this makeover and it turned out brilliantly. I love that it still feels really cozy and a bit rustic (like the original) but you've taken it in a way more modern direction. Kudos!
YOU ACCOMPLISHED SOOOOO MUCH!!! Hats off to your Sherry, you should be very proud. This looks fantastic, like a room you would want to entertain in. GREAT JOB!
Simply amazing and stunningly beautiful Sherry! What a chic yet comfortable and cozy space for your sister and her family to enjoy.
Fabulous!
You're nothing short of a miracle worker, Sherry! I can't gush enough about what an amazing change this is and how fresh and modern your sister's home looks now. And the trim on the curtains--seriously. Gorgeous!
Sherry! I am dying over your room! I was able to see a sneak of it on Instagram this morning before I started painting. I just knew it would be amazing! I LOVE your use of black and white with several neutral tones. I'm such a fan. Congratulations!
dang, it's beautiful!
I feel like I'm looking at a totally different house. You kill it EVERY SINGLE TIME! Love the new look so much. You did an amazing job.
OMG this showcases just how truly fabulous you are at what you do. The transformation is absolutely nothing short of amazing. Your sister must be in seventh heaven. I am pinning this baby like crazy!!
FABULOUS!!! I see a reality show in your future! What a transformation!
First, can you adopt someone as a sister? Because I'd like to propose myself... Wowwwww!!! I love seeing how you re-used pieces and modernized what your sister already had. Not to mention the sheer gorgeousness of all the new things together. Now I'm off to read the followup post and learn more. (think about the sister-adoption thing) :)
As expected, another FABULOUS transformation Sherry!!!!!! Love every little detail in this space!
Sherry!!! This is amazing! OMG you put so much hard work into this. It looks so bright and beautiful! I love your color palette, fabric choices and new room set-up. My favorite corner is the one with the skirted round table! I would spend all my afternoons there playing board games. Beautiful job!! I can't believe you accomplished all this in 6 weeks!
xx
I love this makeover!! Probably one of my favorite so far. Do you mind if I ask where you got the planter that you have your fiddle leaf in? Great job to you guys for getting so much done in such a short amount of time, and that brush stroke lamp is to die for!

This is my favorite of all the challenges. You totally banished the 80s!!! I love the black and white, your use of the awkward layout, the freshness of it all. Well done!!
Home Depot!
Another ORC home run! What a vast improvement. My favorite corner is the skirted table sitch as well as the white wing back against the darkened bookshelves. I've said it before, and I will say it again, wish I was one of your sisters. They get all the goods!
Sherry:
You might have answered this, but I must have missed it...would you mind sharing the source for the living room chairs? Love them & the transformation!
Thanks! Cory

WOW Sherry,
It came out beautiful!! Thanks, Robin
Wow Sherry, what a transformation! I love the before and after comparison. You really made major impact with paint, that chandlier, and of course I love Jana Bek brush stroke lamp! I don't know how you were able to so much in 6 weeks? BAVO to a job well done my friend! XOXO, Sarah
Of course, I saw it bright and early on reveal day :) but I'm just now getting back to officially proclaim my awe at your incredible style!! Girl, you are the queen of neutral, textural, awesomeness and knock it out every! single! time! I couldn't love it more, BIG congrats!
OH MY GOSH! How do you do that!?? When i saw your facebook post mentioning it, i couldn't get over here fast enough. I love the way you "hid" the tv by painting the cabinets, the color is perfect, and what a great sofa! The little nook with the round table is perfect and the entry, omg... that mirror with the cabinet under it in the raw looking wood look like a million dollar makeover!
Cindy
What a huge transformation!
Such an gorgeous transformation. So many great textures and patterns, yet so soothing at the same time. I love your touch!! Lucky lucky sisters :)
I quickly zoomed through the "reveal rooms" when they were posted but I was still charging to the finish line (staying up all night) to finish my own ORC. I have now gone back and reallllly looked at your room in detail, studied it really, and it is just stunning from the white floors to all of the small details and everything between. I love it all, white floors, the deep color on the walls, fabrics, curtain trim, etc. It's amazing!!! And being an Atlanta area gal I'm hoping to try the restaurant as well!!
Marcie
gorgeous use of space, and i love how you stuck to your color palette in all the spaces. lovely job!
You have got some great posts in your blog. Keep up with the good work.

The change is amazing! I’m most impressed by the vision where you painted some but not all of the wood kitchen cabinets. I love how the bit of brown looks so warm with the black and white and actually makes the wood look more modern. Same with the granite countertops. Anyone else would have said they had to go, no way to make them work. You not only kept them out of a landfill, kept to a budget and showed us how to make them fabulous again. Brava!!
