ONE ROOM CHALLENGE 2016 REVEAL





Alrighty then.....that's a wrap.

Pencils down.....the buzzer went off.....whatever isn't finished means you better fake it when taking your pictures right:)

Another One Room Challenge in the can....Linda can take the summer off while planning for the fall edition!  Hopefully you are here because you know what the ORC is.....20 designers and 6 weeks to finish a room makeover.   On Thursday's there are about 250 of us crazies riding the coattails and linking up!

I think we should get straight to it cause I could babble on for a while but y'all would already be scrolling down to the pictures right?

The beginning.....
Ha Ha...not really.....but dang it is so good when you have  the worst "before"!

Ok....before the room was actually dismantled!



After

The whole room was planked with 1/2 " plywood and painted BM White Dove. It's very rustic meaning no caulking or anything.

Before

After
The the stripe duvet is from Ikea!
The white pillow with the rope cording is from Target.



I purchased the chair from Scott's years ago.  The black and white dot pillow in it is from Target.








Design secret.....when you are flat out of accessories.....throw a hat on it:)

Moving on.....before


After
Mirror from HomeGoods.....




I am in love with the Pottery Barn gold lamps and nightstands.  



The vase is from Target....Rhino and bowl under the drawer from HomeGoods.




Before....this is the angle you see when you stand in the doorway...



The curtains were ready mades from Pottery Barn that we had small pleats put in.  Rods from Target.

This is the before of the wing chair.

I found that small wood stool at HomeGoods for 49.00!  Major score....

Pillow from World Market!

You can see the Schumacher wallpaper peeking out!



 Before of the dormers....


Hard to get a good shot in this area....

I had to take all the pictures and when there is a window involved it's above my pay grade to get a good shot.  Grrrrr.


 Before of the bookcases....

After

I call this bookcase styling "lite".....keeping it clean and uncluttered.

Bunny whipped up all of the art and the lamp and faux succulent came from Target.  I just folded up some blankets for texture.


Bookcases painted SW Urbane Bronze



Finished!

I still had fun and huge thanks to "Bunny" cause she filled in all the holes for me by expediting, making the art and getting the room ready to install!  She is thrilled and her daughter called from NYC and said she wanted the whole room shipped up to her!

I laugh when I look at my past ORC post and realize that almost every room has these colors in it!  Crikey.....it seems like am I one dimensional!   

Thanks Linda for urging me to link up:)

Excited to see all of the reveals from yesterday of the 20 designers and start reading through the linking participates this weekend!

No rest.....so much to do to help get the Kitchen Of The Year ready for it's big day this weekend:)

ORC UPDATE




I have participated in 3 One Room Challenges and I went in kicking and screaming all 3 times.  Yes....I am THAT person.

I commit and then get anxious about doing it....you know 
will I be able to finish
what if I do a crappy job
what if they hate it

blah blah blah.  
#demons 
#insecurities 
#creativity is subjective 
#budget constraints 
#time constraints
#pressure

Then it's over and I am all excited thinking that wasn't so bad.  

Like the time I rollerbladed 84 miles in one day from Athens to Atlanta.  In the rain.  During....pure HELL.  
After....fun!


It's always the unknown that gets me going.

Today Linda, our fearless leader, is having a "where are they now" party.  You know is the room fat and bald?

I am happy to say that the first room I did has not changed.


Do you remember how I blogged about it even before I asked my client if she would be OK with my plan?

 
Thankfully she was a real sport:)


Any way the second ORC was my own guest room and I am proud to declare that I have not changed this room at all.  Not even a pillow.

SHOCKING right!


I think it's because I don't have to look at it everyday and tear it down in my mind.


The third ORC was for my sister's family room

How the room looked 25 years ago when she moved in....

To this


Before

After

And it has not been changed either!

Jump over to Calling It Home and see who has changed their rooms....

Today is paperwork day for me....I think I would rather have a root canal.  No never mind that is a total lie.  But then again drugs are involved.  Still....no.
