One Room Challenge: Week Two
21

Welcome to week two of the One Room Challenge!!! Woop woop!! In case you missed it, here’s what happened last week.

You know, there’s nothing like a deadline to really get your butt in gear when it comes to decorating. Although I have a long way to go (i.e. fabrics to finalize, large pieces of furniture still need to be delivered, bedding to buy), here’s what I got done last week:

1.My super painted my room. I ended up choosing many of your recommendations, Behr’s Blue Me Away and I have to say, I’m literally obsessed!!! This picture below doesn’t really do it justice. The baby blue is not too light and not too dark – exactly what I was looking for and looks beautiful during all hours of the day. We will just have to wait for the professional photos for the color to truly reflect in photos…

2. My curtains are finally hung! I opted for Pottery Barn’s White Linen drapes paired with West Elm’s Antiqued Brass curtain rod. #winning.

3. My new LG Smart TV is hung (and yes that is my baby TV I was using for 4 years prior…) #notwinning

4. My Gray Malin came!!! Talk about a great mail day. I can’t wait to show you this beauty.

Bedroom Update

Ok, so after writing this it doesn’t seem like all that much got done but it feels like an accomplishment in my book!  My super painting my bedroom is a major win in and of itself. I always say he is my New York City Dad!! I’m just glad I didn’t have to resort to Craigslist or task rabbit to get this done.

Anywhoooo.

Below is a little inspiration board of pieces that I have left on my wish list for this challenge. Insert West Elm’s Mid-Century Desk, Serena and Lily’s Montara Mirror, Dash and Albert Fair Isle Woven Rug, Crow’s Nest Inspired Pillows and wanderlust beach photography. If my bedroom doesn’t reflect me at this point in my life, I don’t know what will!

 

 

 

Be sure to check in with the other One Room Challenge participants right this way and check in next week to see my progress! Hoping to have some more major updates by then – FINGERS CROSSED.
