One Room Challenge - Week Two

Good Morning Y’all.  Thank you for joining me on the One Room Challenge journey!  Unfamiliar with ORC?  It is the brain-child of bloggess Linda from Calling it Home fame.  Twice a year she hosts a six-week boot camp challenge for twenty amazing bloggers to completely overhaul one room.  Progress is reported each Wednesday.  This year, she decided to add a linking party for those of us that want to participate from home.  Yours truly is one of the 70+ masochists bloggers that are participating!  Want to catch up?  See the Week One posts here.

So this week I’m supposed to have a plan for my master bedroom. Guess I should get started on that, right? 

Let’s begin by revisiting my inspiration image, the much-coveted Oly Studio bedroom.

The awesome thing about this room is the contrasting colors that sing together.  The coral and green play so nicely.  And that bold leaf print is amazing; however the art is available from Oly for about $6,500 each.  So NOT going to happen.  Instead, let’s bring that feeling in using fabric.

And, of course, I have to throw a wild card in there, right?

 Let's combine them all together and see what we come up with, shall we?

I cannot wait to show you some progress I've made in the room.  And discuss the challenges I've already encountered.  Be sure to check out the other linking participants here and the ORC goddesses here.
