One Room Challenge - Week Six

Hello and welcome to Week Six of the One Room Challenge.  You know what that means?  Today is reveal day!  If you're new here, the One Room Challenge is the baby of Linda from Calling it Home.  She gives 20 bloggers six weeks to completely makeover a room in their homes.  You should definitely check out the amazing transformations from the ORC. This year, Linda decided to hold a linking party for those of us that want to play along.  To catch up on my room, you can read about week one, week two, week three, week four and week five.

I am so excited and not a little nervous to share with you my new master bedroom.

Do you like it?  I certainly hope so!  In all honesty, I have been hinting at a huge DIY for the space that did not get completed due to shipping errors (three (!?!) times).  As soon as it is done I will be sure to show you updated shots.

The ORC was a wonderful experience and I hope to participate again.  Thank you so much to Linda for hosting and rallying each week.  Thank you to Jennifer from The Pink Pagoda for the awesome ORC button.  And mostly, thank you to each of you for coming each week to check in.  Be sure to go and visit the other linking bloggers.  You won't be disappointed!

If you are interested in sources, leave me a comment and I'll be sure to post them soon.

xoxo,

Haters Gonna Hate

Good Morning Y’all.  Thank you so much for your nice comments on Week Five of the ORC LinkingParty.  Sorry for being sneaky and only giving you teasers.  That’s just how I roll.

So, while sourcing finds for my room, I came across a ton of shizzle at a place I normally scoff.  Have you checked out Kirkland’s website lately?  I had written them off years ago as being filled with bad safari prints and faux magnolias.  But then I saw this:

Gold Splendor Table Lamp (imagine this with a black shade!)



Seriously?  Kirkland’s?  Granted, you still have to wade through your fair share of Kirkland’s-esque nonsense, but I’d happily do that to find a diamond in the rough.  Let’s take a look at some of my favorites, m'kay?

Now I feel kind of bad for being a hater.

Monterrey Candle Holder

Well, maybe not.

One Room Challenge - Week Five

Good Morning Y’all!  Welcome to Week 5 of the One Room Challenge.  Unfamiliar with this cruel method of torture?  Linda, from Calling it Home goodness, selects 20 bloggers to participate in a 6-week One Room Challenge to completely re-do a room in their homes.  Each week they report progress for viewers to ooh and ahh over.  This year, Linda decided to offer a Linking party for those of us that want to play along.  I am deranged enough to join the fun and am re-doing my master bedroom.  Click to see Week One, Week,Two, Week Three and Week Four. 

During week four I shared with you my premium photoshop skills.  I know, I know.  You’re welcome.  I was thinking that I was kicking ass and taking names.  Then today rolls around and as I type Week Five I am thinking holyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshit.

This week a few things have happened.  Some art has been hung.

 

As have the curtains and bamboo shades.

 

 

 

Some pillows have been made.

 

 

 

Let’s look at my to-do list for the challenge:

·         Make Curtains

·         Buy/hang bamboo shades

·         Get dresser

·         Figure out lighting

·         Art

·         Make pillows

·         Paint headboard

·         Make bedskirt

·         Paint and upholster stools

·         Get round mirror

·         Clean room

·         Rug

·         Decorate

·         Keep kids & dogs out of my room long enough to photograph

·         TV cabinet

This is THE. LAST. WEEK.  And, let me just say, it isn’t really a full week.  Really, in order for me to photograph everything in good light and edit, I’ve got to finish this weekend.  Which gives me only a few more days.  holyshitholyshitholyshitholyshitholyshit

Especially since I have gotten a wild hair and have decided to attempt a MONUMENTAL diy for the room.  Because I am a fruitcake  a masochist  AWESOME.  Here is a sneak peek.

 

 

 

Yep, that’s all you’re gonna get until next week.  Same time, same place.  Be sure to check out the ORC posse here.  And the linkers here.

Y'all I am just SUPER honored...

I was recently asked to be featured on GritStyle.com as part of their "We Adore:  Southern Bloggers" feature.  Let me tell you, I was giddy when they asked.  Not only do I follow their every move on Instagram @gritstyle, but I also *adore* their website.  Seriously, check out the goodness they have to offer...

Daydreaming

Good Morning Y’all.    I hope that you are having a great day!  Mine is cat poop.  Seriously.  So, I figured that I would look at pretty things to make me feel better.  Unfortunately, looking at pretty things generally leads to new projects for the house.  Natch.

 

Here is my house. 

 

 
 

She is in desperate need of help.  And I keep thinking that help needs to begin with paint.    Now, stop gasping.  Everyone freaks out when you mention painting brick or wood.  Let’s look at some inspiration images, shall we?

 

 

 

 

See, that wasn’t so scary, was it?  Granted, I realize these houses are much grander than mine.  I was just too lazy to look for pictures of dumb houses like mine.

And...Back by popular demand is my mad photoshop skills.  Let’s see what she would look like with a little makeup on. 

 

 

Better, I think.  What do you think?  Do you think I’d be crazy to paint my brick?  Do you think I ought to finish unpacking the inside first?  Yeah, me too.  But a girl can dream.
