Welcome back to Week 4 (four already?!?!?!) of the {One Room Challenge}! Before we dive in, I was glad to hear you’re on the puffer vest bandwagon with me…especially since you’ll likely be seeing a lot of them around here in the coming months!
Now…back to the Dining Room. Let’s recap for those popping in for the first time, we chose the Dining Room for our third round of the ORC (see our Master Bedroom here and Living Room here), which happens to be the first room you see when walking in the house…and is positioned directly across from our little jewel box of a Living Room.
Week 1 I shared how the room looked when we bought it, along with the floor and paint updates, Week 2 was all about the design, plans and project list, and last week we talked wallpaper, drapes and tying the open floorplan together.
You bet your boots I hired it out…no way I was going to risk ruining that stunning paper…nor my sanity…by trying to hang it myself! And it was worth every single penny…Laura did an amazing job hanging the paper (no mess or smell, and she did the entire room in a day!) DFW peeps, email me if you want her contact info.
So good, right?! Don’t worry, the gray walls are going buh-bye.
I grabbed my treasured Juniper Briggs print off the wall, and tested it against the wallpaper…hello, perfect!
I immediately contacted Juniper, and crossed all my fingers and toes that she had a piece that would work in my room. But after seeing the design board, she felt inspired to create a commissioned piece specific for the room! #pinchme She sent me this progress shot, and I’m already in love!
On to the deliveries…one day it was these ginormous boxes, which held the most stunning purple lamps. Yes, purple.
And remember we went out of town for a few days…well the babysitter was exposed to the craziness that is ORC…we came home to all this.
Which held these gorgeous, and amazingly sturdy, ghost chairs…eight of them, to be exact.
A few gallons of paint and a saucy leopard rug…
For some nut-ball reason, I decided to include the Foyer in this makeover fun…so that orange door needs addressing, and you can see the new rug size in play. #itsleopard #andamazing And no, I’m not decorating for Christmas early, that mistletoe may or may not be left over from last year’s home tour.
And now that the wallpaper is up, I’ve also got to choose and order a rug for the Dining Room! My assistant, per usual, is no help. Although, I think her vote is for leopard.
So much for thinking we’d made good progress!! Is it me, or is that project list growing?!?! #sendwine #andhelpers
