Welcome back to Week 4 of the {One Room Challenge}. We are officially on the backside of this thing, and my palms are seriously sweaty. Lots of things arrived this week, but not a lot actually got done. So basically the UPS man did all the work.
Let’s recap for those just popping in, or had a memory lapse….we recently moved, so I had a whole house of rooms from which to choose for the ORC, but Mr. SP and I decided to put ourselves first this time (as opposed to last, like our previous home)…so I’m tackling our Master Bedroom!
Week One I showed the Before shots and room dimensions…and Week Two was all about the Design and Floor Plan. Last week I revealed our crossover to the dark side, and I was thrilled to hear ya’ll are swooning over the dark walls with me!
Okay, now that we’re all on the same page…let’s get after Week Four! Starting with the biggest change…the new Linden Black Duvet & Shams from Crane & Canopy. I know it’s popular with bloggers, but it’s just that good! I wanted the bedding to feel clean, yet dramatic, and also serve as a canvas for the rest of the fabrics. #doneanddone
If you recall from the original mood board, my plan included two white-washed nightstands. Then they sold out, with a backorder date of May 15. Normally that would be okay, but this isn’t normal. This is One Week Challenge! #6weeksbaby
I’ll admit I got a little panicky, and my voice may have bordered on shrill when I realized I needed a Plan B. But Mr. SP said, ‘How about some wood to mix up all the padded stuff you have going?’
That’s guy speak for, ‘Warm wood tones would be a nice balance to all the upholstered pieces in the room.’
And just like his idea for the Kitchen backsplash tile, the man was right. The wood looks amazing next to the dark walls, and adds warmth and texture.
Tip: Don’t limit yourself to just nightstands beside the bed. These beauties from Wayfair are actually consoles. Had we needed more storage, I would have opted for chests with a full bank of drawers.
More deliveries arrived in the form of throw pillows! Could you just die over this combo?!
I’m still undecided where everything will end up, but I love where it’s going!
Why have basic white when you can sleep on pink flamingos?! I think all rooms should have something quirky and unexpected…to keep from taking itself too seriously.
Tip: Use a solid fitted sheet to cover exposed box springs.
The other side of the bed is flanked by a console table as well. I’m not usually one for matched sets, but I love the clean symmetry of coordinated or matching nightstands. I’m still playing musical blue chair, but you all made it pretty clear it needs to live in this room.
My makeshift desk moved to the other side of the room, and is still waiting to be addressed.
This week’s hiccup is with the mirrors….we brought them home, only to discover the finishes are completely different. Back it goes for another one with the same aged finish.
I’m still playing with the sitting area, but am already cuckoo for the throw (Happy Habitat) and pillow situation. I found the little side table from Ross for $20!! #howyoulikethemapples It might need a coat of paint…we’ll see.
The final delivery of the week was the drapery panels. Holy wow…I can’t even deal with how stunningly perfect Tonic Living made them!! I’ve never owned professionally sewn, lined, and pleated drapes!! I’m both anxious and petrified to hang them.
I guess we had more progress than I realized…I’m just focused on how much more there is to do! Linda, can I file an extension please?!
What’s your favorite delivery from Week 4?
Oh my goodness, love the flamingo sheets! Wish I needed some so I could order them!
I'm waaaayyyyy too excited about your malachite pillows. How fab is the green with the black and white? Redoing my own bedroom in a few months, will file that away in the old memory bank.

It's coming together! Love seeing the long Orangerie lumbar on your bed. Your pillow combo choice is on point. Thanks for letting me be a part of it! And the drapes are fun … looking forward to seeing them hung!
I just came across your blog recently and am having so much fun reading it! You have such great posts and I'm looking forward to following you.
Have a great day!

I MUST have those drapes!! Oh my MAUDE those are to die for!!
Yes, those fabrics are definitely to die for! And, I'm going to need to know more about that throw… LOVE another good b/w option besides my Ikea striped one. Great choice to bring in the wood tones!
Pillows and drapes are my faves!!!
That malachite pillow!
It looks REALLY good! Loving those drapes — lined and pleated — perfection. Can't wait to see them up.
SO good, girl! I can't wait until you get those mirrors up and the textiles in the space.
Love how the space is coming along! Really makes me want to pull the trigger on dark moody walls in the bedroom 🙂 I'm also a fan of the console tables but I'm a freak about seeing cords…Will you be able to find a way to hide them? It's probably just my neurosis but it's all I see when I look at the pictures of the side tables :-/
Pillows and drapes for the win! Love your boldness with all of this and can't wait to see it continue to take shape!
Love your progress Cassie!! Obviously lusting over those pillows. Really love the contrast of the nightstands against the black walls. So excited for this reveal!!! **lots of emoji clap signs**
Gorgeous!! How fun are those sheets?! Love the dark walls and all the pattern on the pillows. 🙂
I do the same for my boxsprings! luv luv luv the malachite pillows!
i love the bedding with the black trim! xo jillian – cornflake dreams
I love the idea of covering the box springs with a fitted sheet! What a great tip!
This is looking SO GOOD! I got my Orangerie pillow for the ORC from Hollie, too. Isn't she the best?! Those Wisteria mirrors have been on my lust list forever- so exciting! Can't wait to see, love!
This is absolutely gorgeous! I always worried dark walls would look too cold in a bedroom, but this look so perfectly combines elegance and warmth. Beautiful colors and textures. Amazing!
The nightstands are beautiful! They look great with the rest of the room!
Those fabrics!! The cushions!! All yes – just lots of yessssses from me! 😉 xx
I LOVE your pillow combination and have been dying to bring some Orangerie into my home as well – so pretty! Can I file that extension to Linda with you? 🙂 Good luck in getting everything done! Although it looks like you are well on your way.
Those pillows are all amazing!
LOVE the bedding you chose and yes, those luscious pillows are all divine!
Is that a textured coverlet you put under the duvet and ABOVE the flamingos? Love how it looks!
GAH – those fabrics!! This is so much fun over here, no unfinished DIYs piled all over the room! Looking lovely, Cassie!
Your choices are spot on! I have faith in you. You got this 🙂
So much good going on in there, my dear! I love the sheets…adorable! And the draperies are ridiculous in the best sense of the word! I want to do dark walls in our bedroom too…navy with black and white in the room. Seeing yours underway makes me want to get started…and toss in a lot more color! Love it!
The space is looking gorgeous, love the mix of pillows & the consoles are a perfect fit for your nights stands!
Am I the only one who thinks the bed looks kinda sloppy?
Love all your splashes of fun colors and what about those pink flamingo sheets?!! Who knew Martha Stewart could be whimsical??!! Will have to totally check those out!
I'm loving where you're going with this room! It's shaping up so classy and yet so fun. I, too, wonder (like a previous comment) about the nightstand lamp cords just because I always like to hide them in my house. I'm thinking you can wind them up behind your nightstand and tape them in place on the backside and then come down from the center to the outlet. That would work because your cords are dark like your walls. Just an idea! Janie
Whoa girl…this is going to be a big girl room!!! Those curtains are going to kill me against the dark walls! You have gotten so much done including those great nightstands and of course THE PILLOWS!
I'm loving your room! I want those drapes something fierce! Where'd you get the coverlet on your bed?
Love the bedding and the flamingo sheets are awesome! Clever idea using the consoles as nightstands, though in my house that would just mean more room for water glasses haha.
Looking for the bottom pillows – plain with a border. Help?
