Hi everyone!  If you're novel hither to follow along amongst the challenge, welcome!  I'm hence glad you're here.  

It is amongst a bully bargain of excitement as well as an equal amount of fright that I boot off my projection for the One Room Challenge today.  This is my showtime fourth dimension to participate, as well as I'm afraid I don't know what I'm inwards for!  If you're novel to the ORC, it's a challenge to pattern as well as consummate a infinite inwards only half dozen weeks.  There are many abode as well as pattern bloggers participating, as well as it's hence much fun to encounter what everyone gets accomplished during such a curt amount of time.  For years, I've enjoyed next along amongst others who are participating... Wednesdays as well as Thursdays are slow to waste materials away on the reckoner checking upward on everyone's progress.  And the calendar week of the finale?  It's similar Christmas morn for pattern bloggers!  Many cheers to Linda of Calling It Home for dreaming upward the ORC, as well as keeping it all hence good organized.

For the adjacent 42 days, I'll endure doing my best to transform my Master Bedroom.  I'm considering these my truthful earlier photos, since it's the finally fourth dimension the room was finished.

It was total of squeamish things, but what was I thinking??  I intend I did this room correct at the halt of the Tuscan expect as well as Restrained Gold pigment craze.  All of that is SO far from what my agency has evolved into.  I only consider it a business office of the process...

We started a makeover of this room 2 1/2 years agone amongst a novel pigment task (did you lot encounter the swatch on the wall inwards i of the photos above?), but as well as hence it totally got stalled.  Other projects kept jumping to the front end of the line, as well as it chop-chop became an extra storage spot.  THIS is why if you lot were to always see my house, the bedchamber door would endure closed... this is where every oversized accessory as well as article of furniture cast-off without a abode sits inwards a belongings pattern... hence we'll only telephone telephone these the transition photos, where the room has been stuck for years almost iii years.

 Let me only laissez passer you lot a total tour...

Niiiiice....  mismatched lamps, outdated orangish nightstands, no proper bed, only mattresses on a hollywood frame, thrown together bedding.  But a cute leopard pillow makes everything better, right? ;)

Or how almost this view?  I talked almost this armoire oh, 2 YEARS AGO trying to determine what to exercise amongst it.  As a reminder, my Dad made it from scratch.  It's a actually nice, sentimental slice amongst tons of storage, but the orangey-oak colouring isn't working.  Remember when I finished my green china cabinet  over 2 twelvemonth ago?  I stole 2 knobs from the bottom drawers here... yep... nevertheless missing a replacement.  I intend I accept a excogitation now, but nevertheless demand to exercise around experimenting.  The doors that lead to the bath correct adjacent to it are a similar size as well as shape as well as laissez passer a chip of an strange expect on that wall, hence I accept around ideas to brand that expect ameliorate equally well.

Let's rotate a chip more... loooovely.  See?  I actually accept been collecting parts as well as pieces for this makeover for agency besides long.  Fabric, frames, artwork, furniture... etc. etc. etc.  Most of the parts are here, at in i lawsuit it's fourth dimension to teach it together!  Believe it or not, I cleaned this side of the room upward a lot earlier I photographed this yesterday.  Yikes.

Lastly, the window wall.  When the former silk depository fiscal establishment check drapes came down, nada else has gone dorsum upward since.  I'm SO looking frontwards to having around room-darkening drapes back!

You guys, you've seen behind the veil today.  Embarrassing, but equally they say, bad earlier photos brand the afterward fifty-fifty better, right???  That's what I'm clinging to.  ;)

OK, you've seen the bad as well as the ugly, at in i lawsuit how almost around expert inwards the cast of my plan?  There are around big pluses inwards this room.  It's a squeamish size, the ceilings are tall (10 feet), crown molding throughout, expert light, as well as it has squeamish big windows.  I shared around of my inspiration photos on Monday, but this should laissez passer you lot a expert thought of where I'm headed amongst the room.

Lots of things are nevertheless upward inwards the air.  I intend I desire a gallery wall on the fireplace side, but I'm pretty clueless on artwork for the wall that the bed is on.  The excogitation for the armoire is nevertheless non solid.  I also accept no thought on lighting yet, other than the overhead light.  And, an accent cloth or 2 powerfulness nevertheless endure inwards question.

Alright, the clock is ticking!  See you lot adjacent Th to hopefully portion around progress!
