One Room Challenge {Week 2}

Welcome, friends!  Well, that was in all likelihood the fastest calendar week ever!  I'm a first-timer, but I convey a feeling participating the One Room Challenge makes fourth dimension wing yesteryear fifty-fifty faster than usual.  A big thank you lot to Linda at Calling it Home for organizing this big party, as well as motivating us to instruct moving on a infinite inwards our home!

Well, I experience similar I'm off to a dull start, but nosotros convey accomplished a few things.  Knowing that I'd last tackling my sleeping accommodation ane twenty-four hr menstruation as well as having a vague persuasion of the administration I was headed, I've been hoarding Craigslist finds for a while.  Although I didn't convey a certain computer program for them until recently, I had some basics on manus when the room computer program started coming together.

Let's start at the top... Over a yr agone I floated the persuasion to my hubby of getting rid of the ceiling fan.

We used it every night, but I knew a chandelier would last as well as hence much prettier.  I told him I'd last totally ok amongst using a standing fan (I tin tuck it away if needed), as well as he agreed!  So, afterwards keeping a constant optic out, I turned this 80's $20 Craigslist find

into this!  

Next calendar week I'll part all of the details on that transformation, including the surprising commencement life of the ceiling medallion.

Inspired yesteryear something similar I saw at a local Show trouble solid a few years ago, I've been working to transform some other Craigslist find.  These stools...

became light-green beauties!  I'm close finished amongst the basic upholstering, but am trying to determine how to complete them off.   Plain, ribbon cut (remember, I'm accenting amongst pinkish as well as orange), or ribbon as well as boom caput trim.

I mean value I know which ane I'm leaning towards, as well as if you lot know me at all you lot tin in all likelihood brand a pretty proficient justice which ane it volition be. 

I didn't actually verbalise close it inwards my computer program terminal week, but there's enough of room for us to create a sitting expanse inwards the room.  Once again, Craigslist turned upwards a dyad of these vintage wingbacks.  They convey a slim profile as well as are Ethan Allen.  So, although one-time as well as non perfect (one pes was chipped as well as I mean value they'd been stored outside), they're heavy, sturdy, as well as good made.  

I've been working to instruct them stripped downwards as well as laid upwards to re-upholster.  A yucky task that is non fun at all, but my upholsterer discounts close $50 per chair if I exercise the tear-down, as well as hence it's worth it to me.

I actually went dorsum as well as forth on the novel cloth to choose.  Part of me wanted to exercise a bang-up patterned fabric, similar the Jamil leopard that I'd similar to run somewhere inwards the room.  In the end, though, I decided to become neutral on the upholstery.  I tin add together some bang-up pillows, as well as I knew in that location would last enough of other patterns going on inwards the room.  This is the fabric I ended upwards choosing.  It's classic as well as neutral at a glance, however close-up has that wonderful herringbone designing as well as texture.  I saw it made upwards on a sofa at a local cloth shop, but constitute it online for a few dollars per yard cheaper.  Every fiddling fighting helps!
