Welp, here goes nothing!! Do you remember way back when I started talking about this supposed guestroom revamp? Yeah, me neither. It seriously feels like forever ago! Well, just today (totally crazy, I know), I decided to participate in the One Room Challenge as a linking participant. What this means: I have 6 weeks to makeover any room of my choosing and share my progress with you all each week! The fun part is that I will link back on Thursdays to Calling it Home, where Linda hosts this wonderful ORC party for tons of bloggers to participate in! The main event takes place each Wednesday, when a carefully selected group of 20 incredible design bloggers will be sharing their One Room Challenge journey as well.
I am super excited, but slightly nervous?! I have wanted to pump some new life into this room for quite some time, so I guess now is as good as ever to get the ball rolling…nothing like a deadline to get yourself into gear!
Today, you’ll get a peak at the current state of the guestroom and I will also share where I am pulling my inspiration from. Bye bye, brown & burgundy – hello, fresh & fun!
Week 1 – here we go!!
The Plan [Bedside area]:
new bedding
new hardware on bedside tables
new lamps or just new shades
something with the headboard??
statement piece above the bed
nightstand styling…obvi 🙂
The Plan [small window wall]:
change out the bronze hardware
new art / gallery wall
new curtains – lighter in color or a bright print
The Plan [Dresser area]:
makeover the mirror
paint dresser
replace hardware
The Plan [Random wardrobe corner]:
remove hanging clothes rack
replace armoire with something bigger & with a clothing rod inside (Oh and did I mention this room does not have a closet??!!)
insert upholstered chair – the whole room revamp did come about because of this guy + my fabric inspiration 🙂
I am so in love with pattern mixing right now and this room does it so well. The color pallet is neutral with bright pops and what a fun color for the bed!
My inspiration list could truly go on and on, but I thought I would keep it simple with 3. I have slowly started to source items for the guestroom and have only made a couple of small purchases so far. I think it is about time I roll up my sleeves and get to work. After all, I have 6 (less than that now!) weeks to go and my vision seems lofty right about now. Fingers crossed I can truck along at a steady pace!
Thank you for reading and I hope you will be back to check up on me and this room! EEEK!
