One Room Challenge [Guestroom Revamp Week #2]

HELLO! Wow! Where did this last week go?! I will admit I was starting to question my sanity when thinking of the work [and let’s not forget this room redo isn’t free ;(] that is going to be involved in pulling this whole thing off! Then I reeled myself back in and was reminded that I had been hunting for accessories for a little while before I decided to participate in the challenge AND if I can do a few tasks each week, I should be able to stay on track! Its not like we are doing any demo or renovation of any sort. There are some super talented & courageous bloggers taking on a TON more than I am! So, deep breath. Week 2 is looking good so far. As of this morning, I surprisingly feel great about my progress.

Last night, one BIG change took place, but I won’t be sharing photos of it until next week. I am talking wall color. The room is painted and it already feels like you’ve stepped into a completely different space altogether. Painting wasn’t necessarily on my initial punch list, but I knew if I didn’t lighten & brighten the walls, I would still be dealing with those tan walls. Trying to cover them / hide them / pretend they’re not there type of thing.

So with all of that said, today I am sharing my design board [sometimes referred to as a mood board or vision board]. The last mood board I made that I actually put into action was for Simon’s Nursery. I feel they are a great tool to consolidate your vision in one space and also to look back on as a reference & source of motivation.
A few of these “looks” are actually going to happen, but you’ll have to wait and see which ones I am talking about!

 

If you follow me on instagram, you’ll recognize that teal throw – serious score this week. The hunt for art and accessories is ON and I will say, the gold is rushing in, although it’s probably no surprise there.
During Week #3, I will be revealing everything that is or is going to be painted and more progress sneak peaks. I really hope you will come back to see all of the fun stuff still to come!

If you missed my before pics & inspiration photos from week #1, you can see them all here.

Aside from the ORC, the plan is to get some non-ORC posts published ASAP. I have a few craft projects to share, a guest bathroom underway, our master bedroom is slowly, but surely transforming and our contractor is scheduling work to start in our basement sometime during the week of the 20th. EEEK! There is a lot going on, but there always is and I’ve come to terms with that. I guess that’s just the way we roll. My husband may argue and say it’s how I roll. Oh well, I guess I can’t entirely disagree 🙂

Have a great afternoon and be sure to check out the One Room Challenge participants’ Week 2 updates from yesterday and the Linking Participants’ Week 2 posts today! There are some crazy talented ideas brewing and serious progress taking place – I love it!
