One Room Challenge: Week 3 update
We’re starting week 3 which marks the half-way point for the One Room Challenge. Ā I honestly can’t wait for it to all be done. Ā This is the point where all of the little details start taking place & even though we’re making progress, those huge significant changes aren’t happening. Ā All of those little details are so important though so I have to keep reminding myself to take a breath & try not to rush things. Ā I keep telling my contractor that I love parties so I want to see a huge crowd here every morning ready to go! Ā We’re on a 6 week deadline folks plus I’m trying to manage this in my “spare” time before and after work on my client’s projects and running IBB š Ā I’m definitely my own worst client.
If you’re following me on instagram, then you know that I pulled the trigger during High Point market on this super cute new deskĀ from Kate SpadeĀ for Jaylie’s room. Ā I’m so excited that we’ll be carrying the new collection at IBB. Ā Unfortunately since it’s a brand new introduction, it will not be here in time for the big reveal š Ā But don’t worry! Ā I’ll definitely be posting updates when it arrives!
I also purchased this adorable bow chair to use as her desk chair but I’m having it upholsteredĀ in an aqua fabric.
We’re using inspiration from a few of the Kate Spade stores we’ve been in across the country for some of her room’s design elements. Ā She’s been a big fan of the brand and wanted her room to look like this for quite some time so I’ve been snapping & collecting photos overĀ the past few years.
We’ll be using this chandelier over the day bed.
And a pair of these sconces in her bathroom & up by her bunk bed.
I had ordered 2 of these flush mount chandeliers but I just received notice that they are back ordered until January š Ā Yep, that’s right. Ā Designers are not immune to the words backordered or discontinued. Ā In fact, if I had a dollar for every time that I’ve heard those words… Ā I’m trying to decide if I should just wait or if I just need to go ahead and re-select. Ā The problem is we love this fixture so much that nothing strikes our fancy quite the same way. Ā This 6 week time frame keeps getting more & more challenging! Ā I need to take my own advice though. Ā If you really love something, it’s worth the wait. Ā I’ll keep you posted on what we decide to do.
The painters started prepping yesterdayĀ & will hopefully start painting either today or tomorrow. Ā I’m having some fun in here playing up all of the trim work we’ve added throughout the room. Ā I can’t wait to show you all! Ā We’ll be using Benjamin Moore Jet Black, Blue Seafoam & Decorator’s White.
I think the colors fitĀ pretty perfectly withĀ the inspiration image she told me to base her room off of & all of the fabrics we’ve selected.
The safety railing hasn’t gone it yet. Ā I’m really hoping that it gets installed today. Ā I decided to enlarge the scale a bit on the pattern I designed so they had to do some tweaking. Ā I’m really happy with how all of the trim & paneling has turned out. Ā I’ll be doing a gallery wall of prints that my daughter selected over her day bed on this wall.
The countertops went in yesterday in her vanity area & bathroom.
I decided to do a sliding door for her bathroom to give her more space inside. Ā We did this in the bunk room and it really does give you so much more room to not have the door swinging into the space.
That’s it for today’s updates. Ā I’ll be back next week with more but until then you can always find sneak peeks of what’s going on in my design world here. Ā And don’t forget to check out the progress of the other One Room Challenge participants here.
