One Room Challenge – Week 5

It’s the beginning of Week 5 of the One Room Challenge.

Things are starting to come together!

Everything except the built-in bookshelf is painted.

The closet doors and closet organizer all came out. We patched, sanded, and painted everything, and yesterday I wallpapered the inside of the closet.

I’m in love

Progress on the Furniture

For now, the dresser is staying in its original condition. I’m really liking how it looks and I also don’t want to have too much white in the space.

We applied the inlays to the desk with some wood glue and a few brad nails. Then gave it a coat of paint.

Wallpapering & Painting

All of the walls and the beams have been painted since last week and what a difference the white makes with the light in the space. I think the beams have made the biggest impact so far.

The back wall of the closet is wallpapered. I haven’t wallpapered with regular wallpaper in years but it was like riding a bike, it came back to me very quickly.

The repeat on the wallpaper was 21″ so there was quite a bit of waste. I was originally going to wallpaper the whole closet but I feel like it actually was better to just do the back wall. The walls were very out of square and I would have had to buy another roll to do it.

Once shelving goes up, I don’t think the added effort or expense would even make that big of a difference.

We are definitely in the home stretch going into the One Room Challenge Week 5

More Progress

I’ve heard from Boutique Rugs that my rug is shipping soon. If you want to purchase a rug from Boutique Rugs use my discount code: LIVINGLARGE to get an additional 5% off their already discounted prices.

My fabric is here and I did have to change that up a little bit. Below is what I originally wanted but the check had a 5-yard minimum order and I certainly don’t need that much fabric so I switched it.

These are the fabrics that I ended up getting. I actually think the ticking is more in keeping with the Country French vibe that I’m going for.

I’m going to make pillows and refinish a chair with them for the room.

I have ordered some prints for the walls that I need to get framed this week.

I’ve also ordered lamps and fingers crossed I will like them when they arrive.

As we go into Week 5 we will be wrapping up the big things.

The daunting project we have left is painting the built-in bookshelves and it’s a big job.

We are getting close to the end of the One Room Challenge!
