One Room Challenge - Fall 2020 - Week 1
I'm so thrilled to take part in the One Room Challenge for Fall 2020. My master bedroom has been a disappointing dumping ground for far too many years. I got started on it but, in retrospect, at some point I realized I didn't like the direction I was heading in style-wise and just sort of stopped. Life is always busy and it's been a neglected space that should be a peaceful retreat.
Here is my mood board for the upgraded room. I think the theme might be coastal cottage with a kick (not everything will be soft and muted). The headboard will be re-covered with this gorgeous print from Bari J's Virtuosa collection. I knew the first time I saw this fabric that I wanted it for my headboard. Sometimes I fall out of love with a fabric but I've never wavered on this print. I love everything about it and with the trim painted gold it's just going to shine.
For the bedskirt I'm using the beautiful Something Blue fabric from Sharon Holland's Everlasting collection. Check out my store for some of these fabrics!
The room currently looks like this (when it's picked up!). I'd prefer a bench at the foot of the bed but we have to have something that works for our elderly cat (who sleeps on our bed).
Here are some of the things I've already procured and we already put the new rug under the bed (love it!).
I'm using the dotted fabric for slipcovers on the chairs because it's what I have. In an effort to stay on budget (1000.00) I'm trying my best to use what I have and keep it uncomplicated. I happened to have purchased a full 30 yards of the dotted print in the spring when it was marked down, so I'm using it!
The walls opposite the bed are getting a fabric treatment! I'm nervous but excited. It's significantly cheaper than wallpaper and easy to peel off if I ever get tired of it.
MUCH more to come but for this week I'm working on the slipcovers and my husband is building a console for our tv since IKEA was sold out of my intended solution (but I'm saving money!).
So I'm off to do some sewing, paint purchasing, and curtain embellishing (the stripes are leaving, but the black out lining is staying). Follow me here on instagram and don't forget to follow the #oneroomchallenge hashtag.
