This week my work on the One Room Challenge has been all about the fabric (my favorite thing ever!). Getting my curtains hemmed and trimmed out. I bought these at IKEA for 9.99 a pair so I bought 2 packages. A few rolls of gold tassel trim and I'm on my way.
Then over the weekend (so hubby can help) we started on the walls using this beautiful Dreamscape fabric from Premier Prints in Waterbury Slub. I needed a lot so I bought the whole 30 yard bolt. And it's still cheaper than wallpaper. I received a huge amount of good advice from Christine Kohut on putting fabric on walls and fortunately she used fabric from the same manufacturer so that really gave me the boost I needed to take the plunge.
It was a little tricky (maybe more than a little) but I'm happy with the results and it makes the whole room feel cozier and cared for.
Then, because IKEA was out of the shelves I wanted, I put my husband to work creating a Rustic X Console Table using plans from the amazing Ana White. He did a great job and I love this so much more than the generic look of the IKEA shelves I'd initially planned for.
For painting he used our Rexbeti Power Sprayer and it did a great job hitting all the nooks and crannies. It made everything so much faster than brush painting.
Here is a little corner of bliss. It's coming together and when the whole room is done this dreamy look will be in the whole room.
Here's a bigger peek at the direction it's going. Next up is wall painting and new curtains!
Be sure to go to the One Room Challenge site and look at all the AMAZING transformation happening! So much inspiration!
