One Room Challenge, week 6 :The FINISH Line

Yep, I made it to the "Finish Line", and I definitely couldn't have done it without the help of my Husband who worked late into the night with me getting everything assembled and hung Tuesday.   Unfortunately right when I thought we were right on schedule my bookcase Bitrade Ikea hack was throwing curve balls and messed up everything, but we pushed through and got it figured out. Thank goodness!

I also had some help from friends who helped me with my kiddos! Thank you Sarah and Fanny!

So without further ado, here is the room reveal:

OH, but first to remind you, here is the room BEFORE my One Room Challenge Fall 2015 refresh.



And the AFTER:





Now here comes my disclaimer, Stormy weather does not make for the best pictures, well that and an inexperienced photographer. I'm working on it though :) Actually I had to lighten up these pictures quite a bit, but I do think I got them to the point where it isn't too dark, of course, and that it looks more true to color.  Also you will see some of these pictures were taken with the light on in the room and some without. When the walls look more pink, that is the light fixture, when it is more purple that is the "sun light". And I still Love this wall color! Especially because it changes with the lighting.

Okay so thanks for listening, that made me feel better, you? Well here are some more detailed shots.


 A lot of things in this room were from my room when I was a baby or were passed down to me from my Grandma who recently passed away. I have always planned to put them in my Daughter's room so this was really fun for me to see it all come together. And it feels so right, I love it. Hopefully you like it too.
 I will do a more detailed post with sources and also to point out what treasures I was talking about tomorrow, so please come back then too, like that bunny watercolor that my Mother's friend painted for here that used to hang in my bedroom when I was a little girl.
 Here is my Ikea Hack! I've always wanted to do one, since you see so many these days, hopefully this is one you haven't seen before. There will be a separate post on all of the details, but basically this is a Bitrade bookcase with tapered mid century modern legs attached to add height and style. Easy, but SO effective, I am so happy with how it turned out.

Here are the Moroccan Wedding Blanket inspired curtains, I think i'll do a separate post on these too.

 Also I really do apologize for some of these images looking blurry, I'm itching to replace them as soon as we have sunshine again. "styling two bookcases took way longer than I thought, this one is my favorite, it actually came together quite fast, I struggled with the other one, mostly because of all of the brightly colored children's books and the things I wanted to keep in the room, after all these are my daughter's things and I wanted a place for them, and now I have it. I just need to try not to be bothered with making it picture perfect.

Love this brightly colored fish mobile/chime, and so does our little girl.

 Also you may notice in my pictures I moved a few things around. I ultimately have both the little window bench and the bentwood rocker, it looks a little crowded but we like and need the extra seating so I think they'll stay.

 And here is a shot of the DIY branch light fixture on, we are all in love with! ...even the boys in this house.


And this is the end. Hope you liked the room refresh. Please let me know what you liked the best, i'd love to hear feed back. Especially this is really my first "room makeover". I had so much fun, stressed a little too, but I couldn't me more happy with the result.  Well, no, once I finish a few things I didn't have time to accomplish, like the room shades and painting the doors i'll be much happier!

Oh and just for kicks here is my mood board for the room:

*Update:

I just had to snap a few new pictures since the sun came out today so if you aren't tired of looking at them here are a few more, yeah I know, I kinda have a picture posting problem, always too many. Maybe I 'll go through and change out some but right now I'm off to pick up my son from school.

    1. Thank you thank you! You are so sweet. I'm so happy you liked it. And I wish I could give you a source of something similar. It was something my Grandmother picked up on her travels. I think she got it in Mexico. It's actually a wood and gourd wind chime.

  16. Thank you! Yes I definitely have a lot to learn in photography. I just got my camera this summer and haven't had as much time to experiment with it as I'd hope. Thank you for stopping in to see my ORC, I really appreciate your comments. Your room turned out really great! And I loved your color pallet.

    1. Hi Jeannie, sorry I am just now responding to your comment, and thank you, I'm so happy you like the room. And I'd love to let you know where to find the rug. Here is a link, however my rug is the pastel version of this rug, I can't seem to find it on her site anymore, but this one is very very similar. http://caitlinwilson.com/products/british-bouquet-rug?variant=628603185 Also if you have any other questions on sources from the room makeover you can check it out on this post http://theandersonestate.blogspot.com/2015/11/my-one-room-challenge-fall-2015-guest.html
