Half way through the One Room Challenge on my Living Room make-over. I feel a bit like I’m in quicksand. I’m working on finishing a large painting which will be a focal piece in the room and it is taking for…..ever….! My plan is to finish it in the next week so I can move on to painting the other two walls in the room. Hopefully those will go a lot quicker!
Today I ordered the picture light I will hang above my Princess painting. I plan on painting the wall behind it black with the shape in my sketch. This gives more weight and interest to that corner of the room where my new chaise will go.
I also ordered a few accessories and I’m super excited about a gorgeous pillow my friend, (former VP of Product & Development at Pottery Barn - who now has her own fabulous textile company), Marie Joie Hughes is sending me! It Is Di-Vine! I can’t wait to share it with you!
My only concern is the sofa I ordered months ago…with the shop going out of business because of Covid (breaks my heart!), I’m so hoping the factories in LA will be able to open safely soon and I can receive it before the challenge is over. A small problem in the scheme of what is happening in the world for sure but it would be lovely if it could happen!
That’s it for this week. Make sure to follow all the amazing designers on the One Room Challenge website and a special Thank You to Better Homes and Gardens, the official media partner for this really fun and inspiring event.
