ONE ROOM CHALLENGE: THE BIG REVEAL!

|

It’s the big day!! Honestly, yesterday and today are like Christmas morning for me…waking up knowing that so much incredible design inspiration is waiting for me in my mailbox is almost too much to handle.  So here goes…it’s Week SIX of the One Room Challenge and it’s time to show you the finished space in all of her glory! If you are new here catch up on the last few weeks here. here. here. here. and here. The short and sweet of this room is that it’s where we spend most of our time. It needed to be bright. The toys needed to vamoose and make it up to the playroom. The monstrosity of a microfiber sectional that we bought on a whim needed to find a new home. There also needed to be pattern mixing and pops of bold color to make mama happy. I found the leopard rug the week before the challenge started and I knew she would be perfect. I stumbled upon the drapes during week one at a thrift store (and about died) and knew that they would tie the room together. After some serious pleading, the wingback got upholstered in a yummy jade green velvet. And last, but certainly not least, we pulled off the DIY bay window cornice box…and I am happy to report that we are stilled barely married. ha. Joking. Not really. 
So here you go…our finished living area and adjoining bay window breakfast nook….
Isn’t this monogrammed pillow greatness?! I found the most adorable Etsy shop called The Peppermint Bee and she was sweet enough to send me this pillow to really tie everything together. You MUST check her shop out…she has the most darling monograms!

And just to refresh here’s where we started: The Inspiration board and the before photos (yikes)!

As always, such a fun and stressful ride…but in the end we are so so happy to have a bright, open and functional living space for our family to enjoy. Linda, you are such a genius for putting this together…not only does it kick my behind into gear to re-do a room in 6 weeks, but I have actually met real life and “blog life” friends throughout the journey…and that’s even better than a well designed room! So, thanks again for following along and dealing with my incessant #orc hashtags…you guys are the best! And this post wouldn’t be complete without thanking my handyman (aka hubs). He doesn’t understand these types of “blog things,” but he was a total trooper and helped me beyond measure.

Now, do yourself a favor and check these ladies out…seriously jaw dropping design.

  21. I've been studying your bookcase all morning! I'm in LOVE with the bird figurines, but what I love most is the perfect balance between family photos and meaningful objects. Everything is so, so pretty. Your Christmas morning metaphor was also spot on. It's been so enjoyable from week to week "playing the home game", but the final reveals are fun. Great job!!

  23. Girl, this is amazing!!! It turned out perfectly and I'm inviting myself too 🙂 I love how you hung your pictures, the curtains and all the detail but I think the breakfast chairs are my fave! Those ten dollar succulents sure are lookin' good 🙂 Finally it's done and it is all worth it!

I am obsessed! 😉 So glad the blog world has brought us together, and maybe one day I'll make it up to Charlotte (lock up those birds!) for a real visit, but first you need to come to Charleston to style my built-ins. Yes? Yes.

  26. Seriously beautiful. The cabinets turned out amazingly and that green chair is EVERYTHING. I love it. You have exquisite taste.

  27. Wow, what a stunning transformation!! I adore all of the colors and patterns you used… and your bookcase looks phenomenal! How cute are those parrots? LOVE!!!

    XOXO,
    The Glam Pad

  28. I can't even tell you how much I LOVE that breakfast nook!!!! To, die, pretty! I am smitten with the black and white and the cornice is perfection. I've watched the living room come along, thinking it was a great project, and now this! Killer. 😉

  32. It's gorgeous! I love everything in the room! I can't believe how much you got done in 6 weeks! Is your sectional Broyhill? It looks just like the one we bought, but a different configuration.

  35. seriously, it all turned out SO amazing! I want to steal your breakfast nook – the chairs and that buffalo check. glad yall are still married! I joked around about that when we painted our kitchen in December and now we are doing it all over again. crazy! job well done lady!

  42. Wow! Amazing Mallory! Finally got my room done and up and now I can't wait to see all these rooms! I knew once you found those drapes this room was going to be killer! Love every little thing…all the brass accesories, the gold plumbing hardware (!!), the parrots, omg I have the exact same mini bust in my daughter's room (great taste), the rug, that cornice, that adorable monogram pillow, the table setting…okay i guess i love everything! And i laughed out loud abt your marraige…mine and the rest of my house except my daughter's room are in need of repair. 🙂

  43. Everything looks great! So glad to see that your cornice made it up. I think that breakfast nook is my favourite part of the room. Followed closely by your re-styling of that bookshelf/former tv console area. The prints you chose for next to the fireplace are so beautiful. What an amazing transformation! I'm so glad I was introduced to your blog via the ORC. 🙂
