Can you believe that it’s week 6! It’s been a lot of fun doing the One Room Challenge that was created by Linda of Calling it Home, but I must admit I’m happy it’s over. I have been exhausted! I was running around doing projects till the last minute. Hopefully the reveal is worth the wait. If you want to see where we started check it out here.
As a little reminder to all I decided that I wanted to leave the paint color as is and give everything else a face lift!
When you walk in you are now met with this dreamy set up. Originally I wanted to have a gallery wall behind the bed, but I left printing my free printable artwork to the last minute and I had massive issues at Staples so alas I had to scrap it for now. I love it the way it is now, but we shall see if it stays as is.
In love with the scalloped corners on my new bordeaux duvet cover from Land of Nod. Sometimes kids bedding works perfectly in an adult space and they are typically more price friendly!
The mirror just left as is and I picked up a new to me desk for $37 and then a new to me chair for $40 from local thrift stores.
The desk top got a new look with striped wrapping paper from HomeGoods and some double sided tape. I’m still waiting on a glass top to arrive to protect the protect the paper.
I’m not a pro with a sewing machine, but give me a staple and/or glue gun and I’m in business. I recovered this beauty myself.
The chandelier got a little revamp as well. I spray painted the beads pink and then used Rub n Buff patina rub to add a little green to the metal.
Stripes plus floral chintz is just a perfect combo to me! More details on the caned headboard next week.
I always was intrigued by Kelly Wearstler’s graffiti staircaseso in order to test it myself I decided to try it out first on an massive canvas and I love it.
Love all of the peeks of my mom’s blue and white ginger jar collection. I want to slowly take away a jar one visit at a time.
The window got dressed with my amazing GP&BAKER floral chintz score. I love the little window seating area below.
Cool panoramic shot of the room via my iphone.
Ah! It’s so serene and pretty. I’m going to make sure I get to stay in this guest room when I sleep over at my parents house. Granted I must disclose I live a 2 min drive away from my parents house so I never really have to sleep over, but I will nap there!
A big thanks to Lindafor hosting this challenge. Without her push I probably would have left this room as is for another couple of months. My mom thanks you as well. She is so happy with the new space!
Make sure you check out all of the other room reveals here!
Wow! Those curtains are a show stopper. That really came together nicely. I am actually glad you didn’t do the gallery wall. It looks sweet and simple in there.
What a great room and I love that duvet cover too! What a great idea to steal it from the kids section! And I’ve been eyeing those finials for years. They looks so good in your room I think I need to break down and do it already!
Can’t choose a favorite element from this room – love the stripes, the comforter details and the desk and chair color and fabric combo!!! Love it. Lucky guests!1
What an amazing transformation! A true job well done. I adore the color palette you selected. It feels fresh and fun. The six weeks went by so fast. I completed our entry, living and dining areas in a new to us 30 year old house. So, cheers to us! Have a wonderful week.
Hi Camila, this looks great. It is definitely a lovely way to welcome guests. I love the floral mixed with the stripes, and of course the painted furniture. Great job.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
Fall is the perfect season to host an outdoor movie night in your backyard! It’s that time of year when outdoor furniture is still outside and it gets dark earlier than the summer which means your little kiddos can enjoy the movie night as well. It’s so nice to transform your backyard with cozy blankets, […]
Can you believe it’s already November? Before we know it Thanks No. 1 Modern bar cart with patterned sides that looks great as is, but would also look amazing painted a pop of color! Plus it’s only $157. No. 2 This lucite bar cart is a personal favorite of mine. Look at those chic lines! […]
For the longest time our backyard was mainly just grass and a little small area where we laid down some pavers so that we could set out a little plastic table/chairs during the summer. Not exactly ideal for entertaining. For the past couple of years we have wanted to build a deck and enjoy the […]

I love all the details in this room: the lamps, the light fixture, the paper on the desk. Beautiful job.
