One Room Challenge – Week Three

This week, my One Room Challenge was all about prep work, additional selections, and deliveries. The most exciting thing that happened…..the wallpaper arrived! If you follow me on Instagram, you may have seen the sneak peek I shared on my Instagram Story. The colors are absolutely gorgeous and I can hardly wait for it to be installed!

Setbacks

I knew there would be setbacks. Actually, I take that back. I thought I was so organized that nothing could go wrong. Then I realized the walls needed to be sanded before my wallpaper installer could start.

Can we talk about the mess? Yes, that’s sanded off texture in the shot below.

Thank goodness I have lots of drop cloths! However, the amount of dust in my house is far beyond what I anticipated.

The other issue that arose, the lamp shades are the wrong color for this project.

I love the lamps though, so I plan to keep them if I can find replacement shades.

Decisions, decisions, decisions

I selected a beautiful charcoal coverlet and some items from the vintage crochet collection by Pom Pom at Home. I think the coverlet will be beautiful with the charcoal background of the wallpaper. I already own many pieces by Pom Pom at Home and I knew their linens would fit perfectly into my design. You can read about my love of linen and see some of my other pieces here.

I also decided to go with white curtain panels. Thanks to those of you who helped me with this decision last week!

Progress

The ring of the doorbell and the sound of a delivery truck pulling away never gets old! Several more items arrived this week. Most are unpacked and taking over my office, but it’s okay because I enjoy looking at all of the beautiful new things.

Shop the Look – Home Office

I ordered the curtain rod that I shared with you last week as well as the curtain rings. Additionally, the curtain panels arrived. Hopefully the rod and rings will arrive in time to be installed before my next update.

Also, some new Boll & Branch sheets arrived. Since the guest room is still a construction zone, they are going to stay in their box for a little while longer.

Isn’t the box beautiful? It was a bit dark today with storms in our area. I’ll try to get a better picture for you next week.

I also finished painting the walls. I love how clean and fresh they make the room look! The trim moulding is next.

    • Jennifer says

      October 20, 2016 at 8:06 am

      Thanks Sarah! Don’t go by my sanding example….I’m definitely an amateur! I bet yours is just fine. xoxo

    Wow, Jennifer that is a lot of sanding! I can’t wait to see that beautiful wallpaper up. It’s so gorgeous! I’m excited to see all the linens too. I love Pom Pom at Home!! Great job this past week!

    • Jennifer says

      October 20, 2016 at 3:18 pm

      Thanks so much Yuni! I am still cleaning up the dust! And yes, Pom Pom at Home has such beautiful pieces! I’ve loved them for a long time!

    Sanding is the worst part of any job! Lol It just always makes a mess. I love your lamps! They are so beautiful! I love when the deliveryman shows up with goodies, It is always a good day when that happens!

    -Jaclyn

    • Jennifer says

      October 20, 2016 at 3:20 pm

      Isn’t it? I bribed my son to help me sand and even with two of us it was a lot of work! Thanks so much for your kind words and for stopping by!

  7. Jenna at Wife in Progress says

    October 20, 2016 at 1:24 pm

    ohhh so many pretty things! I love where this is all going! Also, those are the fanciest sheet boxes I’ve ever seen 😉

    • Jennifer says

      October 20, 2016 at 3:19 pm

      Right? I didn’t want to untie the bow because it was so perfectly tied! Thanks so much for stopping by! xoxo

    Jen I am in love with the way this is coming along! Seriously this guest room is stunning! Can’t wait to see that paper go up! Sorry it’s so dusty though!! Looking forward to next week!

    • Jennifer says

      October 20, 2016 at 10:20 pm

      Thank you so much Tam! I think I got most of the dust cleaned up today. I’m literally sore from cleaning and painting!

  10. Melissa @ Polished Habitat says

    October 20, 2016 at 8:05 pm

    Oh my gosh. I’m both horrified and excited by all the sanding you did. It has never occurred to me that we could sand off the texture so I could wallpaper. So many possibilities now. But what a mess!!! I know all the mess and work will be worth it and you are going to have the most gorgeous office!

    • Jennifer says

      October 20, 2016 at 10:16 pm

      Oh no, did I just create a monster? Lol! You can also float the walls with texture. It’s probably less messy.

  11. Charlotte says

    October 20, 2016 at 8:12 pm

    Love that bold wallpaper! And paint is always a powerhouse! Looking good!

    • Jennifer says

      October 20, 2016 at 9:42 pm

      Thank you so much Charlotte! I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel!

    All of your bedding and accessories are amazing! And seriously, I can’t wait to see that statement wall (I expect a DM sneak peek – ha!).

    • Jennifer says

      October 22, 2016 at 1:17 am

      Thank you so much! I can’t believe we are halfway done! The wallpaper was installed today so watch for that DM or text soon! xoxo

    Your office is so elegant and classy. I like how you put California and Texas on the wall. I can see why you wanted to keep the lamps. They are beautiful! Hope you find some other shades you like. I’m sure your guest room will look wonderful after seeing a little of your office.

    • Jennifer says

    Ellie Cashman Design offers similar, drool-worthy wallpaper – and I was THIS CLOSE to installing it in our master bedroom. You’ve got a talent for mixing neutrals with texture, and I can already see how gorgeous this room will be! Can’t wait to see what you’ll share over the next few weeks! XO

    • Jennifer says

      October 26, 2016 at 10:48 am

      Thank you Oksana! I do love my neutrals and I’m definitely branching out a bit with this space. Thank you so much for the vote of confidence! xoxo

    Sanding that wall sounds like torture, but it will be so worth it in the end! All of your design choices are so gorgeous – and even their packaging is swoon worthy! I am so looking forward to seeing this room come together!

      October 26, 2016 at 10:43 am
