Hello all and happy Thursday! For those who are new, this week marks the second week of the One Room Challenge hosted by Linda from Calling it Home. There are 20 bloggers who have been chosen to participate in this challenge and they debut their progress on Wednesdays with the BIG reveal on November 11. Myself, along with a plethora of other talented bloggers are linking up guest participants for this challenge and debut our progress every Thursday via linking up on Calling it Home. Our BIG reveal will be on Thursday, November 12th. This is my first time participating in this challenge and I am loving all of the support I am receiving from my fellow bloggers and readers....Thank YOU from the bottom of my heart! 

You can find week one's One Room Challenge post, here. Week 2 has been a little bit challenging because my kids are in their last week of Fall break and have been going crazy. So to keep them calm, we spent our days outside...basically, not much got completed. However, I did take down the fabric navy blue wall that posing as my accent wall. So, if you think about it...I did complete a task. Haha! 

Although I actually did not get much done in project terms, I did receive my art work, decorative pillows, some decor pieces, and I purchased a butt load of suede fabric. This next week the kids will be back at school, I hope to have my wall treatment up and my headboard reupholstered. I have been debating on placing a shelf similar to the ones in my living room in my bedroom but I would spray paint it black. I have not made up my mind, but I do have the shelf and it should be an easy project. I am still waiting for my area rug to come in...That my friends is a surprise....I am hoping it looks exactly how is did online...or else. Fingers crossed. 


Here is a collection of all of my art from Minted. 


Here is one of two pillow cases for decorative pillows from Aloriam. 


A snapshot om black suede fabric that I purchased from Joann's --- I scored a HOT deal 50% off on a butt load of this...well worth my trip with my 3 kids in tow. 


I know this is not much but how COOL is this rock. I picked it up at the thrift store for like $3, this would have at least cost 7x more at Home Goods. Great find! The cashier at the thrift store was so sweet but totally stumped to why I would want to purchase a rock. Cutest thing ever. On a side note, this thing is MASSIVE. 

There are a couple things that I forgot to take a picture of that I plan to use in the space, I guess you will have to wait and see. Well, this wraps up my update for week 2 of the One Room Challenge. If you have time you should stop by Calling it Home and check out all the other participants progress! I bet they would love that!

    That artwork is perfect, and I'm so with you on rocks as decor. I mean, what a cool paperweight or bookend. Love the direction you're taking so far!

    That rock is amazing! And did the school system not know you are in the middle of the ORC? Fall break should be before or after :)
