One Room Challenge: Week 3

Hello all and happy Thursday! For those who are new, this week marks the third 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.

You can find week one's One Room Challenge post, here, and week two, here. Last week was a bit difficult for me to do much, but this week I got some stuff done. I hung up the black suede and my area rug from Lamps Plus arrived. I was so excited to receive it, I literally stopped what I was doing and started clearing out the room just so that I can get the rug in before night-fall. The rug is GORGEOUS!!!

This is how my headboard looks at this exact moment, I love the pattern, but I plan to reupholster it with powdered blue (with a hint of grey) fabric that I picked up at an interior designer yardsale. The black suede is used to add visual interest in the room...trust me the walls are a bit blah without it. Since I rent, I stapled the top and bottom and used double sided sticky tape to hold the sides down. What I love about the suede is that it has texture. I thought about using hardboard, but I did not want to do all that work to hold it up. You can check out my rental approved spruced up shutter doors turned chic doors using hardboard, here.

This upcoming week I hope to have all my projects completed. I still need to paint this shelf (pictured above), reupholster my headboard, create a starburst art piece of some sort, and possibly paint my existing mirror to fit the room**--I say possibly because I have my eyes set on a mirror that I would love to purchase, but I need to check if it is still there. hmmmm....Yeah, I did not plan that out.

Unfortunately this is it for this week. Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the participants One Room Challenge.
