Spring 2016 One Room Challenge Reveal: Family Room and Eating Area Makeover
May 12, 2016
This is a sponsored post. I have received product for this room makeover. All opinions are mine and mine alone
Thank goodness I survived the past 6 weeks!!! First off I just wanted to say, Thank You to all of you who have been commenting and supporting me. It has been a crazy month. I have been sick and I injured my back, but I have survived and I made it to week 6. Hallelujah!!! For those of you who are new, I have been participating in the One Room Challenge hosted by Linda from Calling it Home as a linking participant. The premises for this challenge is to basically makeover a whole room in 5 weeks and reveal it the 6th week. Linda chooses 20 bloggers to take on this challenge and everyone else (200+) are all linking participants who want in on the fun. Haha! I chose to makeover my family room and eating area. Both rooms open up to each other so it was only right to makeover both spaces.
Before I go any further, I would like to give my sponsors a big virtual hug and say, Thank You. With out you collaborating with me. I would have not been able to put this room together. Thank you Lamps Plus for my matching swivel chairs, Minted for the art, Rugs USA for the black and white rug, Rit Dye for providing me with dye for my curtains. THANK YOU!!!
I shared how I created a faux fireplace facade during week 3 of the challenge and in week 5 I discussed why I went black on the fireplace. The paint I used was from Ace Hardware and is part of the Clark + Kensington line called Midnight Stroll.
My shelf is full of thrifted treasures mixed with some modern art from Minted. You cannot go wrong with an Eclectic Collected style. Everything just fits so well together.
Can you believe I dyed all those curtains a soft pink using Rit Dye? More on that later
I used a layering technique to incorporate an oversized black and white rug from Rugs USA and a rug I picked up on Craigslist for free about a year ago. I shared the full layered rug minus the coffee table on Instagram. I could not have made a better choice going with the black and white rug. I absolutely love it. This particular rug comes in numerous colors over at Rugs USA and was the only rug that I can find in the size that I needed in the colors that I needed. How cool is that...it all worked out.
You can see how I took my Chinoiserie couch and reupholstered it with velvet, here. I shared how I created an oversized color block wall art, here. Embarrassing....one word, KIDS!
I have shared sneak peeks of these stunning cream colored chairs from Lamps Plus all over Instagram...it is a shame my coffee table is in the way. These chairs are so comfortable and stylish. Everyone in my house loves them...I will not lie, I still wrap them up in the dust covers they came in. Again, one word...KIDS.
Here is a flash back image of what my eating area use to look like. Not bad, eh?
That is a wrap. I have some friends who also participated and I cannot wait to check out their spaces. If you want, you can join me you can hop around and be inspired by all of these beautiful One Room Challenge guest participants! Be sure to stop in again later this week for all the REVEALS!
