Welcome to the last One Room Challenge check in before the big reveal next week! As some of you may already know, the reveal usually takes place on week 6. However due to the recent natural disasters that have happened recently, we were given a one week extension to allow our friends in these areas a little more time to finish up!
If you missed any of the previous posts in this series don’t despair, I’ve linked them all below!
One Room Challenge (Week 1): The Plans!
One Room Challenge (Week 2): A Good Start
One Room Challenge (Week 3): Board and Batten, Check!
One Room Challenge: (Week 4): A New Table and a Stenciled Fireplace
One Room Challenge: (Week 5): The Final Stretch
I definitely could have been done by this week if I REALLY busted my butt, but I’m not going to lie was so nice to be able to slow it down a little bit last week while I wrap up the final items left on the list.
The funny thing about making a list for a room makeover is that I almost always add on to it along the way. Like my new blanket ladder!
Back in my early days of DIY’ing we made a blanket ladder which has done an excellent job of keeping our throws off of the couch when we aren’t using them.
Well when I finished the board and batten and brought it back inside I quickly realized that the white on white wasn’t working too well and the ladder looked kind of lost.
I know–the awful lighting in this picture isn’t helping either! This room just gets so much dang light which is awesome in real life, but hard to photograph. I splurged on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 6 this past weekend and the hubby also surprised me with a new camera lens. I am hoping that these two things will make capturing the photos of this room for the big reveal a little less frustrating.
I am really excited with how nicely it came together. It adds some much needed contrast on that wall as you’ll see next week!
I also got started on my large DIY art using PVC panels that are meant to resemble vintage tin ceiling tiles.
I panicked a little bit when I realized that my 4′ x 4′ plywood was slightly under 4′ which left my panels hanging over the edges. I decided to trim them down to fit and luckily I don’t think it’s going to be too noticeable once I’m all finished.
Oh and I also picked out some new sconces to put up on the vaulted ceiling wall!
