Happy Thursday y’all!! Once again, welcome back to the 6 week One Room Challenge! I keep thinking to myself how happy I am to be a part of this challenge because I know without a doubt, we wouldn’t be this far along if we weren’t working on a deadline. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the ORC, you can read here about Week 1, Week 2 and Week 3.
This is our inspiration board:
Linda, our host, mentioned that this week can be one of the most challenging. I know what she means… so I’m not surprised as I sit here and feel like I don’t have anything huge to reveal that we did this past week. Nevertheless, there were little things that I checked off our to do list and being in the middle of spring break has kinda put things at a slower pace as well. During Easter weekend we took a mini road trip and I’m feeling a little behind now, but I sure don’t regret time spent away with my sweet family! We’ll get our workin’ boots on this weekend and hopefully show you some big and fabulous accomplishments next week!
My husband built this fabulous board and batten headboard for behind our bed. It still needs a couple coats of paint, but I thought I’d show you anyway. I am loving the way it looks already! If you remember our before pictures, our room was sooo drab looking with gold curtains and lots of brown tones and I find myself saying over and over I love how bright it’s beginning to look. Love, love all the whites!!
and one more…
The fabric we ordered from Tonic Living arrived this week. I was so excited to receive it…. it looks as beautiful as I pictured!
Just in case you missed it last week, this is the coffee table I found at an extremely awesome price and we’re going to work some magic on this one and make it into a bench 🙂 I am so excited about it!
My big dilemma now is finding hardware for the dresser and end tables.
So …. here’s our TO DO list for this next week:
* prime dresser and end tables
* find hardware for dresser and end tables
* recover lampshades (found fabric this week!!)
* coffee table transformation to a end-0f-the-bed bench 🙂
* finish painting board and batten head board
* still looking for some pieces for our gallery wall, so I’m hoping this next week something jumps out at me and captures my attention)
We are getting down to the wire, friends!!! This is a project that I was totally saving for summertime …. I can hardly believe it’ll be done in a couple weeks!! Thanks so much for coming by ad following along on this fun journey!
Until next time,
Kendra
The headboard looks amazing! Great job so far. I can’t wait to see the final result.
Thanks so much Kimberlee for the kind words! Appreciate you coming by 🙂
I love the headboard! I might try to do something like that for one of my guest rooms! The fabric is beautiful and the bench is a definite find! Good progress!
Thank you Sheila 🙂 I will let you know how the recovering process goes… Hope it’s as easy as it looks 😉 Thanks a bunch for stopping by!!
That headboard is gorgeous!! You are well on your way to a beautiful room!
Thank you so much Traci! It’s going to be a busy week ahead 🙂 Thank you for coming by!
Love the direction. That is going to be one killer bench. I, too, am re-doing our MBR. My sis-in-law is profiling it on her blog, Room Rx. Tell your hubby good job.
I will be sure to tell him Therese! Thanks very much 🙂 I am going to check out your MBR as well… good luck to you and your sis-in-law with the remaining two weeks! Thanks for coming by!
Love how that white is popping against the brown!! ..and you’re so right, week 4 is definitely not a high point.. more like a medium point! lol! but your space is coming along great! I LOVE the to-be bench!! How about Anthro for hardware? They’ve got an entire huge rolling rack of awesome unique drawer pulls! lol! Can’t wait to see it all come together!
Thanks Nicole! I never thought about Anthro… thanks very much for the suggestion! I will check them out! Hope to start on the bench this weekend! Thanks for coming by!
I absolutely love that board and batten headboard! The bench is gorgeous too! I found dlawlesshardware.com to have a nice selection and some really good prices. Good luck!
Thanks so much Sherry! It sure has brightened up our room… Looking forward to the final reveal! And thanks for that suggestion- good to know!! Thanks a bunch for coming by 🙂
I love how the B&B headboard turned out… and was just checking out that lovely fabric at Tonic Living yesterday (also for our master bedroom). I think it is going to be amazing!!
Thanks so much Krista!! I will post a picture of the finished product on Thursday! And thanks to you, that’s how I heard about Tonic Living…. fell in love with their material! Can’t wait to see what you do! Thanks very much for coming by!
I love the headboard, and the table. The fabric also looks really classic. Looking forward to seeing this all together.
Thanks very much Linda 🙂 Can’t believe we have one we to go!! Definitely crunch time… good luck in your last week as well!
