Hello and welcome to week 5 of One Room Challenge!
We are finally here ...
Week 6 was a make or break for me. I had taken up too many projects over the last few weeks. The first 2 weeks I made limited progress on the room. I was still finalizing the design and was only able to place the order for the custom wallpaper, rods and ceiling hang bar. The lights were finalized when I was exhibiting my booth at the High Point market. I still have a few hooks that are back ordered.
Between Weeks 5 & 6 I had 2 trunk shows are battling my seasonal allergies. This caused further delays and had me push out my professional photoshoot date. These beautiful shots are my husbands creative skills and of course he loves the new look of this room and rather have it as his office!
Week 6 was a ton of fun and not for the faint of heart! The painter was still putting the final touches on Thursday evening, we had the lights installed that night and the ceiling bar hangs and the mirror got installed at midnight. We then cleaned up and assembled the table after that. All done at 2AM !!
It was quite the task to get this across the line -- It would not have been done without the support of my vendors, my crew and my families patience thru the last week. Clearly the adrenaline rush kept me going and I was deeply motivated once the products started to arrive.
I love ORC because it gets the best out of me and the deadlines force me to work hard and complete these challenging projects in 6 weeks! I share space with a few design rooms to display my products but there is always a limitation in that construct. Having my own studio was always on the agenda but I never got going on it till now. I am excited to bring clients over and use this amazing studio.
Once again, a huge thanks to my vendors:
Give us your feedback and share your stories of design. We love to hear from all of you as it inspires us on our future projects.
