The One Room Challenge Reveal!

Oh my goodness, what a week! It was seriously down to the wire getting everything ready and I could really go for a nap right about now, but I am so excited to share with you the final result!

If you're new here, welcome! You can catch up on the weekly progress posts and get the full story with these links:

Are you ready for the reveal? A little reminder of what I started with:

Here's what my living-dining room looks like now:

I brought in purples and blues with pillows, art, and other accessories. The fact that all the big pieces are neutral in color, makes the space versatile and will allow us to very easily switch out the colors whenever the mood strikes.

We also added a black vintage-inspired ceiling light fixture which was custom made by a fellow small business.

Gallery wall around the TV finally finished!

The dining space probably went through the biggest transformation. It's now welcoming and ready for guests.

The old Ikea shelving unit that we had, got a little makeover with the addition of legs, doors, and greek key panels. I also added bins to keep it organized inside.

What do you think? I hope you love the space as much as I do. Thank you so much for following along and cheering me on throughout these past six weeks!

My Office in Our New Home

A couple of months ago I shared a photo of my new home office on Instagram.   Slowly but surely I've made some updates and while it's not quite "finished" yet, I'm happy that it's starting to take shape and no longer looks like an empty box.  Here's what it's looking like currently:

While most things were carried over from my old office. I did bring in some new art, pillows, accessories and since this office is a bit smaller, a new rug. Also brought in the black ribbon edged curtains from our old bedroom - I love them in here!

Not sure yet if I want to add something in the corner, next to the Expedit. In the old office, I had bookcases on either side.  They are now being used for closet organization.

The main wall is still pretty bare.  I used the frames that I used to have in my old office, for a gallery wall around the TV in our new living room (photo of that coming soon), so I need to shop for some new ones. I haven't decided yet though if I want to do a mix or all one color.

Be sure to follow along here or on Instagram for future updates! I'll probably share our living room next.
