Woo! I’m SO EXCITED to be a guest participant in the One Room Challenge hosted by Linda of Calling it Home.
What is the One Room Challenge you might ask?
It’s a ‘holy mama we have 6 weeks to get this room done’ challenge! Hundreds of other bloggers and I will be participating in making over a room from start to finish.
Every week on Thursday I will be linking to stages of the room as we paint, install, and DIY our little hearts out!
There are several rooms in our house that are definitely worthy of a complete overhaul but since we’ve been ferociously working on the main level of our home it seemed fitting to continue that momentum into our formal living room. This space is about as untouched as it gets…a blank canvas if you will.
Here are some move-in day pics.
- To DIY a custom bookcase that goes floor to ceiling
- Add Crown Molding
- Furnish the room to make it warm and inviting
- DIY behind the sofa table
- Create a space that we enjoy spending time in
- Stay within time and budget
- DIY some fab craigslist find chairs
And that’s where this room makeover is going to kick off!
I’ll be back next Thursday for an update on our space! Be sure to tune in every week to see this room evolve into the fabulous space I know it can be!
Also, be sure to check out the hundreds of other talented bloggers participating as guests in this challenge here.
For MAJOR design inspiration check out the 20 designers featured in this fun challenge! I’m talking swoon-worthy-jaw-dropping goodness over there. Check it out here.
Wish us luck! Fingers crossed!!
And a HUGE thank you for my sponsors on this makeover!

Oh I can't wait to see how it all turns out! The mood board is gorgeous, as usual. And, that rug is amazing!
Colette, you've got such an amazing space to work with! Those ceilings…I have eye hearts everywhere looking at those photos. I love your style board and can't wait to see how you transform this space!
Typically I am not a super big fan of anything pink, but I LOVE the blush with the blues and golds. I'm already thinking about our entryway makeover (I know, one project at a time…), and I'm probably doing navy and light gray paint there. Contemplating a pink-ish rug now!
Wow!! Its going to look awesome my friend!! I am loving the color palette and inspiration. Can't wait to see this one evolve.
thanks Sarah!!
Thank you Theresa for following along!
GO PINK! You won't regret it 🙂 Especially with the navy!
Thanks Lauren!!!!
Can't wait to see it progress, Colette!! Sounds like it will be lovely and very true to your style 🙂
Oh, I love those big windows and vaulted ceilings! I'm excited to see the space come together.
