Welcome to Week 5 of the One Room Challenge hosted by Linda of Calling it Home.
You can see our initial plans here and the following weeks here: Week 2/ Week 3/ Week 4.
Oh boy are we feeling the stress around here!! We had several hiccups along the way this week and I’m just keeping my fingers (and toes) crossed that this room comes together the way I envisioned. Our room without a doubt has a long way to go before our reveal next Thursday, so here’s to chugging along. Hey, I help deliver babies so I can handle a little room renovation stress right? Riiiiight.
You know what else didn’t help this week? THE WORLD SERIES! We are a Chicago sports fan family and wouldn’t you know it the Cubs made history this week in a game 7-10 inning-kinda way. So, while I’m so happy for them it wasn’t awesome for our room. How could the husband possibly do any work with that going on?! (insert eye roll).
So last week I left you with the built-ins looking like this:

Oh my goodness, those built-ins are going to be fabulous!
The built ins look amazing and I love the curtains! Excited for the final reveal next week!
those built-ins are going to be sturdy! Is it bad that I like your curtains better than the original? they have a lighter feel. Good luck with the rest of the challenge!
Thanks Amanda! I sure hope so!
Thank you! I'm glad you like the curtains!!
OH yes Morgane they definitely will be sturdy. I'm glad you like my curtains better hehe
Thanks Sabrina! I'm nervous and excited!

Curtains are awesome! I love them, good work. Good luck, almost there!

Oh wow, sorry to hear about the little hiccups. I love the curtains and the build ins. I can't wait to see the final reveal next week!!!
I feel your pain on the upholstry project, it's soooooooo expensive! Lace trim looks great, good work finding the solution! Can't wait you see this room and those built-ins!! Congrats to the Cubs too! They definitely earned that win!
Those built-ins are going to be incredible…I can already tell! Oh, I feel your pain with the little hiccups along the way. Here's to 1 more week until the full reveal and for everything to be totally worth it! I'm loving all of these transformations!
I love how the curtains turned out! So pretty and soft!
Well, the builtins look amazing so far!!! You'll get it all done and then you can drink all the bottles of wine and admire your new room. Can't wait to see the full reveal!
Those built ins are going to be amazing when they are done!
