ORC Week 6 – Master Bedroom Reveal

It’s Week 6 of the One Room Challenge! We made it! I’m so excited to share my reveal today and to see the other linking participants’ rooms (see them here)! Of course I have to take a moment to thank Linda from Calling it Home for organizing the challenge and motivating me to finish my bedroom. Thanks Linda! Oh, one quick note - I’m working on a source list and budget breakdown for the room and will have that post up next week. *Update: See source list and budget breakdown post here

OK, before we get into the after pictures, let’s walk through the before pictures. When I bought the house it was painted this yucky green color and had brown blinds.

Once I moved in, I painted the room gray and added furniture (including my stenciled upholstered headboard) and curtains. It was better than before, but it wasn’t exactly the look I was going for. Unfortunately, it stayed like that for years while I worked on other projects.

Finally last fall I decided to completely makeover the room. I painted the walls a dark navy color and added a few new pieces of furniture.

And then I lost steam on the project…but then I joined in on the One Room Challenge and here we are today!

So, I didn’t finish everything as planned, but I’m so much closer to finishing this room than I was six weeks ago. Seriously, this challenge was just the kick I needed to get things ordered and finished up around the room. There are still a few things I need to add/change, but I think we can all agree it looks better than it did six weeks ago!

Sam, I love that deep dark color on your walls, especially with the white bedding! The window nook came out great too as a seating area, and your gallery wall looks fabulous!

Thr room is beautiful! Love the Piccadilly Circus sign! The white things in the room really pop against the rich navy walls! Great job on the gallery wall too!
