One Room Challenge - Sources



Holy cow, thank you for all of your support on my ORC room.  Makes the 6 week mania all the more worthwhile.  To see the entire evolution of the room from beginning to end, click the following links below:

WEEK 2:  Progress Report – Floors
WEEK 3:  Electricity
WEEK 4:  Upholstery
WEEK 5: Paint & Wallpaper
WEEK 6:  The Reveal

Before I get to the sources, let's talk tablecloth.  THE. TABLECLOTH.  Be still my beating maximal heart.  This fabric kicked off my entire color scheme for the kitchen and I was seriously bummed when I found out it would not be completed in time for the reveal.  But it was oh so worth the wait.  I could not love it any more if I tried.




chairs - IKEA | pillows - custom | candles - Caspari | tablecloth - custom | tablecloth fabric - (no markings) Fabric Shack
  

rug - Ohio Valley Antiques | pendant - Ballard Designs | chandelier - Ohio Valley Antiques | blue and white porcelain - my own collection | butcher block island - handmade by my in-laws | pagoda mirror - Treasure Barn | wallpaper - Scalamandre Parapluie | floor stain - Zar wood stain in Walnut |  wall paint - Sherwin-Williams Emerald paint in Great Green SW 6430 |  cabinet and trim paint - Sherwin-Williams ProClassic Interior Acrylic Latex paint in white

Seriously.  I was so smitten when I picked it up from my seamstress that I briefly considered ditching the whole tablecloth idea in favor of wearing it like a caftan, in a gloriously  insane Scarlett O’Hara meets Auntie Mame kinda way.  It checks every box for me.  Chintz – check.  Chinoiserie – check.  Bright colors – check.  Vibrant pattern play – check.  Dressmaker details – check.  My incredibly talented seamstress turned my vision into reality.  I came to her with gobs of fabric and an idea of a floor length skirt including Greek key trim and a contrast welt to ground the pattern.  She, in turn, worked her magic and created a stunning masterpiece.  The pleating alone quickens my pulse.  Soooo worth the wait.







monogram napkins - Celerie & South | brass rhino napkin holders - vintage | china - vintage Alfred Meakin Pastoral, Spode Pink Tower, and Johnson Bros from my mother's collection | silver - vintage german silver from my husband's grandmother | etched glass - vintage from my mother




sconces - Lamps Plus | leopard prints - The Pink Pagoda | rattan chair frame - Ficks Reed | cushions & pillows - custom


nude painting - vintage | acrylic pedestal - Pedigree Consignments  | ginger jar - vintage



marble backsplash - Ventano marble tiles from Lowes | oil painting - vintage


pineapple print - The Pink Pagoda | mirrored frame - Threshold for Target

A huge congratulations to my fellow participants for creating such amazing spaces and living to tell the ORC tale!  The caliber of work this round was crazy good.  Bravo!

One Room Challenge - Week 6 - The Reveal



Welcome back to week 6 of The One Room Challenge™.   Today I am going to dispense with my usual jibber jabber and get right to the reveal.  But first I want to extend some big thanks you’s:  a huge thank you and congratulations to Linda of Calling It Home for organizing this amazing challenge and including me among such widely talented folks; a million thank you's go out to my mister without whom none of this would have been possible - this ORC was another down-to-the-wire situation and there were more than a few moments when I really questioned whether I could pull this off but thanks to the tireless efforts of my mister and my in laws we accomplished a lot in six weeks for having done everything ourselves; and last, but certainly not least, thank you to YOU for following along.  All of your comments and well wishes kept this party rocking.  To see the entire evolution of the room from the beginning, click the following links below:

And now on to the reveal.  Sadly, I did not get the custom table cloth (the Lebowski element) back in time from the seamstress which is sort of a major bummer as it was the jumping off point for the entire color scheme of green, pink, and blue – so if things seem a little disparate, know that the tablecloth ties everything together.  When that beaut arrives I will be sure to share.  And now on with the show…












































And now I drink.  Heavily.  A detailed source post will be forthcoming. Go check out everyone else's reveals!
