It’s the long-awaited day of the One Room Challenge reveal.
A big thank you to Linda at Calling it Home for hosting this event!
To see my previous ORC posts go here, here, here, here and here.
Let’s get started by showing you where we began:
It was a room that served many purposes — an exercise space, craft storage and blogging/homework area.
The room had not been painted since we moved in 14 years ago and the carpet was badly stained and needed replacing.
Here is the room today:
The room has come a long way but I have to confess that it’s not completely done.
Here’s the other side of the room:
I’m not trying to throw my husband under the bus, but this side is up to him. In his defense, he’s waiting for the speaker stands — they had to be re-ordered because the box he received was damaged, missing a few parts and the base was scratched. The store has re-ordered them but they haven’t arrived yet. In addition, he has been away on business and had to stop getting everything set up because he just ran out of time before his trip.
As for the window treatments, I purchased these Levelor blinds from Lowe’s:
They are still sitting in the box. My husband will, hopefully, install the blinds this weekend.
I plan to make curtains to go with the blinds. I was waiting for this fabric that is on back order:
But, after I found the blue and white poufs at Lowe’s, I decided to go with a navy ticking stripe fabric from Online Fabric Store instead.
It’s on its way here but didn’t make it in time for Week 6 of the ORC.
The room is so, so close! Once my husband installs the blinds and rigs up his media equipment, we’ll be good to go! I will definitely post updated pictures when everything is complete.

Today I’m thankful for the means and ability to update this room. I feel lucky to be able to create a room just for my husband and me.

Julie, your room looks beautiful! I love leather and it looks so great with blue! The gallery wall is perfect! I’ve already pinned it!
So warm and elegant!! Amazing transformation…well done!!
It looks beautiful! I love the gallery wall and all of the accent pieces. I’m sure the other side will be amazing too once it’s done!
This turned out so beautifully. Love that wall gallery. I am sure you will really enjoy this room. Gorgeous.
It’s lovely now, the wall gallery is great!
Looks fantastic! I really like your color scheme and the artwork. The road runner is so neat! I can’t believe you found those poufs at Lowes!
Great job, the transformation is incredible!
What a transformation! Looks like a cozy space.
I love the room so far! It all looks great, especially the color scheme you’ve chosen. But I think my favorite is the gallery wall above the sofa….great prints! Thanks for sharing – looking forward to seeing the full reveal!
Blessings,
Lanita
Looks great! Love those poufs.
What an amazing transformation! A true job well done. I adore the color palette you selected. It feels fresh and fun. The six weeks went by so fast. I completed our entry, living and dining areas in a new to us 30 year old house. So, cheers to us! Have a wonderful week.
Your room made me smile – I can feel and see, the love that went into this space! Love your gallery wall feature the most! Great job!
Not only did you create a beautiful space, your thankfulness is lovely. The pops of blue and white are fantastic. I just saw those poofs at Lowes and really liked them. Well done.
I love your space. I must admit I am very fond of your gallery wall :-).
I love the balance of the navy and leather. And I LOVE that curtain fabric! Congrats on all you’ve accomplished!
I’ve got a whole list of finishing details to tackle too. Not the least of which is cleaning up the rest of my house after the bomb-of-styling-a-kitchen went off. 😉
You are so cute divulging that little secret of the “other side”….We would have never known:) I think it will look great when those few task are done! Such a good start….
Love the cozy couch and the gallery wall – what a great reveal! Congrats!
