ONE ROOM CHALLENGE FINAL REVEAL FALL 2016





I know y'all have a lot to get to today with 20 reveals so I am going to keep it fairly short with details coming later!  



I'm gonna try anyway:)

First of all....thanks to Linda from Calling It Home for including me.  I have been lucky to participate in almost all of the One Room Challenges and I am so grateful for her trust in my ability to put out a good room!  Sniff sniff.....emotional.

20 incredibly talented designers have worked tirelessly for your pleasure so hat's off to everyone.  And a serious shout out to my clients for your patience:)


As you know my bedroom, along with my whole house is white [including my floors!] but for some reason I got a wild hair and went dark.

And that is why they call me "crazy Sherika".....I will keep you guessing!

Before!

After.....Benjamin Moore Iron Mountain


As you know my Bernhardt bedside dresser didn't make it




 BUT...... I painted this bad boy up and she is representing....ha ha.

The first thing I picked was the Karastan Rug so that set the tone for the room.  
And I love the legs on the Lamps Plus benches!


The Annie Selke bedding is one of my fav elements of the room and adds an abundance of texture!


Cami said it's so comfy!



Here are my bird prints that I got from Scott's all framed up!





Before....




The Lee Industries chair that got recovered and my Schumacher pillow takes center stage!









The Stanley dresser that I purchased through Red Pen Procurement is gorgeous!

Before

This was where the armoire held my TV.....one of the good things about dark walls is the TV recedes!  Remember I showed you that one of the drawers drops down to hold the cable box.


  
After


I was afraid that the Arteriors floor Lamp from ATG stores was too big but I am getting used to it!  

Before....

After...

You can also see how nicely the Metrie trim looks to frame out the ceiling!
I actually purchased this light from Mitchell Gold before my photo shoot for Atlanta Magazine and it's perfect!

Before....

After
The new Metrie backband trim frames out my pocket doors!

This gallery wall in between the closet and bath room was a last minute decision.  I actually thought the 4 birds would be here but after receiving the Minted Art [top 2 prints and the one on the floor]  it needed height and impact!


The AGT Stores Jamie Young lamp is perfect on this console that my friend Phil Kazmark made for me when the one I wanted was backordered! 





Before....

The Thibaut textured wallpaper helped to warm up the bathroom and take the focus away from my travertine tile:)  I painted the trim and ceiling with the Williamsburg paint to get a cohesive  look!




The Bellacor lights give me twice the light I used to have!


Love the new Kohler Purist faucets!



The rug from AllModern

These great towels above and below from AllModern




And there you have it.  These pictures were taken by my good friend Tina Rowden and I am so appreciative:)

I will share my crappy pictures this weekend!  All the details and more shots! 

Please take a moment to visit all the reveals today.....it will take your mind off the election results:)

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE FALL 2016 WEEK FIVE





Can I just put this out there before we get started.....after a kitchen reno followed by a bedroom makeover......I want a weekend where I am not thinking of how to make something work or worrying if it's going to get done on time.

Girl needs a break.

Welcome back people....to the One Room Challenge.  Week 5.....You now realize some things might not turn out exactly like your vision.........hee haw! 

Trying to completely overhaul a room in 6 weeks is not for sissy's  

Since I've done a few of these.....this period is known as "do or die".


It would make me feel good to know that one or two of the 20 talented people above feel the same way as I do.....because as a designer there are always times when you have to improvise on a job.  I calm myself by saying....."we are not attempting world peace".....

Let's get started on some highs and lows of the week.

The before picture of my faucets

After with the new Kohler Purist


Purdy huh?

The lights that I ordered from Bellacor made me question my brain function.


These Hudson Valley sconces had one "arm" too many!  No way....no how were they going to work and I had to eat crow and beg for a new selection.

They were SO nice and let me re-select.  Do you know how many sconces I had to go through on their site?  Like a million.   The verdict is still out that they arrive on time and get installed....fingers crossed.
The above lights have been there for 23 years....and hopefully to be replaced with these Hudson Valley double light sconces.  I will go from [1] 60w bulb on each side to [2] 100 watt bulbs on each side.  

Get some light up in here.....

 This Schumacher wallpaper finally came down after 20 years.....I loved it so much.
The walls were painted with Benjamin Moore Williamsburg Brand paint and the Thibaut paper went up.  The room is definitely taking on a more masculine look but I brought in some pretty towels to help with that:)




My rug from AllModern came and it was definitely a good choice!

Meanwhile I received these 2 benches from another ORC sponsor Lamps plus....

The rope covered legs will add some much needed texture in the room.  Only one minor problem.  The navy and white stripe fabric was no bueno.  So I got busy.




Lesson.....easy change with some fabric and a staple gun for instant gratification!

This happened on Monday.


Curtains to soften this big window.  Don't get me wrong.....I love my 5" plantation shutters.  They let in loads of light, give me complete blackout for sleeping and easy to operate.  

But then a little softness never hurt anybody right? Thanks Sudi:)

 The most beautiful bedding arrived from another ORC sponsor Annie Selke and I am thrilled!



And I got the chair back from the upholster but was at a loss for which fabulous pillow to put in it.  I searched Etsy but it seemed like everything I loved was being used in another ORC room.

Drats.

So when I was at ADAC the other day I saw this pillow.....
AND.....realized that I wanted something graphic but also feminine.  The showroom could not tell me anything about this one [it was a little too small for me] but I felt inspired.

Headed up to one of my favorite showrooms Schumacher and rounded the corner to this brand spanking new fabric.  Tulip Flamestitch Embroidery.

I love that it has a vintage nature to it [it's actually inspired by a 1920's Schumacher fabric]. 


It arrived yesterday....yep this is me making decisions on the fly!

Texture from a throw.....

My Karastan Rug came so the old rug came up

Don't get me wrong....I love this rug and it will actually still work in the room so I will keep it around in case of a rug catastrophe from a dog 
or something :)


Last thing on the list.  This gorgeous Arteriors floor lamp arrived from another ORC sponsor ATG Stores

Only one problem.....this sucker is as tall as a pro basketball player.  Yup....not sure how I am gonna pull this off and make it work but it definitely kept me up all last night thinking about it!

Crikey.

It's always something.

This is it folks.....nothing more until next Wednesday when pencils down and the buzzer goes off!

Check out what's happening with the 19 other bloggers WHO ARE PROBABLY ALREADY FINISHED!


Bitter......party for one.
