The space is complete, and let me just say, WHEW. You may remember last ORC I had some problems with contractors and was convinced there was no way my project could come together on time. Little did I know, things actually could get even crazier than that. But, we're looking forward instead of back, and I’m ready to throw a party because I could NOT be happier with this space.

It's week six of the ORC, meaning that next week is the reveal -- AAAAH!! I'm going to keep this post short and sweet, because WOW things are hectic around here right now.  I want to be photo ready : ).

This week I’m checking upholstery off this ORC’s to-do list. It took me awhile to make a fabric decision because while my heart wanted white for the sofa and chairs, my brain kept reminding me, “you have a dog and a teenage daughter.”

I'll share more about the ups and downs of home renovation under time constraints in the next couple of weeks.  Wish me luck that there won't be sanding and painting just steps away from fluffing pillows and accessorizing hours before the photographer arrives!

Thank you for checking in on my ORC. It's quite a large scale project upon which I very ambitiously embarked -- oh my goodness. I'm opening up our kitchen/family and breakfast room and creating one open space as part of an entire ranch house renovation. To catch up, go here for Week One, and here for Week Two.

The One Room Challenge™ is my all time favorite interior design event, and I'm so happy to get to be here sharing my progress at Week Two.  A huge thank you to Lindafor including me in this incredible group! If you missed Week One, catch up here.  I'm tearing down a wall in my kitchen to create an open kitchen/family/breakfast space.
