Hello and Happy Thursday! I hope you’re having a fantastic week!
I have been all over the board this week, working on a design project, creating ribbon craft projects for a client and trying to make final decisions for the One Room Challenge (ORC). And in case you missed it, last week I shared before photos of our master bedroom and my vision for the space. You can catch up with Week 1 of the ORC here.
Now that we are in week 2 of the challenge, I’m excited because today I’m sharing the inspiration board for my space. But, before I do that here’s another look at my vision for the makeover.
With my vision outlined, I created my mood board and was ready to start ordering the final pieces I need for the room. Then I hit a hurdle with the wallpaper.
I’ve had two different wallpaper samples hanging up on the wall for weeks and thought I had made a decision on which one I was going with.
My initial choice was this pretty floral design in pink, grey and gold. I love the bold pattern, soft colors and how well the pattern works with the bed, brass finishes and accents of black. Mr. Confetti really likes this wallpaper too which had me convinced.
Here’s my initial mood board design which I’m calling Pretty In Pink…
MOOD BOARD #1
Then I began to give the other wallpaper design a little more consideration and found myself gravitating towards it.
This design is still soft and pretty but with a little more whimsy and pops of color. I love the looseness of the pattern and the dark background which will add more depth to the room. And there are gold/tan accents in the design so the brass elements work with this pattern too.
One of the reasons I find myself gravitating towards this design a bit more is because I think it relates better to the other rooms in my house.
Here’s the second mood board I created which I’m calling Whimsical Vines…
MOOD BOARD #2
Design Tip:Not every room in your home needs to have the same design aesthetic. But there should be some common threads that runs throughout your decor that makes it relate–design style, finishes or accent colors.
Most of the elements on each mood board are the same with the exception of the wallpaper, curtains and maybe the bedding. The room will incorporate brass accents, different shades of grey and my favorite animal print. I think both concepts check all the boxes for the vision I have for the space.
Decisions, decisions!

WHAT’S YOUR PICK?
So friends, I need your help picking the wallpaper design. I’d really appreciate it if you’d leave a comment here or on Instagram and let me know what design you like best. I’m hoping to make a final decision by Monday. Here’s a snapshot of the wallpaper patterns, colors and elements from each mood board to help you pick a winner.
Is it Pretty In Pink?
Or Whimsical Vines?
While the decision is being made, I’m going to continue to chip away at my project list. So far I’ve got the rug in place, bench to upholsterer, scheduled the TV installation and finished painting. Week 3, I’m ready for you!
FYI–I’ll be sharing all of the sources for the items I’m using in the room during the Week 6 reveal.
Be sure to tune into the blog every Thursday to see how my design plans are evolving. And hop over to the ORC website to check out the 20 featured designers and hundreds of other guest participants.

Thanks so much Jennette!
Sheila L Halter says
I must say with your personality I think the first one would be my pick.
Looking forward to seeing which one you chose.

So I’m not sure if you’re doing the wall behind the bed or the whole room – I actually prefer the second paper – the first one
Might overwhelm the room if you’re doing the whole room.
Linda says
I love Whimsical Vines, but I’m sure whatever you do will be beautiful! Can’t wait to see what you choose!
ConfettiStyle says
Hi Linda,
Thanks for caring your vote for my wallpaper selection and for following my ORC challenge makeover. I’m excited to share the winner in a few weeks.

I like the second better for two reasons, it has a more graphic punch because the background green in stronger. Also it somehow feels more calming to me. I think the bed will take on a stronger role with that one, but I guess we will see what you design.
ConfettiStyle says
Thanks for casting your pick for my wallpaper design. Your points are spot on with that second pattern. I look forward to sharing the winner soon.
