Well, we made it to Week 3 of the One Room Challenge( ORC) and I’m happy to say that things are moving along…slowly but moving. In case you missed it, during Week 1, I shared before photos of our bedroom and my goals for the space.
Last week I shared the mood boards and solicited your help in picking a wallpaper design. Many of you cast your vote and it was kind of a toss up between the two choices. I”m excited to share which pattern I picked but you’ll have to wait for the final reveal to find out.
Heading into Week 3, I wanted to get a few things checked off the to-do list and Mr. Confetti and I were able to do just that.
The first thing we did was clear out the room to put the area rug down. After a few attempts to get it to lay flat, I ended up buying this carpet-to-carpet rug pad and it solved all of the creeping issues.
The rug I’m using in the room has a grey background with an off-white grid design. I love the graphic pattern and how good it works with the wallpaper and furniture I have in the room. This rug is definitely one of the best budget-friendly purchases I’ve made for our home. It’s from Home Depot and the 8′ x 10′ is under $200.
I know many of you have probably had challenges placing an area rug over wall-to-wall carpet so next week I’ll be sharing a Design Guide with tips and resources that will help resolve the common issues.
Next on the to-do list was getting the TV hung on the wall. I have someone coming out this afternoon to do that so I’ll be able to officially check that off the list.
I’m planning to create a gallery wall grouping to surround the TV and have been shopping for the perfect art pieces. The goal is to take the focus off the TV and add more personality into the room. Here’s a look at the design board I created for the wall.
So far all of the artwork I’m looking at is from Etsy and most of the pieces have a modern/contemporary vibe. While many of the elements in the room lean traditional, I think using modern art in the room will be a nice style mix. Once I decide on the final frame layout and images I’ll share the Etsy shops with you.
The final thing I checked off the list was probably the most exciting. My upholsterer delivered my bench. Isn’t it a beauty?
I’ve coveted this Jamil Leopard print fabric for years and was lucky to score several yards from a friend that was moving out of state. The bolt has been sitting in my office for over a year and I’m so excited to finally have a piece upholstered in this fabric.
That’s a wrap for Week 3 of the One Room Challenge. So far I’m loving how the room is coming along but there is still lots to do.

Great tips. I have to stay 80% traditional and do the 20% wild thang. LOL…. and it’s so hard to stay focused with all the fun furniture and accessories floating around out there. Love your fabric samples, too. Black always works…..amIrite? Your vision is really beginning to come together. See you next week. XO
