It is time for the reveal of my One Room Challenge!
To see the before you can look back to Week One, Week Two, Week Three, Week Four and Week Five.
I am super excited to have this room finished for my family. We LOVE it!
It looks even better in person! I can’t believe I waited so long to do this!
I hope you enjoy seeing our new space.
Remember the Before…
Adding the wood planks to the sides of the mantel changed the entire feel of this room. Before it was dominated by the brick and it sucked up every ounce of light that came in.
All of the trim, walls and bookcases are painted BM Simply White in semi-gloss.
The art came from my husbands grandparents house and his great aunt painted it. The large basket also came from the great aunt.
My son has a collection of wooden boats and my father in law gave him this one for his birthday last year. It is really big and trying to find a place for it has been a challenge. This worked out great!
In the end I ended up using orange fabric. I was shocked at how much I loved it. I normally would never choose this color.
After the planks were installed I knew they need something. I found these simple candle sconce and added the black and white stripe candles for a fun twist. I love them!
One of the things I am really excited about is the fact that there are so many items in this room that have special family meaning. Those silhouettes are my husbands grandparents. The ones in the bookcase are my father in law and my husband. The blue candy dish above was a mother’s day gift from my son a few years ago. Because he knows I love blue and vintage things.
All of the shells in the lamp are from our trips to Pawleys Island, South Carolina.
The rocks were picked up on our honeymoon.
The TV console we built out of lumber and I added the skirt to hide much-needed storage.
Thanks to Linda from Calling It Home for hosting the One room Challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!

What a cozy, beautiful room for your family!
Thank you, Jennifer! We are really enjoying it! Loved your Master Bedroom. So fun and beautiful!
The wood added to the fireplace does make a tremendous difference! Very creative! Great job!
Your room looks fabulous! It is so warm, welcoming and full of soul and personality. Those planks around the fire place absolutely changed the room — well done!
Love the warmth your room exudes and all the little touches you added to make it look pretty! Great job!
What an amazing transformation! A true job well done. I adore the color palette you selected. It feels fresh and classic. 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 weekend.
Joy this is a beautiful room. I love all of the memories that you placed throughout. This might sound crazy but that white duck [?] on the coffee table is one of my favorite things in the room:) Addressing the fireplace wall was key also. Wonderful job!!!
Thank you Sherry! That white duck is one of my favorite things as well.
I would love to spend time in this room. It looks fresh and inviting. And how adorable are those striped candles. Well done, and thanks for jumping in.
Thanks Linda! I really enjoyed linking up. I am so motivated to keep going!
Who knew adding those white planks on the fireplace would make such a difference? Bookcases are always a plus and I love that orange fabric. You must love your room!
This looks so great! Love how you brightened the room!!!
Wow! Adding those white planks to the side of the fireplace made such an impact on the room. It makes it feel so much brighter! Great job.
Great transformation! So cozy, country style. The new fireplace surrounding is fantastic, love it:)
You did such a beautiful job on this space! The planks on the fireplace made such a huge difference, and I love the console that you built. I appreciate that you used numerous sentimental items. It makes the space so much more personal. Well done!
Oh my goodness your room is beautiful! I love that you added the trim and builtins around the brick wall. It really brightened up the room! I also love that so many of the items you used were personal items. You did a wonderful job! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Love all the changes you made! Those bookcases are fantastic flanking the fireplace!
So fresh and classic!! Well done!!
Wow!! This space is gorgeous. I love that fireplace wall and the builtins. So pretty. You have done an amazing job with your accessories too. Everything looks so up to date and fresh plus stunning. Perfect makeover.
The before was awesome but the after is just STUNNING!!! I love how it makes me feel just from pictures and can’t wait to see it in person. Best part is the meaning and value behind the décor. Fabulous idea for wooden boats and I will be borrowing that idea for our lake house! Awesome job Joy!
