ONE ROOM CHALLENGE : WEEK THREE

April 16, 2015 · 1 Comment

Welcome back for week three of the One Room Challenge!

If you are new here be sure to check out WEEK ONE and WEEK TWO.

We have finally settled on a plan for the way we are adding the wood to the brick and built-ins. We have encountered a few challenges along the way but I’m really excited to have that part figured out!

This week I want to share a few more details to the design.

I want to lighten up the brick to make it look more like what I call “Charleston brick”.  That is not the name of my brick but the name of what I see in my head!  Try explaining that to your husband! LOL

My goal is to lighten the mortar and the brick in a way that it will look original.  I think I have finally found the solution.

Next up new pillows.  I found these fabric last week and will be using one or two of them.

It’s beautiful and we love it but not sure if  in the end it will stay in this room.  I also want more family pictures and I have a pretty good collection of Audubon prints or some type of botanical prints above the sofa.

Pulled all together I think it is going to be our favorite room in the house.

Come back next week to hopefully see all the trim and woodwork installed. For now here are a few more beautiful images from the home of my inspiration photo.
