21 Apr One Room Challenge - Version 2.0…Week Three
Well hello and welcome back to my second go at finishing off a master bedroom as part of the…
If you’re new here and feel like catching up on this room’s ORC history, you can catch up on weeks one and two, and/or my failed attempt at the last 6 week round.
For today, I’ve got some debate updates on some selections to discuss, since not much has changed with the room itself.
Last week I talked about how I wanted to switch up the original design plan a bit to incorporate a little more black and perhaps some burgundy goodness.
Like if these two rooms…
…got together and had a traditional/modern love child.
I spent this week trying to nail down my fabrics to make it all happen.
On the burgundy front, I’ve wanted to use Gretchen Belliger’s velvet foreves…
…so that’s happening on my Stellar Works chairs…
For the settee, I’ve been pouring through black vinyl options. Originally, I wanted to channel the leather but I completely forgot that there’s a loose seat cushion so that just won’t work. So…cool vinyls for the win. At the beginning of the week, I convinced myself that I could finally take the plunge on my favourite animal printed fabric lovlieness of all time…Dedar Croco…
Unfortunately, the monies on this bad girls are just too high so I’ve been looking around for some alternatives. These dudes are all in the running…
Option 1 or 2 are probably my favourites. We shall see.
On the fabric front, I just got a sneak peek at my hand painted Hollie Cooper curtain magic and it’s well…
MAGIC! So excited to see this turned into drapes!
What else!?!? Oh yes…I had a bit of a set-back on the sconce front. Originally, I sourced these Lambert et Fils beauties…
…but it doesn’t look like I’ll be able to get them in time. Normally I’d choose what I really wanted over the pressure of a reveal but I’ll be damned if I’m not going to make this 6 week deadline again so the search continues.
I got pretty excited when I found these amazing things from Worksted…
…and thought my perseverance had paid off, but alas, same problemo with production times…there’s just no way I’d get them in 3 weeks. My search is actually doubly limited…both because of time, but also because I’m looking for plug ins.
If the darn lack of electrical box think wasn’t an issue, I’d bag these Kelly Wearstler nirvanas up and call it a day…
But alas it is.
So to sum the lighting situation up, I’m sort of back to square one and looking at more off the shelf options. The knock-off Mouille is always a possibility but I’ve used those quite a bit and really want something a bit different. Any suggestions at this point would be very welcome:)
And with that last little assistance request, I’ll call this week a day.

And then, of course also read through all the linking business…there’s a lot of solidly awesome stuff going on.
