Welcome back to One Room Challenge Week 5! If you’re just joining in the fun, One Room Challenge (ORC), created by Linda from Calling it Home, is a 6 week challenge where 20 talented professional designers, and professional bloggers/interior designers at heart, like myself, redo a room in their home or a clients. I’m transforming our master bedroom. To see the full transformation you can start at the beginning, Week 1.
Last week I gave you a sneak peak at all the fun accessories I’ve found for our master bedroom! I also had several outstanding items on my “punch/to do list”. Here’s a sneak peak of where I am today.
This is the last shot of the room before the big reveal! I didn’t want to give away too much, but as you can see I made a decision on the toss pillows.
Gold Tray
Operation gold tray is complete! I found this beautiful silver Greek key mirrored tray at HomeGoods that matches perfectly with the gold Greek key picture frame. A little antique gold spray paint and voila, I have myself a gold tray!
Wall Art
The blue hand painted patchwork tiles from Ballard Designs that I was waiting weeks for finally arrived yesterday! They look even better in person.
Antique family mirror or grey distressed wood mirror
After following up with at least 20 different mirror and glass companies, no one in Charlotte is able to cut beveled non straight edges. Thus, I went back to the first mirror and glass shop and paid for my grandparents mirror to be replaced without beveled edges. Down side, it will take a few weeks. Upside, on my third trip to HomeGoods this week I found a beautiful grey distressed sunburst like mirror. I absolutely love it! However, I’m not sold on it right above the dark wood dresser.
Of course it wouldn’t be a week without a major down side. If you recall, I have an upholstered headboard, Pottery Barn (Riley), and want to make it custom by adding nailhead and grey fabric trim similar to the photos below.
A Thoughtful Place
I finally talked to someone at Design Services of Charlotte and followed up with an e-mail for an estimate. Despite my additional attempts to follow up, I have yet to receive any estimate, and at this point it’s not feasible in my timeline. UGH! Back to the drawing board…
I headed over to Lowes and bought myself some nailhead trim, a heavy duty stapler, and staples. Yes, that’s right another DIY project is underway and I’m attempting to do nailhead and fabric trim on my own. Bonus to not having to pay a seamstress for nailhead and fabric trim detail on my headboard is being able to splurge on new sconces that will go well with the room’s fixtures.
Here’s a sneak peak at some of the other accessories I found.
Silver candle holder find in Sarasota
White wired basket for magazines or blankets
Here is my initial punch/to do list and what is still outstanding:
- Nailhead and fabric trim on upholstered headboard
- Hang wall art above bed – In progress
- Install new wall sconces
- Replace broken antique mirror with beveled glass
- Find grey or neutral arm chair/pillows for blue arm chair
- Toss pillows for bed
- Accent table
- Bench for foot of bed
- White inlay wall mirrors
- Hang additional wall art and paintings
- Buy new wall sconces
- Gold tray for dark wood dresser
- White mirrored tray
- Purchase additional accessories for the room
One more week to go, let’s do this!
It’s looking great! Wonderful job!
Katie, you’re too kind thank you!
That looks great! Love the bedding – can’t wait to see the finished room!
Kristen, thank you for your kind words! Me too!
I’m sure you will be able to pull of the nail head trim on your own 🙂 The bedding looks great so far. Good luck in the final week!
Kathleen, many thanks for your kind words and encouragement! Honestly, it’s just what I needed! No major plans this weekend=time to tackle the nailhead trim. 🙂
It all looks so inviting! Can’t wait to see the reveal! Home stretch! We can do this!

Celine, thank you! I needed my own cheering section, ha!
Looking good! That stinks about the seamstress but DIY is always a good route 🙂 Can’t wait for the reveal!
Thank you! Same here on your room! I know, I’m trying to get over it and your positive feedback is what’s pushing me onward, thank you!
You can totally rock the DIY! Love the pillows and accessories! xo
Thank Mallory! You’re the pro when it comes to DIY!
Love what you have done if you have not replaced the mirror check at a stained glass studio for custom beveling. Glass artisans will use stock as well as custom bevels. If you can’t find it local to you try http://www.savannahriverartglass.com/
Diana, thank you so much for your kind words and assistance. I will check them out, although I gave up and took my mirror into the first shop and skipped the beveling.
Looks great!! Can’t wait for that reveal!
Tara, thank you! Same to you girl!
I so love your pillows! I waaaay overdue for new bedding and this inspires me to make my own. Your room is lovely!
Oops, I meant to say that I am way overdue for new bedding!
Shelia, many thanks for your kinds words! Same to you! If only I had a real laundry room and not one in a closet in our kitchen. One day.
