Welcome Back to the One Room Challenge, Week FIVE!
Okay, you all. I am officially freaking out over here!!! I have SO MUCH TO DO!
If this is your first visit, you must catch up!
My family can thank Linda, from Calling it Home, for organizing the challenge that mommy is consumed with right now.
We got the mirror hung! Hooray! Wasn't that Craiglist photo hilarious? It is the perfect size here.
Next, I made a template for the backsplash out of paper to see if I liked the style. I do! Sent it off to the fabricator with a "rush" note on it.
Now, for the fun part.... sketching out my mural.
Working away in the wee hours.
I decided to paint a mural of our property, starting with the gazebo.
It will take many layers to get everything just right.
I couldn't leave out Eleven Gables!
I have been giving some sneak peeks over on Instagram.
I had this custom seagrass rug made at a local rug store. It is such a narrow size, I couldn't find a ready made one anywhere.
Remember my template?
The backsplash was delivered and installed in the nick of time! Whew!
Now to get everything finished up and photographed for you next week. I am really excited to see this space completed!!
Thank you so much for joining me and encouraging me along the way! I am honored that you have stuck with me through this. Big hugs to each of you.

ReplyDeleteLaughing so hard at the comment of your family thanking Linda... That's what I keep telling my husband, too. "IT'S NOT ME – IT'S LINDA!" or "IT'S NOT MY FAULT – GO TALK TO LINDA!" It's quite convenient, so Linda, if you're reading this: THANK YOU. LOL
ReplyDeleteAbout the room, you already know I love it all, but I am MOST excited about that mural and still can't wrap my mind around the fact that 1) You have SO much talent!!! and 2) You're hand-drawing your property!!! Yourself!!! Free-handing!!! AHHHH... Sorry for all the exclamation points and capital letters, but I feel it gets my point across a little better. ;) Next week will be amazing.
It is stunning already and cannot imagine who amazing it will look when it is completed....
