We've done quite a few of these challenges, and as I was telling my friend last night, I don't know if I'd be this far redoing the rooms in my home if it weren't for the ORC. Thank you Linda at Calling it Home! I haven't changed any of my rooms (yet) but I know Bethany is always tweaking her master bedroom. Here is where we are today.
We participated in the One Room Challenge featuring Bethany's master bedroom in August 2012.
A year and a half later, she's always tweaking, planning and changing her MBR 2.0 . She quickly tired of the busy pattern and upholstered a new headboard, is planning for new drapes in a neutral pattern and painted over the 'drop ceiling' illusion on the walls. Here it is today:
In March 2013, I joined another ORC to redo my laundry room. I was so pleased that my husband made all the cabinetry and Bethany and I had a ball doing the nailhead trim.
In November 2013, I participated in the ORC Link Party with a powder room reveal:
My current mission is my guest room makeover so stay tuned! The 'frequent redecorators' are at it again!
Oh this was fun, to see all your ORCs! Isn't it great to have a motivator to get something done in your home? That's why I commit to hosting holidays…….so I will actually pull my house together! Can't wait to see what's next for the PB Team and the ORC.
ReplyDeleteI remember all of your rooms and they were all great. I still love that rope pendant the best! I am going to link up again and I can't wait!!
ReplyDeleteIt's so fun visiting these fabulous rooms again! The old headboard, nailhead trims and the rope pendant are still my favorites! You both did a wonderful job!
ReplyDeleteP/S: Nancy, just wondering, do you have the link where we were mentioned at House Beautiful? I am curious to see what was it about. Send me the link when you get a chance? Thanks. Have a good day!
Bethany's bedroom is still quite a dream with her new headboard and bedding. And of course, you know how much I adore your super unique laundry space and powder room Nancy!!!! Can't wait to see what your gonna do with the guest room for the next ORC, I'm planning on working on the boy's bathroom if I can!
ReplyDeleteYou two are so good together! All those details make your rooms really special.
ReplyDeleteI still think of your laundry room when I'm standing in mine and wishing I had yours!
ReplyDeleteI loved your laundry room makeover but I think the "Spring into action" breakfast room is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you put those other rooms up - I hadn't seen them before. LOVE the trim in the laundry room! Lots of amazing details in all the rooms! Can't wait to see what you both do next!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing all of the rooms! Amazing then and now!
ReplyDeleteYour rooms always look exciting and fresh!
ReplyDeleteWow lady, you've accomplished a lot! I'm impressed and inspired!
ReplyDeleteThis is so much fun - I love all of your ORC room redo's! Hope you are having a wonderful day! xoxo
ReplyDeleteSo great to see the rooms again. I just love that laundry room!

Nancy, I love all your endeavors! Your laundry room is fabulous! I want to fix mine, but it's in the garage and the walls need to be replastered, but your inspires me!

I love the bedroom updates. And that nailhead/tape trim? Killing it. You ladies are just the bees knees.
ReplyDeleteGreat bedroom! Love the feeling/vibe, very impressive!
ReplyDeleteAll looking fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful room with great details! I love that colorful rug on the fifth image.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.
Hope to see you on my blog:)
nancy -- I had forgotten how much I loved that laundry room when I furst saw it. I'm doing a similar ribbon/nailhead accent trim (to hide the sketchy trim job I did when installing my fabulous Marco Polo wallpaper). Thought I was soooo creative -- I must have subconsciously been channelling your laundry room! Glad to know glue is NOT necessary. That detail is the one thing that's kept me from finishing that room -- I just do NOT want to fiddle with any more glue in there!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the update!
Frequent redecorators unite! :) I love all of your spaces. Bethany, you bedroom is one of my all time favorites.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the ORC is the perfect motivation!! I LOVE all of these rooms and my hands down favorites are the CB2 pendant and pottery in the bathroom and that nail-head trim kills me every time I see it! And you can never go wrong with monogrammed shams!! :)
