Week Six?? I seriously cannot believe I just typed that! It's time to kick into high gear! If you haven't already heard, Linda has extended this round of ORC to seven weeks. Between all of the natural disasters in California, Texas and Florida, she felt that everyone needed a little extra time to pull their rooms together. The new reveal dates are November 15 for the featured designers and November 16 for the linking participants.
You may have noticed that I completely skipped Weeks Four and Five. The last two weeks have been incredibly busy ones, and now I need to take up speed painting and go on a serious sewing binge. #cuethecaffeine
Honestly, there's nothing pretty to show right now! The sheetrock patching has been done and we will wrap up painting this weekend.
The only other thing I managed to accomplish this past week was find a lamp shade to replace one of the dark ones. Isn't this pretty? I really could use two of these, so I'll be wasting more time running around again to see if I can locate a mate! LOL I'm really glad that this is the last glimpse that you all will get of this dreary yellow paint color :)
My honey brought me this beautiful orchid the other day! I'm so thrilled to have this pretty plant for our newly brightened decor.
Done so far:
Buy gorgeous beyond gorgeous rug - check!
Locate missing can of blue paint for cabinet touch up - tore the house apart, searched our scary garage, and found the paint a week later. In the cabinet. Insert eyeroll.
Choose pillow fabric
One lamp shade
Buy second faux sheepskin - exact match, check!
Find a garden stool
Still left to do:
Finish patching and painting walls
Touch up blue cabinet
Sewing: pillows, table drape, sofa cushion cover, drapery trim - yikes!
Decide on art
Coffee table???
Remaining lamp shades???
Visiting for the first time? On Week One, I confessed I was only 12 hours into making the decision to join, on Week Two I finally came up with a design plan, and on Week Three the beautiful, life-changing rug arrived! You'll find Week Six of the featured designers here and the linking participants here.
xoxo, Andrea
Stay with it, you'll get there!
Will your cats not attack the orchid? My Sophie would destroy it quickly.
