One Room Challenge: Spring 2015 ~ Week 1

SOOOOO Excited!!!!! It is One Room Challenge time again!!!!
This is my fourth time participating in the One Room Challenge. I am so glad that Linda at Calling it Home hosts this event every year. I love meeting the other bloggers who are participating, so please leave a comment, so I can learn more about you and check out your room. And if you are just here to be inspired by all the great room design creativity, welcome! Feel free to follow along by subscribing to my email list in the sidebar.
The best thing about the ORC for me is that I actually get a room done in my house. Here are past rooms I put together....
For this One Room Challenge I am going to work on the entry way of my house. I plan on redoing the carpet on the stairs, style and add artwork to the table that everyone first lays their eyes on when they walk in the house, and spruce up with new wallpaper and a few accessories the powder room which is just to the left as you walk in the door. Here are the before pictures of the space....



The one thing I do know is that the powder room will have many of the elements of the room in this picture. I just love it as it is definitely my style, and I will be constantly referring back to it as I pick out things for the powder room. Now what to do with the stairs is another story.....
We are big fans of #brass cage lights! Sarah Richardson is a ingenious interior designer. That blue is amazingly perfect!
I honestly have not done much advanced work yet for this room. I have some ideas swirling around my head, and I started a Pinterest Board to get some inspiration, but I don't have a set plan yet. By next week though I should have everything firmed up and a clear design for the space, so be sure to check back then!
And head on over to Calling It Home to see what everyone else is planning for their room.

    I love the rooms you have done on your other ORCs. I'm sure this one will be just as fabulous. I literally just found out about the ORC yesterday and decided I'd give it a try and work on our main bathroom ( over at www.the-organized-life.com ). YIKES! I'm super excited for the challenge and it's SO fun knowing others are going through the process with us. Good luck! Can't wait to see the end result!

    Love Sara's kitchen, and I would use that as inspiration too. I know you will do a great job.
