One Room Challenge Fall 2014: Week 3
Welcome to Week 3 of the ORC y’all!
You can check out the link up today at Calling It Home.
I just have one question for you…
It gets worse before it gets better…RIGHT???
This is the state of my bedroom with EVERYTHING emptied out of the closet. It’s like my closet threw up in here, it’s disgusting!
You know what I’ll be doing this weekend :(
So as always design plans change when the brain gets to thinking and the fingers get to searching the internet!
After removing the wire shelving on the back wall I couldn’t stomach leaving the rest up. I dislike them that much!
I have always liked the Martha Stewart Closet Organizer systems at Home Depot and I happened to find the one I wanted on sale! The sale price is gone now but I ended up getting it for $183 (with free shipping) which just seemed like a no brainer.
I’ve decided to utilize the right wall that doesn’t have an angled ceiling for my clothes storage. I’m planning to use the left wall for shoe storage and jewelry and accessories.
We finished sanding and spackling and got everything painted! The paint color is Filtered Shade by Valspar Reserve, the same as the bedroom, and I love it!
Also I acquired this mirror below (for free) so I’m going to use it instead of mounting one on the wall. I think I’m going to like having the full length mirror in here. Don’t worry, there will be a little DIY to the frame going on!
And here is a little teaser of something fun to come!
Progress Update
1. Remove wire shelving at the back of the closet (I removed it all!)
2. Add a mirror and dresser, shelf for sweater storage
3. Remove florescent light fixture and add a chandelier
4. Add a cozy rug, artwork and a possible ottoman
5. Create new shoe storage
6. DIY jewelry storage
7. Purge and organize clothes (in process as you can see!)
8. Add baskets for storage
***
So I feel like I’ve made some decisions and a little progress but I definitely have a busy week ahead!
Have a lovely weekend friends!
If you missed the plan and need to catch up here are Week 1 and Week 2 posts!
It’s going to be so good Summer! I love that shelving system you found.
Thanks so much Bethany!
It’s always worse before it gets better! It’s going to look so good Summer I cannot wait!
Thanks Krystine :)
Absolutely love the mirror and the color! The green is just beautiful! Looks like you are moving along in a great direction! Can’t wait to see it all come together :) P.S. Your little helper is just too cute!
Thank you so much! He loves to help :)
I think everyone can relate to “it gets worse before it gets better”. The bathroom we are remodeling for the challenge is a disaster right now haha! But everything you have accomplished so far looks great! Can’t wait to see the next updates!
Thanks so much Erin! Isn’t the ORC fun:)
I am right there with you, friend!!!! I’m with Beth! Head out this weekend…you deserve it!
Thanks so much Amber! We went apple picking again today, hehehe!
You are doing so good!! That purge had to feel like heaven! Have fun organizing this weekend…take a break and go to the Framer’s Market so you don’t go insane :)
Thanks so much Beth! We did sneak off to go apple picking for the 3rd time :)
That’s what my bedroom looked like this past week too. Fun fun
I’m losing my mind Julia but I made little headway yesterday :)
I love your little helper..and I love that little teaser. Paint looks great. xo
Thanks so much Celine :)
It always gets worse before it gets better. The upside is that you are hitting your worst part in WK3 rather then WK5 like I will likely do! Huzzah.
It does :) Thanks so much Emily!!
Great plan! And that Martha Stewart system seems meant to be! Can’t wait to see it all together! :)
Thanks so much Carrie! I hope the system is good!
Love your plan and once you get the closet storage business sorted, it will all come together:)
Thanks so much Christine! I hope so :)
Oh, you’ve made lots of progress! Keep it up, girl, it’s going to be amazing when it’s complete! And really, who doesn’t have a disaster going on while working on a project?!
I know right! Thanks so much for the encouragement Natasha!
looking awesome! your color scheme is awesome, that mirror is a great addition and I am totally intrigued by the fabric/wallpaper swatch…can’t wait to see what you do with it!
Thanks so much Tara!
I didn’t even knew Martha did closet shelving (what does Martha not do?!) – looking forward to hearing how you like it. I totally get the “worse before better” thing – think how awesome and organized you’ll be in a mere three weeks!
I mean what doesn’t Marha do, right?!?! I hope it works out :)
it totally does always do that when you are working on a space! especially when you are cleaning out and organizing. stay strong- you’ve got this!
Thanks so much Cass!
Love the full length mirror. I know K is glad you got rid of all the wire shelving too :).
I thanks LE and yes, he was happy to see it go :)
