It's week six of the One Room Challenge. That means it's reveal day! All I can say is..boy, that was quick. Sort of like pulling a tooth -painful but over before I knew it.
So my objective here was to spiff this room up. I painted and taped and sewed like nobody's business. It was a challenge, believe you me. It does feel very put together now, so it was worth all the heartache despite all my copious complaining (sorry familia).
You can see more of the details on what I did week to week here(one, two, three, four, five), but pictures speak a thousand words so let's get down to it.
My favorite part of this project was restoring the arc lamp which could quite possibly be my best street find ever. Next week I will revisit the gaffers tape painting (because I am also gaffering the closet space under my steps and it is almost done, hoo ha, and I'll give my source and technique at that time). I will also go over some of the sewing I did. I am planning on sewing a pair more of pillows for the white couch ends but I want to do that in dyed linen and I just plain ran out of time so that will be a new post as well.
It's late, I'm out! Please go check out the other ORC action here and thank you Linda for hosting this crazy One Room Challenge whoozeewhatsee. It's been great!

I love it. So warm and inviting. Those blue cushions on your old family chairs are amazing. Love your gaffers tape painting--I thought it was two, at first, one stacked over the other. You have done an amazing job. You did well tidying up the background spaces for the photos, too. My other rooms are currently hazard zones--and that's no exaggeration.
Dude. Your house is so rad. The windows, SS cabs, light! I think we both gravitate to that boho, eclectic look. I cannot believe the painting is made of tape. I love the long, low bookcase and how it anchors that side of the room. The cushions are fantastic. Well done lady. It's perfect.
It's gorgeous! Those chairs with the pink throw? A-mazing. Love the vintage map and arch lamp too!
Think you are right that lamp its just amazing...a person's trash is a other person's treasure ! so true here !
Love the feel of the room the added bright colors, your chairs cushions that you did looks really strong.And that book shelve looks really really clean to me! lol Well done again my friend:)
Everything about your house is cozy in just the right mixing kind of way. Gaffer tape artwork gets a thumbs up from chez V
I love your house! My 9 yr old just sat down next to me and said "hey, that's a really nice space." I totally agree, and love that tape painting.
Wow~ An absolutely stunning space! I love the artwork and rug. As a fellow 6 week participant the six weeks was indeed a challenge and you rose up. Well done!
Your space is gorgeous, stunning, and an inspiration! Kudos to you for your excellent work!
You had me at 'street find'. Love the room and all of the work you've done. Impressive job on the cushions for the rattan chairs. I think your style is fabulous. Well done.
