Stop. Breathe. Only one more week to go! My heart is starting to beat so quickly!! Entering the One Room Challenge has been one of the most stressful yet rewarding experiences I’ve encountered as a designer, and I am SOOOOOOO going to do it again! Thanks for the deadline… it is the ultimate motivation to get this project DONE!

Right now, I’m sitting at The Southern C Summit, and enjoying every moment. But, here’s a quick pause to show you where I am with my guest bedroom. (You can catch up on Weeks 1-4 here.) Does anyone else rely on a trusty to-do list??

1. Headboard
2. Nightstand
3. Rug
4. Dresser
5. Curtains
6. Bedding
7. Seating
8. Pillows
9. Accessories
10. Art
11. Lighting (lamp and overhead)
12. Paint or Wallpaper

Almost done!! Frankly, I don’t usually decorate this quickly. I really like to try different items out to find the perfect addition to a room, and I’m not afraid to make a store return or exchange! I think they know me by name at Home Goods, GDC, Celadon and Target
. 😉

But, I’m honestly really happy with the way this room is turning out. My goal of keeping it simple with a black/white canvas and pops of color has really come to fruition.

I’m keeping these pics dark on purpose because I don’t want to show the details until next week! EEEK!

If you are looking for me this next week, you’ll know where to find me! At all of the local Mt Pleasant home stores finding items to finish up this room!! It’s going to be gooooood, folks! Check back next week for the big reveal!
