How to Host the Perfect Gathering
It’s Week 2 of the Spring 2021 One Room Challenge in Partnership with Better Homes & Garden! If you missed last week’s post, let me fill you in or you can catch up here. I am working on transitioning my kids’ playroom into more of a TV/homework space. Last week I revealed the color inspiration board, which will be my jumping off point for this space. Let me tell you though how this week is going for the One Room Challenge.
Not good. You guys, I’m not sure what is going on, but I am not super motivated to get this done. I know that I want to do it and I know that I have a deadline. However, I am really struggling with the mental energy right now. I feel like I have a lot going on with designing for some of the flips and vacation rentals we have going on, as well as the fact that my home staging retreat starts this Sunday and that is taking a lot of my time to make sure we are all ready to go for that as well. That being said…I have made some progress. The room is slowly getting cleared out. More and more of my kids’ toys are being thrown away or donated and they haven’t even noticed. Which means that they have too much stuff and that they aren’t really playing with it. Yesterday, Emery, who is my youngest and is 7, asked when we were going to start getting rid of the toys in here. I told her most of them had already been thrown away or donated and she was so shocked and looked concerned that something she loves is gone. But she couldn’t even tell, which means that I know we are on the right track.
What is not on the right track is the lead times for furniture… Oh my gosh, you guys. it’s insane. I am on the lookout for a new media console and some desks and everything is 10-15 weeks out. I guess I really should have been preparing for this challenge for much longer. But I didn’t and that is where we are at with that.
Here is the checklist that I made last week that I am working off of. Let’s see how we did this week…
There are a few rooms that have been inspiring me for where I want to go with the feel and layout. I don’t have the space to do this built in, but I love the sconces and the desk chairs and the storage that this provides.
I have this really cool black and white map years ago from McGee & Co and I had dreams to mark all of the places that the kids have traveled to. I still might do that and I love the fun wallpaper paired with the map.
Again, this room has so much more space than we have for built ins…or does it? I don’t know who would be able to do this for me? But I want the media console and 2 desks flanking it to feel semi built in at least.
This is my first attempt at what this room could be. I’m really loving where this is going, but I feel like it could use some tweeks, so stay tuned to see what this room ends up becoming.
