What’s that saying? Something like it gets worse before it gets better?? Well, I hope that is true!
Welcome to Week 3 of the Spring 2021 One Room Challenge in Partnership with Better Homes & Garden! You can catch up on weeks 1 & 2 if you want to see what has been going on so far in this kids’ playroom makeover. If you have been following along, you know that we now have a color inspiration, and a first draft of a design concept. But thing are starting to move along on this One Room Challenge. Here is what has happened over the last week. Below is the design concept that I came up with last week.
So this week has gone better than last week for sure. I ordered some items that actually arrived. That in and of itself is a huge accomplishment given the fact that lead times for everything are so long.
We have been making progress on getting the room cleaned and cleared. I finally rolled up the rug, removed all of the throw pillows that we were not going to use and got rid of the old dresser that was holding papers and craft trash for the last 8 years. I finished just before I had to pick up my kids from school. And then from there, I took my oldest to PT and a basketball open gym. When I got home, I saw that my “clean” playroom had become a cushion fort disaster. Such is the life of a mom with kids, right!?
Here is the checklist that I made at the beginning of this challenge and I love to cross things off as they get done.
Here is what I have found for inspiration this week for my accent wall. I found a lot of photos for wall moldings and wallpaper above it in bathrooms and other spaces, but not as many for playrooms or even living spaces. So even though I’m doing a playroom, these rooms are still inspirational.
This is actually one of the bedrooms in one of our Scottsdale vacation rentals. I hated putting up this wallpaper, but I loved the finished result.
I thought that I wanted vertical shiplap, but then I saw this and realized I might want board and batten instead. It’s a really pretty look, but I have board and batten in other rooms in my home an I don’t have any vertical shiplap, so now I’m torn.
And now I am back to vertical shiplap…Hopefully I will make a decision at some point and get it done. Because by this time I have pretty much convinced myself to do it.
Since my first draft of the design concept, I have been adding in additional layers and changing some things when I realize they may not work as I thought. Case in point, I switched out the dark gray desks chairs for a light gray option since my sofa is already dark gray. I feel like this board will continue to evolve, but the things are permanent are the rug, media console, desks, ottoman, desk chair and the blue patterned pillow and dark taupe pillow. Those are all things that I have already purchased for the room. I need to narrow down the wall paper and art options though for sure.
Next week, I look forward to sharing with some actual room progress!
In the meantime, make sure you check out the featured designers and other fellow guest designers. There are some really great projects going on! I am so thankful to be a part of this and I can’t wait to take you along on this room makeover over the next few weeks!
