One Room Challenge Fall 2015: Week 4
One step forward and two steps back is this weeks ORC theme, sadly.
See my ORC WEEK 1, WEEK 2, and WEEK 3 if you are just tuning in.
The only real progress is the AMAZING KARASTAN EXOTICS carpet as installed and it ROCKS! I use this series in leopard and antelope constantly as it is the most durable and camouflaging carpet I have ever seen while still being uber chic.
My beautiful custom curtains from Tonic Living arrived in pristine condition as did my pillows. The malachite fabric is more beautiful than you can imagine and the workmanship of Tonic Living is immaculately sewn and tailored at each pleat. They are being hung on Friday. I cannot wait to share them.
Now, I really messed up! Neither sideboard I chose was available and I am on a mad hunt for a 80+” wide storage piece. I am afraid to hang the gallery wall without this piece.
Suggestions in stock?
HELP!
I have my photographer scheduled in about 10 days. Lots left to happen!!!!!
Find and install the sideboard piece
Curtain install scheduled Nov 30th
Hang Gallery Wall and other art
Install Wallpaper in Bookshelves Nov 6th
Style Bookshelves and Room
Sofa to be Delivered with Pillows on Nov 6th
Here is the room plan with the updated elements.
Carpet – Karastan Exotics Aberdale Antelope
Sofa Fabric – Duralee velvet with Teflon
Sofa Back- Purple Vinyl by Kravet
Art Prints from Minted – Kristi Kohut
Wall Paint – All White by Farrow & Ball

I do want to not the sheen of the FULL GLOSS by Farrow & Ball to go unnoticed. It has the most unreal lacquer finish I have ever experienced straight out of the can.
NOTE: this is dry paint.

I’m sure it will all come together in the end. I love your carpet choice and the high gloss paint…incredible. You are going to have such a great eclectic mix.

I’m a little scared but I know you will pull it out! I saw a few sideboards today at Sleepy Poet!

I am dying over the high gloss of your paint. This is looking amazing. Good sideboard thoughts coming your way.

I love how it’s coming together! I adore the antelope – I had it cut and bound as a rug in my dining room. It is fantastic!!!

This is going to be amazing! I saw a number of available long sideboards at Greenfront last week….Building 10!
You are my inspiration!
