One Room Challenge Fall 2015: Week 4

One step forward and two steps back is this weeks ORC theme, sadly. 

PastedGraphic-11-2

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.

The cool Crystorama Light Fixture is going to be a beauty but the canopy was not as large as anticipated because I did not measure. I then had the can switched to a hanging fixture and left a big hole in the dang ceiling that has to be patched, re-sheetrocked and repainted in order to hang the fixture,  UGH!

I did pick up a few great elements for the room.  
I picked up one of these carved skulls from High Point Market. Is going to be a fab addition to the gallery wall.

I also ordered this Mark & Graham Game Set for our upcoming family game nights in our newly revamped playroom.

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

    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.

    Just thinking about this room coming together makes me smile! That carpet is so so good…..kind of wish I had ordered it:)

    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!
