One Room Challenge: Week 6 THE BIG REVEAL
Since this One Room Challenge started I have traveled every single week. I truly put the challenge in challenge this go around. I have been on Blogtour Milan with Modenus to Milan and Venice. We headed to Linville, NC. For Easter, I went to Dallas for the Rewardstyle Conference. I turned around and headed to Charleston for a fun 4 days with The Southern C Summit. Today, I am en route to Los Angeles for Legends of LA Cienega and Design Trust meetings. I am beyond grateful for all these fabulous opportunities but I have hit a wall. I am ready for a little R & R soon. I could crawl up in Bo’s bed and sleep for days on end.
Anyway, Bo LOVES his room and has parted with his bunks well. Unfortunately he got a nose bleed in the night before I photographed. Yep, all over the Euro sham….that is hidden under the Rolling Stones pillow. It is always something. On another fun note I realized last Friday I forgot to get a dust ruffle. I ordered this polyester beauty overnight on Amazon, It does the trick. Who knows I may keep it considering the fab Jill Sorenson Bang Bang Bedding was trashed in a few days.
On to the photography shenanigans. I am not sure what I am doing wrong but interior photography is HARD, really HARD. I have a nice camera but everything is grainy and yuck. I switched back to my trusty iphone after many failed attempts. I did not allow enough time to hire a photographer, AGAIN. Will I ever learn? I hope I get the challenge again to prove I can plan ahead.
Cons of the project:
Forgot the Dustruffle
Never Hired a Photographer
Never ordered the desk glass for an under glass scrapbook / collage
Pros of the project:
Bo loves it and I got to meet and watch so many other talents transform their species.

I love this room. My son does not care what I do to his room, ever…so this would be so fun to create. Love all of the vintage mixed with the edgy and modern. Great job, and I don’t know how you travel as much as you do. Crazy.

Love it Holly!!! Die for the wallpaper on ceiling. And actually, I like the white desk you still have instead of a glass one. And I think the pictures turned out great too – saved yourself some moola right there sister. Anyway, you are fabulous and an inspiration.
tobe | because it's awesome
this is even better than i imagined! the ceiling!! you nailed it with the mix of patterns and tight color palette. the campaign desk is delicious against the blue grasscloth, and i probably don’t need to tell you that the rattan pieces make my heart skip a little 🙂
lucky kid!
mrs. V - Chez V
This room is fit for a rockstar! The grasscloth paired with the ceiling paper is crazy good and all of your layered elements are fantastic. I especially love the desk/rattan bookshelf/art corner. Yes ma’am!!!!!
Jennifer@thepinkpagoda
Try hydrogine peroxide on the sham. It should come right out. This room is incredible and I’m sure your son is sooooo happy!! I love every single bit of it and want to know how it’s possible to design long distance?!
Bettsi
I love this room! You did an amazing job! I really enjoyed following along with you (wish I could have traveled with you too- so cool) and I think your son is very fortunate to have such a talented mom.
Abby M. Interiors
As a mom of boys, I appreciate/love this room with my whole heart! I fully believe that we shouldn’t design down to our kids, and this room is the PERFECT example. What a lucky guy. The art– that incredible headboard– the wallpaper on the ceiling– I’m in love with it all. Congrats on a great space. xx
kate@willowinteriors
Unbelievable! This room is so cool! I better not show it to my son (especially since i did my daughter’s room for the ORC). I love all of the touches that any boy would love, the rock and roll references, the jaws poster and I also love all your vibrant color choices! Well done!
