The One Room Challenge over at Calling it Home is starting up again, and it’s always so much fun to watch. (The ORC is a blogging challenge given to 20 designers to totally makeover a space in their homes in 6 weeks). Although, true to my fast-forward-to-the-good-part nature, I am most excited to tune in for the final week: the big reveals!
So let’s take a little trip back in time to one of my favorite makeovers from the last challenge. This comes from Naomi at Design Manifest, who made over an awkward upstairs space into a sophisticated lounge. I don’t have a lounge, but I’m thinking I should definitely get one.
Now, with the addition of the planked wall/ceiling and the wallpaper at the far end, all the awkward angles work in this room’s favor. So dynamic!
“Come Lindsey,” it seems to beckon, “Lounge with me.”
I do believe I will.
And check out this chair redo that was also part of the room. Would you believe Naomi actually burnt those chairs on purpose to achieve that color of wood? (Please don’t try this at home!)
PS: Don’t forget to enter the Slipcovers with Shelley Giveaway going on now!
