One Room Challenge | SP 2021 | Wk 4

What?! Its Week 4 of the One Room Challenge already?

On a good note, FINALLY there’s some movement.

There’s been A LOT of garden clearing happening to prepare for the landscapers, who are arriving tomorrow. 

And my outdoor fabric from My Fabrics (to make new covers for to this thrifted and upcycled seating situation from Gumtree ) is on its way from Germany. Just feast your eyes on the pattern and color joy, will you! It even has the illusion of texture to add some more depth to it.

Although, due to Brexit, we now have new shipping rules to contend with. I had to order my 10 meters of fabric in two parts (WTH?!) because of the exorbitant shipping costs to EU vendors, which translates to higher shipping costs for UK residents. Thanks Brexit!

One Room Challenge | SP 2021 | Wk 1

Backyard Boujie

Well, here we are again…

I’m joining the One Room Challenge again this spring, because, let’s face it…

My backyard does NOT look like this anymore and a I need a good swift kick in the pants to revamp this before July.

So, let’s get started, shall we?!

 

But first… What is THE ONE ROOM CHALLENGE, you ask?

Currently in its 18th season, the ORC is only THE BEST place for interiors-related inspiration, ideas, and encouragement! As a widely anticipated biannual event–every April and October–each round, 20 design influencers are selected as Featured Designers to transform a space.

Also, anyone with a blog or Instagram account can join the challenge as a Guest Participant (me) by linking their own room transformations up during the 6 weeks. Since 2020, because of The Rona, it’s actually 8 weeks, which should give me plenty of time, right? Uhhhh, sure, yeah, let’s go with that. Each Thursday, we report back to the powers that be, flooding the internet and social media with the latest and greatest news, updates, and trials and tribulations of our room transformations.

So, thank you to Linda Weinstein, the creator/owner of the ORC who started all of this fabulousness, and BETTER HOMES & GARDENS, ORC’s official media partner, for the support and holding us accountable!
