It’s reveal day! It’s REVEAL day! What can I say about this project aside from the fact that I am so glad it is done. All of the stress has melted away and I can enjoy this beautiful space with my husband and kids while we snuggle down and watch Paw Patrol or The Sopranos (for the 10th time) when the kiddos are in bed of course.
If you remember, I decided to jump in to the ORC because I was having major FOMO combined with the fact that our bedroom err me, needed a good kick in the pants to get completed. I am so happy that I jumped in last minute because now it’s done. While there are some tweaks I am going to make over the next few months, they are minor and will be documented on Instagram.
Before I get into it I would like to thank Linda from Calling It Home for this wonderful and supportive event.
Thank you to Better Homes and Gardens for the media sponsorship.
Thank you to my Rep. from Schumacher, Sandra for helping get the fabric I needed and so quickly. This company is a rare gem with their customer service and absolutely amazing products.
To Elisa, The Drapery Lady Studio, thank you thank you for working with my crazy deadline when no one else would!
Thank you Tim from Creepwalk Media for the wonderful photos that bring the space to life!
And…I couldn’t have done this without my husband Craig, who despite telling me he wouldn’t help because he hates the hustle and bustle of the ORC – I roped him in and he reluctantly but with a smile on his face helped create a gorgeous space with his handiwork.
Ok I’ll stop… this isn’t the Oscars. (But seriously I know I missed people but I truly appreciate everyone’s help.)

Ok not the same exact angle but you get the idea of the power of paint!
Now that we have the shocking before and afters out of the way let me take you around the room.
I love this angle because you see the prettiness happening just beyond the bedroom into the hallway. The Les Touches fabric drapes play so well with the Pyne Hollyhock. Match made in fabric heaven.
I am so glad I didn’t give up trying to find this rug! *Thanks Winnie. It allowed me not to have to change the headboard.
Shall we take a look at the details? After all, they really are what make the space come together-wouldn’t you agree?
Beside the bed
Night stand was a FB Marketplace find and just too pretty for words.
Sconces I have had for over two years. Projects take a long time to execute. Thank goodness for the ORC and its deadline.
PS: that’s not a beloved family dog. I just loved the frame and the photo when I picked it up at an antique shop.
Shopped my own house for this beauty. Another hit of pattern and all is well in my heart.
Our view from the bed
The vintage wicker pedestal I picked up at a recent tag sale.
This was a desk that I DIY’d a few years back and never completed. Well, I got the idea of adding the scallop trim to the unfinished drawer and it looks cuuute!
Again, when you are over budget, you shop your house. Follow me for more Pro-tips.
Window Nook
From being an underutilized space to throw clothes to a sweet spot for the kids to curl up with a book (or their Switch). Check out the scallop trim detail. I just had to add it somewhere else!
My precious pillow from Stuck on Hue. Feels a little like Marie Antoinette’s boudoir.
Who doesn’t love a good contrast fabric ruffle!?
Artwork
First let’s talk about this lady! She’s thought provoking and stunning. And with the three little birds- to me representing my three kiddos, it was a perfect choice for this space. Oh hey look! The ribbon trim is still holding on.

The next two are just such wonderful petite abstracts. I loved the colors and the hits of red. They seem to be made to hang in the window.
Artwork: Alexis Walter
You didn’t think I could resist doing a little DIY artwork. As you may recall from my previous post, these little lovelies are from a book I own and the frames were hand-painted by myself. Pretty. Cheap. Pretty cheap. 😉

And Marie Antoinette and her children. I’ve had this portrait in two of our homes. It goes from room to room and I love her.

Last but not least is this wonderful portrait of a Gentleman. I found this artist through Instagram just as the ORC was underway and it was fate. He belongs in this little nook.

Fine details
Tim my photographer captured some beautiful shots of the details of the space. I love his eye!
Settee was another FB Marketplace find. It was a crazy adventure and one my husband and I will not soon forget. Maybe I’ll share why.
