One Room Challenge Fall 2016 || WEEK TWO



Today is the beginning of the second week of the One Room Challenge (ORC) for all of the guest participants like myself. If you are new to my blog and wonder what the ORC is please click the link above and it explains this fun and crazy challenge in more detail! You can check out all of the amazing stories and inspiration of the other participants here. Ok, sooooo here is where I'm at on my list. I will run through most of the pieces I'm thinking about getting, have already ordered, etc....



First up, and one of the biggest pieces.... THE SOFA
I have already ordered it, and I am supposed to be getting a call any day now to set up delivery.
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO CALL??? I'm like a teenage girl checking my phone constantly. Well, that actually happens all of the time, but this waiting is brutal. There are some things I would like to wait on until I get the furniture, but I don't want to run out of time. WHERE IS IT??? Ok, let's 
move on.






These are ordered, but also arriving with the sofa. These will be in more of a dark warm gray, than pictured below. Why aren't they calling??? Ok, enough whining... #firstworldproblems




Ordered, but same as above... This piece will actually be in an off-white large weave linen. I love the 
lucite legs!




You've heard this story before. We selected a different fabric which I'm showing on the chair below this piece. I love the curve of this settle and am excited to see how it looks with our round table.

This has recently been ordered, but may not make it in time. I think I would be fine for the reveal without it, but really would love it if it made it in time. I think I just waited too long. I've loved this piece for a long time, but hesitated to spend the money. My sweet husband told me for my birthday that I could get it. I kept looking around thinking maybe I would find something a little cheaper, but nothing. Long story short, I should have just ordered this to begin with, because nothing compared and now it may not come in time. Ugh :(



I'm still deciding on this one... EEK.... I know there's not much time left. Why is it so hard to get rug samples??? There are so many great rugs, but I don't want to spend that much sight unseen. Especially when I need at least a 9 x 12 size, which is not easy to return. I finally ordered the smallest size of two that I was interested in and will send them back to buy the bigger size once I decide. This is frustrating, but I'm not sure what else to do. Ok, on to the actual rugs. My husband and I both wanted something simple and a little more modern looking in here, so we chose to go with more solid rug choices with a little texture or slight striation. Here are the contenders so far...




My favorite before seeing them, and it's the pricier one! Of course! ( I hear my husband's voice saying those words)



I do love the texture on this one and hope it is just as pretty as the picture!




FIDDLE LEAF FIG

This baby has been ordered. I have wanted one of these for a long time, and am really hoping I can keep it alive. I ordered from a local nursery and I think it's coming from somewhere down south. There aren't too many to be found here in the Midwest. I'm always jealous of the people who went to their Home Depot and found one for $39. After looking for many weeks, I realized that was just not happening here. Anyway, I still need to get basket, or container to put this beauty in.






ACCENT PIECES

I've been doing a lot of research, but have not narrowed it down yet. Here are some of my top picks. It would be so nice to order all of them and just return the ones I didn't want to use, but that's not happening, so I better make some quick decisions! Any favorites?




I still have lots to do as far as accessorizing, but I don't even want to think about that right now. I think a trip to HomeGoods will be happening soon!

  1. Kristine - this is going to be one amazing room! I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything you've picked out especially those brass based chairs! I did find a fiddle leaf fig a few years ago at HD but I've got to hit up the nursery to order another! (I have successfully kept # alive thoug). #1 is in a basket just like that that I picked up at World Market. Hope they still carry them for you!

    1. Thank you so much Tricia! Your comments totally made my day! You were one of the lucky ones to find a fiddle leaf at HD! I hope I can keep mine alive too. That's great to know they have the baskets at World Market. Thanks for the tip! I saw some at PB, but will now check WM.
