I am still not through all of the ORC links. I am determined to see each and every makeover but with over 90 linking participants and 20 official gals, it’s going to take awhile. Not that I’m complaining- I am so excited to have pages and pages of design inspiration to get me through the next few weeks! I have participated in two previous ORC- once for a client (HERE) and once in my own dining room (HERE). This year I decided, then un-decided, to skip the ORC. With only two weeks to go I started a makeover to my mudroom and although it was a crunch, I finished!
ORC fall 2014: REVEAL
Man, did y’all see some of those reveals yesterday? I was blown away by several of the afters that’s for sure. Today it is time for the 100+ linking participants to share their reveals and that includes me and my mudroom. This little room has become my closet buddy/nemesis over the last two weeks but I have to say it may be my new favorite spot in our house! It’s tiny, it’s functional, and oh-so-pretty if I do say so myself…….
ORC: the things that didn’t make the cut
Tomorrow, tomorrow I love ya tomorrow….
Tomorrow is the big reveal day for the ORC linking participants, which includes your’s truly. I insanely decided to jump in the ORC madness 4 weeks in, meaning I had two weeks to complete my mudroom refresh. I felt like choosing a small room would be super easy. Did y’all secretly laugh at me behind my back when I made that announcement? You should have. I may have put my marriage in serious danger with this ORC since I assigned Taylor a major project. I just keep smiling sweetly and offering food. Hopefully after a couple of beers this weekend all will be forgiven.
So anyway I am very happy with the way it is turning out (notice how I am still using present tense-INSANE) and I can’t wait to show you tomorrow. I ran through a lot of ideas while I was brainstorming on this room and I had to make some quick spur-of-the-moment decisions and I think we ended up with the best design for the space. Even though they didn’t make the cut, these are some ideas I tossed around that I loved but that just didn’t work for the room…
