If you read design blogs there’s a good chance you have already heard about Linda’s One Room Challenge. If not, let me fill you in…
Linda from Calling It Home started this challenge about 2 years ago and the purpose was to gather a group of bloggers and challenge them to complete a room in 6 weeks. There are no real rules other than you have to complete the room, in your house or someone else’s, in 6 weeks. I have followed along each year and anxiously awaited all the fabulous reveals. I always get butterflies for the bloggers participating because 6 weeks is not a lot of time especially when it comes to decorating!
Over time this little series has grown and gained so many followers that Linda decided to open it up to all bloggers. Now, along with the official ORC ladies, anyone can link up and share their progress and eventual reveal. And that everyone includes me! I decided to take on a project for this 6 weeks! Nervous does not even begin to cover how I feel but I am also so excited for the pressure…the quick decisions…the quick results! Truth is, I think I would prefer every project to have a strict deadline…we all live for the “afters”!
So here is my space, courtesy of a new and awesome client:
October 10th – What did you accomplish or learn?
October 17th – Any great shopping tips or diy’s you want to share?
October 24th – Did you need to make any changes to your plan? How’s it going?
October 31st – Are you still with us? Are you happy/sad about any of your choices?

Beth, thank you so much for the lovely press. I am so happy you are jumping in. That room is fantastic. Those ceilings and walls, it's already chic. OK, when did you do the change on your header? I love it…and the picture of you, perfect. You are one busy mama!

From one busy mama to another! My goal this summer was to redesign my blog and make it all match "me" a little more. I had major help with Darci of Chic Living…she is awesome! I will be dreaming of the ORC challenge tonight 🙂
