ONE ROOM CHALLENGE: WEEK ONE

Well, even though I vowed never to do this again…I’m doing it again! What am I talking about? The One Room Challenge and it starts up today. If you’re not familiar with this, in a nutshell, the ORC was started a few years ago by Linda from Calling It Home. This six week challenge consists of twenty design bloggers who will attempt to do re-do a room in six weeks.
 
Last year I crazily agreed to participate in this while moving, literally. The room that I chose was the kitchen… #nbd. . The added stress of the whole experience almost broke me, but I did end up (eventually, not exactly within the 6 weeks) with an awesome kitchen. Fast forward to this year, I’ve learned a few things. First – not moving. Second – small, small room (aka K.I.S.S. keep it simple Sue)
 
So, the room that I’m hoping to transform in six weeks is our guest bathroom. Above is my inspiration. In a full circle moment, this beauty of a bath is the product of an ORC past. If you followDesign Crisis than you’re already familiar with the amazing job Erin did with this space…and if you don’t follow her, your‘e missing out.

Fifteen Beautiful Blue and White Home Decor Accents

Apparently, I’m not just obsessed with blue and white porcelain  – these days I can’t get enough of blue and white home decor in general! Here’s a round up of a few of my faves:

!function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? ‘http’ : ‘https’;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + ‘://’ + ‘widgets.rewardstyle.com’ + ‘/js/lookbook.js’;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof(window.__lookbook) === ‘object’) if(d.readyState === ‘complete’) {window.__lookbook.init();}}(document, ‘script’, ‘lookbook-script’);

Summer Reading

I packed a copy of My Paris Dream on our trip to Florida last week and it was the perfect plane to beach read.
 
Now I’m missing the escapism that a good book provides-even more so “post vacation.”.
 
Like many of you, I’m able to devote more time to a good book in the summer months when life slows down a lot around here. 
 
Next up I’ll be reading Secrets Of A Charmed Life, as it came highly recommended by a few friends of mine….what’s on your summer reading list?
 

I’d love to know!PS: A few more great reads here.
