One Room Challenge Spring 2020 - Week 3
I’m so excited to be included in my tenth season of One Room Challenge (ORC)! If you are new to ORC, this “competition” is merely against yourself to transform a room in your home at top speed. Everyone ends up a winner, and if you’re participating this season, I wish you the best of luck in working towards your reveal!
As a refresher, this season I’m designing our dining room for my ORC, you can catch up on all the reasons why in week’s 1 post.
With the devastating climate of our country, I’ve been inconsistent in my postings, it feels so trivial, but I’m doing my best to get back into the swing of things.
This week, I’m excited to reveal the stunning Hudson Valley light fixture that will be incremental in transforming the space, and the other new items I’m layering in to round out the design, and bring it to life.
Serenity Light Fixture
Could there be a more elegant and romantic light fixture? The stunning stone pieces will add an air of delicacy to this otherwise heavy space. I love mixing metals, and that this fixture harmoniously blends gold leaf and polished stainless steel, is a beautiful relief to the outdated stance that a space should reflect one metal finish.
Some insights I took away from Eddie Ross’s gorgeous tablescapes are: reinforcement of color, varying item heights, and adding a bit of fun for personality. As the palette is emerald to aqua, and pinks to reds, I wanted to vary the decor to create a rich layer of colors. Since the artwork is predominately fuchsia, I wanted to only add subtle hints of pink to prevent the room from looking overly feminine. I love that the water glasses walk a fine line between gray and pink, and the dinner napkins add another layer of soft blush. The simple white taper candles will add some nice height to the mix, and the star hurricanes will hold some ethereal arrangements to play up the romance.
I’m playing up the aqua to green spectrum with some of Frontgate’s gorgeous ceramics. Three of these vases will add some aqua to the table, and the planters will add touch of emerald (and gorgeous pattern).
As pieces are coming in, I’m very excited with how it’s looking, but two integral items to the design will be arriving just before the photoshoot, so I have some harried days ahead! Join me next week for what the final items are, and (hopefully) some sneak peeks of my progress!
