Well, it’s finally here!!!!  The final reveal for the One Room Challenge.  This room has been a labor of love!  I have worked extremely hard on this makeover! Therefore, I also couldn’t be happier and proud of how this room has come along!  Risks were taken and I had to step out of my comfort zone at times!  It made me think outside of the box!  This was my 5th One Room Challenge and I feel like I’m getting more and more a hang of this room makeover thing! 🙂  If this is your first time here, welcome!  If not, it’s nice to “see” you again!  Catch up with this Fall’s living room makeover:

Week 1   |  Week 2 |  Week 3  |  Week 4  |  Week 5  |  Week 6

Also here are the One Room Challenges that I have participated in the past:

Gabi’s Nursery  |  Lucy’s Big Girl Room  |  Bathroom  |  Guest Room

Before Photos

Now, let’s look back at how the room looked when we started!  Here is a pic of the house when we bought it:Monochromatic living room with leather couches and tan wallsMonochromatic living room with leather couches and tan walls

Shortly after we moved in we painted the walls, bought a new couch and bought some furniture second hand.  It was a nice little temporary fix for this room but I always envisioned something bigger!Living Room Before Photo Tan Couch DIY Ottoman and Floral Art

As always I’d like to thank our sponsors for this room makeover.  Without them, this room would not have been possible!  I feel so fortunate to work with such amazing companies!

Here is a little before and after of the room from the beginning!  Touch the area and move it side to side to see the before and after!

 

I feel truly grateful to be able to blog and share all of my projects with everyone.  Working from home while creating our home and living with my beautiful is a blessing!  Life is good!  Thanksgiving is next week so I may be a little MIA as I will be spending time with family!  Have an amazing Thanksgiving and hold onto those loved ones tightly!
