One Room Challenge: Week Four

Filed Under > Ideas & Inspiration

Hanging rattan chair

Last week, you saw One Room Challenge progress in the form of my loft bar. This week, I’ve got nothing.  Between all of my recent travel, wrapping up a few major design client’s projects, and prepping for WOM The Brick & Mortar and our new office at ADAC, I haven’t even had a moment to hang a picture or style a coffee table.  And while I may not have any progress pictures to share, I have made a few behind-the-scene strides.  I dropped the sofa at the upholsterer to get reupholstered in a hand-painted loop brushstroke fabric from Steve McKenzies and I pulled the trigger on all of the lighting (here, here and here), plus I snagged a rug.  But since decisions were made late, and I haven’t received shipping notifications yet, I’ll be racing against the clock to finish this project on time (shocker).  But if there’s anyone who likes a race, it’s me, so I say, fire up the music and let’s go.  I only have an entire gallery wall to hang, lighting to install, a rug to lay down, furniture to arrange, a coffee table to style, and quaint-cozy-hanging-chair-reading nook to create.  Easy-breezy.  What personal design dilemmas have you run into lately?  Truly, MKR

Week three of the One Room Challenge had me focusing on the upstairs bar, obviously. While impossible to say that the bar has just one show-stopper, it’s hard to argue that the beauty and grandiosity of the Paul Marrot Feathers doesn’t steal the show. Mounted on linen and framed in thick lucite, Feathers is sure to spark a conversation or two over cocktails.

Then there’s the natural agate lamp from Times Two Design. This stunner adds just the right amount of femininity while it’s also the perfect size. Since the room already had lots of color aspects (not all pictured here), I chose the white agate, but the turquoise and emerald agate are jaw-dropping as well.

And of course, how could I forget about the grey python table from Society Social, a constant go-to of mine. The python creates great interest and adds texture to the room, while its stone coloring is the perfect neutral. I’ve put the table in my home, my parent’s home, and I’m currently adding two of the tables to a client’s home. We’re halfway through the One Room Challenge and I’m loving how the loft is coming together thus far.  What is your favorite element?  TRULY, MKR

Thursday I had the chance to take Chairish to one of my favorite Atlanta spots for hunting, wheeling and dealing, Scott Antique Market.  Our goal; to find 25 unique, and highly coveted items for a Chairish Live Instagram Sale happening tomorrow Sunday, April 12th.  

If you’ve been following Chairish on Instagram you may have seen the last live sale they did with the crazy cool Jen Gotch.  Every item sold, and sold within seconds.  You can find further details on their blog, but the sale goes a little something like this: sign up with Pay With Penny, when an item goes up on Instagram be the first to comment #SOLD, and boom the item is yours.  It’s that easy.

What exactly will be for sale?  Well you’ll have to follow along to know for sure,  but these snaps should give you a good sneak peek.  Hint, hint lots of brass, lots of barware, lots of beads, lots of textiles, and a few oddities I couldn’t pass up.  So set those alarms for 12:00 pm EST and get ready to type #SOLD as fast as you can!  Truly, MKR
