I am thrilled to announce that I’ll be participating in Calling It Home’s One Room Challenge!  The ORC is an online, bi-annual event that brings together 20 bloggers (full list below) who have a love of design and challenges them to transform a room from start to finish and document the process.  The catch?  We only have six weeks to fully complete our room transformation.  And with that tight time line I think it’s best we begin.  The room I’ve chosen to design is, my office!

I’m sure that decision comes as a surprise to many of you who follow along on a regular basis as my office in theory is complete.  It’s actually the first room I completely finished when we bought our home and I adored it.  But now that the shine has worn off I see quite a few flaws the biggest being that it’s not functional for my growing business.  The second, it’s too harsh, a tad garish.  The plan; soften up the space with more neutrals, whites, and a few pops of color plus switch out all the furniture so that my team will actually have places to sit and work.  

So with that I bid farewell to the original WOM offices and hello to a new and improved vision.  Oh, and before you all ask…yes the wallpaper is staying!  Truly, MKR

P.S.  If you’re in the Atlanta area I’m selling my black desk and bookshelves, email waitingonmartha@gmail.com for more info!
