One Room Challenge: Week 3 | Decor

Pearl St.

It’s week 3 of the ORC (it rhymes!)  And guess what… we have no new pictures of our space to show you.  But, we have made some progress with decor plans for both the living room and dining room.  There are so many fantastic sponsors and we want to choose everything, but the tight timeline has forced us to make some decisions.

In the living room, we’re going to be choosing some colorful art from Minted and Chairish, a bold vintage rug from eSale Rugs, a mix of neutral and colorful furniture, brass accents, and plants.  We’re planning on painting the trim dark (at least the windows) and the walls a light neutral.

For the dining room, we’re going to continue the bold, black & white theme.  We’re still debating what wallpaper to do!

We’re excited to get our final selections nailed down & see it all come together. More next week!

Seasonal

After growing up in NJ and living in NYC for 8 years, I was open to a change. The glamour of climbing the corporate ladder was wearing off, and we knew that renting an expensive small apartment and dealing with crowded subways everyday was not going to work forever. 

After Bryan & I got married, we took a trip back to Columbus, OH (Bryan's hometown) in what turned out to be his secret mission to convince me that we should move back.  We drove through the growing downtown neighborhoods, looked at boarded up houses with endless potential, and felt the difference of a slower pace of life.  There was something about the energy of the city and the possibility of building something of our own that drew me in.  I was in!

I'm Catherine, and I'm the founder of Beginning in the Middle.
