It’s week 5 of the One Room Challenge! How are we down to 1 week until the final reveal?  Time is flying.

Week 4: Trim, Paint & Decor Changes

PROGRESS

We’re definitely going to be pulling some many late nights between now and next week to get this project finished on time, but we’re so excited to start to see progress in here.  It’s hard to believe this is what our living and dining rooms used to look like.  The before & afters are going to be gooooood.

We installed more Metrie panel molding in the living room, which we lined up with the window height.  We love using panel molding in our projects because it never fails to elevate the space (and it’s affordable!).

We also caulked & painted {most of} the fireplace stone.  It took awhile because of all of the little cracks and uneven pieces.  We explained in our previous posts that we would have rather just removed the stone altogether & had a clean surface, but we didn’t think we’d have time to re-drywall the whole thing after breaking the plaster beneath it.  So, we left it & are rolling with it.

DELIVERIES

Other fun updates this week: deliveries!

That huge bottom box is part of a super comfy sofa from Lamps Plus, which comes in 3 separate modular pieces.  (sidenote: did you know they also sell furniture in addition to lighting? We didn’t!)  This sofa is large — each piece is about 44×44, so our plan is to join the two ends together, and then use the armless piece to make an L.  This sofa resembles Restoration Hardware’s Cloud sofa, but costs a fraction of the price.  We’ll report back to you once we have it all unpacked and get a chance to use it!!

Also in those boxes are our blue velvet accent chairs from Homepop and our new Legrand outlets and switches from Bellacor.  The outlets pop up, which is going to create a really clean look.

Our rug from Esalerugs also arrived.  It looks exactly like it did in the photos!

WHAT’S LEFT?

It was a good week, but there is still so. much. left. to do.  Here’s our current list:

• Install Farrow & Ball wallpaper
• Caulk all of our Metrie trim
• Make & install our DIY hidden door
• Have electricians install our lights & switches from Bellacor 
• Order dining table & chairs
• Install our Tecwood floors from Mohawk (they’re scheduled to arrive today – fingers crossed!)
• Install our Jeffrey Court tile on the fireplace hearth
• Furnish, style, photograph!

It’s going to be a busy week, folks.  We’ll see you back here next week for the big reveal! In the meantime, follow us on Instagram (we post sneak peaks!) and be sure to check out the other bloggers’ progress here:
