One Room Challenge: Week 6.... the finale.

Time's up! Put your pencils down.

Thanks to Linda for hosting this party and inviting me to link up! Thanks to my fantastic clients and Andrew Lam Photography for putting up with all this craziness!!

If you missed previous weeks you can start here.

And here's where we are at the six-week mark.
Not done... but almost there:)
 

 
Hold it. Let's stop and take a look at the Before images before I carry on.
 

 
 
 
 
Okay, now here's the after.

NOW KEEP IN MIND NO NEW FURNITRE WAS PURCHASED!! It can be done people on a tight budget. We don't need to thow everything out and start over now do we???
 

 

 
 

 
 




 








 
 

 











 

 
 

 

 
 
 
Well, it's about 80% there. To quote my client "the last 10% of this remodel is taking longer than the first 90%."  So true. Remember that anytime you take on a design project--it's the little details that take the longest.
 
So, what's missing?

  6. Stephanie...this room is gorgeous. It looks so much bigger but I guess that is your editing and design skills:) The dark navy walls with the blue and white accents....along with my fav-the stripe wing is perfect. Love the styling everywhere. That light fixture is going to be great. I know they must be so thrilled with the results!

  7. This room looks so beautiful Stephanie! It takes a talented designer to pull a room together like this using and reinventing what the client already owned and using the Hale Navy with all the white trim was genius!
    Can't wait to see it completely done but unless you mentioned it we would hardly know!

  13. I need to hire you, because I always buy more things and it would be great to just use what I have. That is a major talent. I love these rooms and the photography is lovely. Great shelf styling and of course I am obsessed with all the blue and white. Looks like you have your link up to Jennifer's next Blue and White Bash.

  16. Fantastic job! Love the curtain fabric (as you know!) and the ottomans. The blue and white dishes from Crate & Barrel are fun, and I like your idea of putting the console in front of the glass sliding doors. The pop of pink is perfect. All together lovely!

  47. Ah this room is stunning!! I so love the dark/navy wall trend, though the room does have to be big like this one and get a lot of light. But this is just gorg! When I win the lotto and buy my dream home, I will hire you and you can decorate it.
