ONE ROOM CHALLENGE FINAL REVEAL FALL 2016

I know y'all have a lot to get to today with 20 reveals so I am going to keep it fairly short with details coming later!  

I'm gonna try anyway:)

First of all....thanks to Linda from Calling It Home for including me.  I have been lucky to participate in almost all of the One Room Challenges and I am so grateful for her trust in my ability to put out a good room!  Sniff sniff.....emotional.

20 incredibly talented designers have worked tirelessly for your pleasure so hat's off to everyone.  And a serious shout out to my clients for your patience:)

As you know my bedroom, along with my whole house is white [including my floors!] but for some reason I got a wild hair and went dark.

And that is why they call me "crazy Sherika".....I will keep you guessing!

Before!

After.....Benjamin Moore Iron Mountain

As you know my Bernhardt bedside dresser didn't make it

 BUT...... I painted this bad boy up and she is representing....ha ha.

The first thing I picked was the Karastan Rug so that set the tone for the room.  

And I love the legs on the Lamps Plus benches!

The Annie Selke bedding is one of my fav elements of the room and adds an abundance of texture!

Cami said it's so comfy!

Here are my bird prints that I got from Scott's all framed up!

Before....

The Lee Industries chair that got recovered and my Schumacher pillow takes center stage!

The Stanley dresser that I purchased through Red Pen Procurement is gorgeous!

Before

This was where the armoire held my TV.....one of the good things about dark walls is the TV recedes!  Remember I showed you that one of the drawers drops down to hold the cable box.

  
After

I was afraid that the Arteriors floor Lamp from ATG stores was too big but I am getting used to it!  

Before....

After...

You can also see how nicely the Metrie trim looks to frame out the ceiling!

I actually purchased this light from Mitchell Gold before my photo shoot for Atlanta Magazine and it's perfect!

Before....

After

The new Metrie backband trim frames out my pocket doors!

This gallery wall in between the closet and bath room was a last minute decision.  I actually thought the 4 birds would be here but after receiving the Minted Art [top 2 prints and the one on the floor]  it needed height and impact!

The AGT Stores Jamie Young lamp is perfect on this console that my friend Phil Kazmark made for me when the one I wanted was backordered! 

Before....

The Thibaut textured wallpaper helped to warm up the bathroom and take the focus away from my travertine tile:)  I painted the trim and ceiling with the Williamsburg paint to get a cohesive  look!

The Bellacor lights give me twice the light I used to have!

Love the new Kohler Purist faucets!

The rug from AllModern

These great towels above and below from AllModern

And there you have it.  These pictures were taken by my good friend Tina Rowden and I am so appreciative:)

I will share my crappy pictures this weekend!  All the details and more shots! 

Please take a moment to visit all the reveals today.....it will take your mind off the election results:)

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE FALL 2016 WEEK FOUR

Jumping right in to week 4..... because as I have learned in life..... time keeps marching on and there is nothing you can do to slow it down.

One Week Challenge |verb| associated with stress, craziness, decisions, angst, tics, occasional tears, frustration, joy, excitement, thrill, pleasure, delight.......sigh.

I am pretty sure all the other peeps are having those same highs and lows:)

That is a bunch of talent right there and all of them have the same 6 weeks to finish a room.  50% of them are probably already finished and the rest of them are like me....lagging behind in frustration praying that everything aligns for a photo finish!

I wonder if Linda can pick the overachievers and the ones who just are posting with wet paint:)

I am happy to say it was a fairly successful week....let's recap.

The painters came and started caulking the ceiling and new Metrie trim!  Meanwhile I went to the paint store to get the paint and that's when things went wonky.  Since Farrow and Ball  is a ORC sponsor I really wanted to use their paints but there just wanted a good color......whaaaa.

I was hell bent on SW Urbane Bronze and I don't know what happened but I ended up with BM Iron Mountain.  Needless to say at the paint store I think they clapped when I finally left after asking everyone who walked in which color they liked best:)  It was between BM Dragons Breath and  Iron Mountain.

I
Love
It.

No really.....I Love It.

One of our sponsors is ATG Stores Home Furnishings.  I guess I live in a cave but I was not familiar with them!  Whoa Mama they have everything.

I ordered these 2 lamps for my room.....

This Jamie Young Steam Punk table lamp and below this Arteriors floor lamp....

Yep quite the mix right:)  You never want your room to be predictable.....ha ha no chance of that!

I took a trip down to The Mart here in Atlanta to search for a few items for a client "wink wink" and stumbled across this Lee Industries chair that I thought would be perfect for my bedroom.

I needed height and at the time I was leaving my bedroom white.

Sample sale!  I hauled that puppy home and then realized it was a very dark midnight navy.  

WHAT?  No can do boo boo.  Crikey.  

And again my friend Sudi came to the rescue like a "caped super hero".....

And gave me this pretty linen stripe fabric of which there was only 7 yards.  The chair takes 8.  I told my upholster "don't call me unless this chair is done"  I don't want to hear "can't" I want to hear "YES".   

Picking it up today:)

Also picking up these bird prints today.....

Stay tuned to see which frame I selected! 

One little problem arose when the plumber came to install the new Kohler Purist sink faucets.  I was out in the kitchen humming some Snoop Dog rap thinking "life is good"......and he came strolling out with the news......cue "horror film music"  "Miss Sherry the faucet won't fit in the holes [specifically the handles].

WTH?  No.  Get back in there and make it work. 
Sadly..... he would not do it.  So I called Michael Ladisic [the magician] like he had nothing to do but answer my questions [after I called Kohler AND Build.com]. 

Michael sent over one of his project managers to take a look.....and damn if he wasn't MacGyver.

 He taped it up because porcelain cracks very easily....which is why the plumbers wouldn't do it. 

They don't make these sinks any more!

He slowly drilled it [ 2 sinks....all 4 holes] until each one fit!  Like I said earlier.....life is good.


Things are moving along but I'm still waiting for everything I ordered.....kinda getting that nervous "tic" I was talking about earlier.

Until next Wednesday.....

See if anyone else had problems this week:)
