Thanks for checking in on the project's progress. Again, if you're new, be sure to check out my previous posts linked below in the series to get all caught up.
Get the scoop on what I've been working on over the past week in this week's video...
So that's Step 4 of our process. I'm having a blast picking the final details in my project.
Next week, I'll be sharing my favorite furniture selections in the project and I'm also giving you a sneak peek into what's coming. Stay tuned and be sure to check out the other Featured Designers...
♪ Heigh ho, heigh ho, it's off to market we go. 🎵
Welcome back! We'll, we've reached the sourcing portion of the project when it's finally time to pick all the pretty things. But first...if you're new here, be sure to check out our previous posts to get caught up.
Check out the video below to get the latest and to learn why we source product at High Point Market twice each year.
After a super productive trip to High Point, I'm now back in the office pulling together all of the selections we've made. I fell in love with so many items at High Point Market, but not all of them will make the cut. Here's a look at just a few...
Faux Antlers from Chelsea House
Side Chair from Wesley Hall
Ottoman from Norwalk Furniture
Hide Rug from Antiques & Design Center
Thibaut Wallpaper
Corner Cabinet from Highland House
Once I've made decisions, the final selections will be compiled and sent off to our rendering artist to create a picture of the space that we'll be working on.
As mentioned in the video, this step in the process is critical because it helps to create and communicate a visual of the vision we have for our client's homes.
Welcome back friends! I'm super excited about this week's post because today I'm revealing the space I'll be designing for this fall's One Room Challenge! Before we get started...if you're joining for the first time this week, be sure to check out my week one post, "Dreams Need Detail" to get caught up.
This week, I'm taking you inside to get the first look at my Mountain Magic dream home project.
As I searched for properties to serve as the inspiration for this project, I wanted to find something with built-in character and this property DID NOT disappoint. Yeah ok, so it's not in the best condition, but the bones sure are good. Check out the video below to learn more about the space I'm tackling and where the design process begins.
Get a closer look at the space and our preliminary plans below.
THE SPACE
View upon entry
Living Space
Living Space
Dining Space
The mood for the space is warm, cozy and a little fancy. I'm a pink girl- through and through- so I want to play those hues up in my getaway without being overly girly. Juxtaposed with dark rick woods and stone, I think it will work!
THE MOOD
I've not completely settled on the layout for the dining space but I know there will be a table and a settee from my furniture line with High Point vendor, Sylvester Alexander.
THE LAYOUT
Typically we move from this step to the budget/proposal phase. In my case, there is no budget (Yay!🎉) so only a needs list was developed during this step. It will help us as we travel to High Point Market later this week to specify items for the project (among other things).
THE LIST
So there's the plan! Be sure to follow along on social media this weekend to get all the behind the scenes of our trip to furniture market. The abbreviated schedule is going to make for a world-wind of a trip. Stay tuned!

Welcome! Welcome! Welcome! I'm Cheryl, Owner and Principal Designer here at Dwell by Cheryl Interiors. I operate a boutique residential design firm that helps busy clients create classic, colorful, cultured and cozy homes that are beautiful, functional and a representation of who they are and their journey to get there. We create homes that allow our clients to live their fullest lives. I'm so excited to be joining the One Room Challenge as a Featured Designer once again! If you're new here, be sure to check out my Spring One Room Challenge transformation.
If you haven't heard already, the One Room Challenge has teamed up with High Point Market, the world's largest home furnishings industry trade show, and this season the featured designers will be tackling virtual spaces with product exclusively sourced through High Point Market vendors.
Yep, we'll be designing rooms from top to bottom, culminating in week six with beautiful (and very realistic) digital renderings. Check out the video below to hear more and to learn a little about the space I'll be tackling.
So, there you have it! I'll be designing a space in my future mountain getaway...
or at least a stand in for it. The property even meets quite a few of my dream mountain house getaway wishlist items:
It has a great mountain location
It's within 2.5 hours from my home
It has a mountain view
There's enough space from me and guests
The interior has lots of character
(NOTE: Just so we're clear, I'm not purchasing this home, but it looks like something I'd be interested in if I were ready to pull the trigger.)
Fact is, my dreams need detail and this year's One Room Challenge is the perfect opportunity to paint a pretty vivid picture. Check back next week when I'll take you inside to see the space I'll be designing and share my preliminary plans and vision for my dream getaway.
Mountain house living...here I come!
