Today's the day! It's reveal day and I'm so excited to share with you the finished project for this year's Fall One Room Challenge! But first, if you need to catch up, you can do so by clicking the posts below:
Week 1 - Dreams Need Detail
The fifth and final step in our design process is the installation. It's the step where all the hard work and planning pays off with the unveiling of a dream space for our client. Today that client is ME and I'm almost as excited as they usually are on the big day.
Here's a look back at the space as I first found it. A little rough around the edges but definitely
full of potential.
Before we could get to the decorating fun, I needed to sure up the foundational elements of the project.
Here are the selections for the aesthetic improvements we made to the space.
In addition to resurfacing the fireplace, installing wood floors and new trim, reclaimed wood beams were added to draw the eye up to the second level windows and vaulted ceiling. They instantly added more character and a more rustic vibe fitting for the home's mountain environment.
I landed on one of Sherwin Williams' new Emerald Designer Edition colors called Simple Stone. It's a beautiful neutral with a hint of green that draws in just enough color from the outdoors, making a subtle reference to nature while working perfectly with the colors in my design scheme.
Take a look at how it all came together...

Take a moment to pan around the room (use your cursor for a quick 360 view) to take it all in. One of my favorite elements is the addition of upholstered bi-fold doors on the small two closets in the living space. Y'all know I love an upholstered door. We used the same Thibaut fabric from the drapery to provide connectivity and amped them up with hardware from Charlotte's own, Addison Weeks.
Am I the only one who wants to dive onto that velvet sectional and curl up with someone special (or even a good Netflix series for that matter 😂 )?
On the opposite side of the space lives the dining area. I love setting a table and entertaining, so a more formal look seemed to resonate with me. The only thing I knew going in was that I was using the Dowel Furniture Murdock table and my Cumberland settee from my collections with
Sylvester Alexander.
Here's a look at the space before.
We continued the paint color, beams and window treatments in this area and here it is...

The art makes a huge statement in the space. Both pieces are from my friend Kelly O'Neal's collection with Leftbank Art. Take a closer look around with the panoramic view below and try to resist the urge to pour yourself a cocktail from that amazing Duncan Corner Cabinet by Highland House.
Y'all, I love it all so much. What a fun project this has been. I read this quote recently in
Glennon Doyle's book Untamed...
“As every architect and designer knows there’s a critical step between vision and reality. Before imagination becomes 3-dimensional, it usually needs to become 2-dimensional. It’s as though the unseen order needs to come to life one dimension at a time.”
I said from the very beginning that my dreams need detail, so with this ORC project I set out to get really specific about where I'm heading. If my dream of owning a mountain home is one dimension and this project is the second, you know what's next. Let's make this a reality.
Until then...
