ONE ROOM CHALLENGE: WEEK THREE

I can’t believe it’s already time for the One Room Challenge week three update! (Here are week one and week two updates in case you’re just tuning in.) We had such a productive weekend with Will’s mom in town (many hands make light work!) clearing out clutter, moving out furniture, and assembling new pieces as they arrived.

(Rory thinks the One Room Challenge is all about him. 😉 ) The new chairs were a Joss & Main find and instantly lightened up the space. I love them with these Serena & Lily pillows, whose suede corners pick up the cognac leather of the sofa.

one room challenge west elm malone campaign dresser

Say hello to the West Elm Malone campaign dresser! This piece is STUNNING in person — we literally gasped when it arrived. The gold hardware is gorgeous and the drawers hide a multitude of bachelor pad necessities like ping pong balls, solo cups, and superfluous electronics. 😉 And one day, when we don’t live in tiny New York apartments, it will be right at home in a walk-in closet for Will. It combines my love of campaign furniture with Will and his roommate Mike’s masculine aesthetic and need for storage — that’s what we call a win win.

We also picked up these West Elm frames for a few of Will’s favorite art pieces. I wasn’t too keen on a couple of pieces until I saw them framed in linen and gold… It’s funny how the right frame can take artwork to the next level.

We happened to find the perfect bar cart at West Elm as well so stay tuned for that in next week’s update! Right now we’re focused on finding a coffee table we both like (how many more weeks will I type that sentence?) and waiting for artwork and frames to arrive so we can tackle hanging the gallery wall. I head to Charleston this weekend so I’ll be hard pressed to make more progress before and after the trip.
