ORC Week 4 - Progress & Problems on Boys Room

Hello again!

We're now on Week 4 of the ONE ROOM CHALLENGE hosted by Linda from Calling It Home and I don't have much to show for YET!

LINK UP HERE
I don't know if hanging curtains is considered progress...

:-(
... or assembling the side tables up...



... But things going into the room have arrived so far...

Hardware upgrade for dressers and sides

Zimba wallpaper ( at least 1 roll of it)
 .. and the one that made me the happiest (and also my son ;-), the reading chair!
Ta-da!
I have to rave about the awesome service I got from TOTALLY FURNITURE, an online furniture store I just discovered in my search for an Arne Jacobsen Egg Chair I so desperately want! I ordered this lookalike right away and got it 2 days later! Yes, Two days! It's like ordering from Amazon Prime, only better since shipping is FREE! A new source for sure that I will keep coming back to for my furniture needs. :-)

Regarding the wallpaper, it did arrive early, but I only got a single roll when I ordered a double. I contacted the Customer service of PATIO LANE, where I ordered from, and they said they will send the other roll asap. The only problem is, this second roll will not be exactly the same as the one I have since they were printed 'differently'?!!! Ugggghhhh! I asked if they could send me a new set of double roll and I will just send them back the roll that I have, and they said, it might take 6 weeks! Uggghhhh! So I took my chance and have them send the different single roll and hope and pray, that it matches the one that I have!

Some good news though, I talked to my painter and wall paper hanger, and said they will start next week. So I hope I can show you something better next week!

Anyway, enough of moi and my woes. Let's go check on the other peeps awesome progress!

Have a Great Weekend Everyone!

  2. Vel, that is frustrating on the paper, but the chair! The chair! It's awesome. If the wallpaper isn't done at least this room will be 90% done by the time the ORC is up! I love the direction you're taking it!

  4. I'm glad you could find a chair that has the same look and function like you wanted. Too bad about the wallpaper but I have in the past re-ordered more wallpaper for a project that I ran short on and it came in just fine. I like the new curtain pattern- just enough to give a pattern without being dominating. I do my best when the pressure is on so I guess that's going to be your defining moment with getting this done for the challenge!

  5. Very cool reading chair! I also like the wonderful pillow and the fabulous wallpaper too! Such a bummer regarding the wallpaper, hopefully the next one matches in terms of colors! Wishing you the best of luck, Vel!
