ORC Week 4 - Disappointments and choices

JOIN HERE
Hello everyone!  Things are progressing along well for most of the projects here in ORC, can't wait for the big reveal since by now, I can already see how smashing the rooms/spaces will be!

Anyway, I have hit a huge SNAG,
Remember what I said about my carpet delay last time? Well, it is in for so much more DELAY.
I am absolutely DISAPPOINTED IN LOWE'S.

For years, Lowe's has always been my GO-TO-BIG-BOX store for home improvement services, from my window treatments to major appliances, I have been a loyal customer.
But with the big 'fumble' they did on my carpet order, I don't think I will be anymore. To cut a long story short,  it would be APRIL 28th until they Install my carpeting, considering I ordered them before ORC started!
I will not tell you how they messed up, but believe me, IT'S THEIR FAULT on why this delay came to be since I was never lacking on follow-ups and contacting them.

That means, I can only fix and decorate, assemble the furniture on the last week of the ORC!!! YIKES! I need all the LUCK I can get, and that's in big part, NO THANKS TO LOWES!

Sorry for my rant, I just have to let it out my friends.
I'm trying to move forward with other things, and I need you help on some decisions.

First up, something fun - I need to ask which of these do you think would be great over the crib?

1) Lion, Elephant, Giraffe mobile from MARJENDESIGNS on ETSY
2) Modern Nursery Mobile from COOLSTUFFARTGALLERY on ETSY
3) Coral & Gold paper crib mobile from FOURGLITTEREDGEESE on ETSY
4) Flowing Rhythm Rainbow from FLENSTED mobile
5) In the Jungle classic mobile from HOME DECORATORS.COM
6) Giraffes on Savannah from FLENSTED mobile
Confusing right? All so pretty in their unique way. Any of these would make great gifts too!

Next up is curtain dilemma.

Can't decide what to put up?

Both are from TARGET and both are very pretty. Which one do you think would work best in this nursery?

Also, I wanted to share this...

From Walmart via WAYFAIR

This arrived already ( and yes, 'thanks' to Lowe's I can't assemble it yet) and it will be going by the window. I think it will be perfect for the space don't you think?

And thanks to my Mother-in-law, I was able to have these...

Made from clearance Table Cloth fabric from TARGET

Finally, I shared with you this

Our Indoor Window Dilemma

Which I wrote about HERE


I think I may have an unexpected solution which I hope to share next week!
Stay tuned, since this has gotten me really excited!

Right now, our whole house is a mess since there are boxes everywhere. I really wish I could be done sooner, but for now, it looks like it'll be a race to the finish for us.

Oh, also, I shared this on INSTAGRAM recently...

Definitely more gorgeous in person!

What to do with an Indoor Window

So by now, all of you know that I am in the middle of doing my daughter's nursery.

I have the plan in my head and everything is moving forward with the  plan except for this...

My Window Dilemma

Yes, this room has an indoor window. And I just DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT?!!!

See? It looks out into out living room and Breakfast area

In the first place, most INDOOR or INTERIOR Windows are born out of room extensions and additions to a home. And so it is usually kept for decorative purposes. However, our Interior windows are NOT decorative, and I believe the previous owners of our house wanted them because they could look into what's going on in the living room.


I scoured the internet and saw how some people work their way around it.


Decorate around it
Display what's inside


Put bookshelves around it
Just embrace it and make it a statement piece
I could of course, treat it like an outdoor window and just put a curtain over it, but I'm just not sold into that idea yet. It may be my last resort. 

I'm painting the trim already

I've got ideas running in my head and I think you would be surprised too once I show you what I'll do with it! Wish me a big "GOOD LUCK"!

Have a Great Week!
