Let's do this!
First, a huge thank you to Linda @ Calling it Home, the mastermind behind the ORC.
Be sure to stop by and check out the over-the-top talent she's rounded up this time!
And, thanks so much for stopping by to see what I'm up to this time around!
I know you all have a lot of ORC posts to check out, so here's a short and sweet intro to
my project. I'm thrilled to be helping a client turned friend with her Master Bedroom.
She's been through a divorce this past year and is the sweetest, hard working, single
mom and thought it would be selfish to do her room before the rest of the house was
completed. We had a little chat and here we are. :)
Not your typical makeover - a symbolic out with the old!
We're on a budget, but she has a great sense of style and we've been scouring
Craigslist for a month or so and we're not finished yet, I'm dying to show you
our finds, and how we'll be incorporating them.

This sponge painted statement wall was done 18 years ago by a highly acclaimed
master who did the Parade of Homes! In the day I'm sure it was the bomb, but it's time,
and we're going light, bright and white!

Our plan is a new furniture arrangement, with the bed under the window,
and an upholstered headboard.

Replace this armoire with a beautiful, functional piece that has storage, doubles as a
media center, is unique, not too narrow, not too wide and inexpensive. No small feat, but
THANK YOU CRAIGSLIST!!
Our inspiration is this piece from designer, Amanda Nisbet's Manhattan apartment.THANK YOU CRAIGSLIST!!
Do you see the TV...I didn't think so...perfect!
Her high vaulted ceiling is begging for large statement lighting, we were open to different
styles but when this ad showed up on Craigslist we raced to get one of them.

Awesome! Can't wait to see that DIY you are talking about
Ha! I know you will work your magic with her space. She deserves a sanctuary! Embarrassed to say that I fell victim to that plaster-look sponge business too. Grrrrr...
your ORC rooms have always been my fave turnarounds Pam, so for sure I'll be stalking you throughout this series! Bless your heart for helping this single mom, can't wait!
Cant wait to see what you do with light fixture!! Room will look fabulous!
Oh, just enough to leave me dying to see more. You're kinda good at this! ;)
I love your inspiration. It will be beautiful!
Inspiration = beautiful...bones of the room = beautiful...craigslist finds = beautiful...this is going to be good!
Your makeovers are always mind blowing, and I'm sure this one will be no different. This room is going to look decades younger!!
Can't wait to see the magic that you'll create. So kind of you to help a friend.
Fun fun fun! I love to follow your ORC projects. What great bones to start with!
Yay!! I can't wait to follow along! Good luck Pam!
I am loving your plans - it's going to be one killer bedroom! And some day I swear I'm going to show up in front of your house with a U-haul and take a big Denver Craigslist stash home with me - you continue to amaze me with the things that you find!
Yes, we all had that sponge wall treatment back in the day!!! Those light fixtures are so interesting...can't wait to see what you do with them. I will be following along to see how it all turns out.
Oh Pam this is going to be wonderful!!
Cannot wait to see this one. And, what a fabulous thing to do for a friend!!
That first inspiration picture is amazing! If my bedroom looked like that, it would almost be impossible to pull me out of bed every morning! I'm excited to hear about your secret DIY project, too.
I love hearing about people helping out their friends with a room refresh. It's way better than a bottle of wine or a hug. It's a lasting morale boost :) I love your inspiration photo and am excited to see what that statement light turns into. Good luck over the next 5 weeks!
OMG, you've always killed it in the ORC and I'm sure this time will be no different!! Love a client that's a Craiglist slayer!! Can't wait to see more!
I can NOT wait to see this Pam! You are a master, she is going to love her new space! Craigslist really does have some of the best stuff if you are patient and stalk it stealthily.
So excited to see all that you do to your room! I love how you find amazing deals and work your DIY magic. This is going to be good!
Wow Pam! Those ceiling light fixtures are a.m.a.z.i.n.g! Good luck!
Go Pam, GO!!!
Great plan! Can't wait to see the progress. And yes, time for that paint job to go!
What a lovely bedroom space this is going to be. I cannot wait to see your progress and how it all unfolds.
I too am participating in the One Room Challenge. My challenges? I just moved to a completely new state (Texas) last week and therefore have no idea where to source things other than Wal Mart and Home Depot. :) I am currently battling strep throat and just want to lay around and eat soup as opposed to painting a 30 year old polyurethaned oak coffered ceiling that has never before seen paint. The accompanying powder room rivals the worst gas station stall ever. But a bonus is that the previous owners installed a wine glass and bottle holder on the ceiling of the bathroom. I kid you not. Come take a peek.
Pam, you are the CL whisperer of CO! I love this woman, already. How amazing to be able to help her and diy. Love the high ceilings. Can't wait.
I am so happy that you are doing this challenge AND doing it for a sweet friend. How great is that! Can't wait to see it turn out and hear how happy she is with the "new".
I'm pretty sure my heart skipped a beat when I saw those light fixtures. I desperately need the big one for my entryway! This is going to be an amazing room - can't wait to follow the progress!
This is going to be such an oasis…love changing the bed position….YOU ARE SO GREAT!
Oh yeay!! I know you will make this space so amazing for her. SHe is so lucky to count on you! I can't wait to follow along.
So glad you are doing this as this room is going to be incredible with you in charge. :)
Okay Craigslist Queen...I know you won't dissappoint!!
"We had a little chat and here we are. :)" You're a good friend. As soon as you mentioned Craigslist, I knew this room would be great - can't wait to see what you create!
Oh I cannot wait to see the end result!
And I'm so sorry I've been so MIA this summer - life is beyond crazy. Now that fall is here it's still busy but the earlier darkness seems to lend itself to a few more minutes to spend on my computer :)
Catching up.....will be following you on this journey!!!
Can't wait to follow along with the transformation of your room. Good luck with the challenge :)
Oh my! I can't wait to see the progress and finished product! Good luck!!!
I know you are going to make us all jealous with the cool things you find and diy.....Holy heck....those light fixtures. I know this makeover will come from your heart Pam:)
Pam you have such amazing style and are a DIY goddess. I love that you're helping your friend through a tough time. This will be a gorgeous room and a fresh start. Yay to both:)
Yay Pam! This looks awesome! Can't wait to follow along again this round!
I so love your one room challenge projects and i am sure your friend and client is so excited that her room is your project!...
I really like what I saw. This design is great for a romantic honeymoon. I'm talking about those couples that are created in adulthood. We all strive for comfort after 40. I asked about it in the chat where older women looking for younger men - https://www.flirtmatures.com/older-women-meet-younger-men.html Comfort and tranquility come first for self-made women. They have the right to choose the best and use it 100%
