One Room Challenge, Fall 2016 - Week 5
Well, you may have noticed that I skipped right over Week 4 in the ORC. There just wasn't enough progress to warrant a post. But, we've gotten a lot more accomplished this week, and I am excited to reveal our revamped guest room next week. It's not going to be the most dramatic of reveals, but I am so pleased to be able to offer our guests a welcoming space instead of the cluttered dungeon-like room it was up until a month ago.
We hung the drapes along the back wall, and it makes such a difference in the coziness factor. My dad (who is fairly oblivious to all things design) even commented that it makes it seem like there is a wall of windows hiding just behind the bed - exactly my intention! The dimensions are a little off since I had to work with what I already own and wasn't able to customize the drapes to the space, but I think it is still as step-up from a windowless room with drop tile ceiling. :)
I also set up a little reading/relaxing nook in the corner of the room that previously held all of our junk. Just a tiny bit of an improvement, I'd say. Still waffling over my accent fabric choices (the pillow and throw pictured are just stand-ins), but since it's down to the wire, availability may become my most influential factor.

That's my quick update for now. See you next week for the reveal!
