The Pink Pagoda

Welcome to Week Three of the One Room Challenge.  If you missed Week One, go  here  and for Week Two go  here  to catch up. I'm grateful to be  included in the ORC.  Linda, of  Calling It Home , created and organized it, and I'm thrilled to be participating. The twenty bloggers seen above are redoing one room each in six  weeks and posting progress every Wednesday.  My daughter and I are working together on her bedroom. Over the weekend, I spent a lot of time working on this frame project.  This will be the frame used for the painting Kerry Steele is creating for the focal point of the room/over the bed.  If you're a TPP reader, you will be surprised to see that I did a DIY. You can see by the materials I used that I'm quite an amateur.  I used a dry cleaners bag as a drop cloth along with three different colors of Rustoleum wood floor stain that I applied with paper towels.

Welcome to Week Two of the One Room Challenge.  If you missed Week One, you can go  here  to catch up.  I'm so appreciative that  Linda 's included me in ORC.  She created and organized it, and I'm thrilled to be along for the ride.  A group of us are redoing one room each in six weeks and posting our progress every Wednesday.  The photo below is my 15-year-old daughter's room, and it's what we're (she and I are a team on this one) working on transforming.   So much to do and so little time!  I'm trying to do the most time sensitive things first.  We thought an abstract over the bed would be perfect.  I called my friend, the very lovely and talented artist  Kerry Steele , to ask if she'd be interested.  Thank goodness she is!  Kerry thought it would be fun to work with my daughter and let her commission the painting.  Kerry asked her to create a Pinterest board of abstract art, and to look thr...

I'm sharing gorgeous images from the portfolio of Philip Gorrivan Designs for your gazing pleasure today.  So, so much to see, but I haven't even scratched the surface of the loveliness to be seen on the Philip Gorrivan Design site .   and press So, what do you think?  I think there's so much to admire, I really can't choose a favorite.  Also, the interiors are so different that they can't be easily compared.  If you think these show range, go check out the website .  I'm always impressed when designers can successfully create such diverse styles.
