Dare I say that week 4 means we are in the home stretch? Eek! That's a scary thought - but considering we have to have photography done before the week 6 reveal, it really means time is ticking. I'm starting to feel like I'm on one of those cheesy HGTV shows that make everything seem panicky to reach the deadline but it's honestly truth! Our big accomplishment yesterday and today is that the built-in is being installed as we speak:
Dynasty Kitchen is doing a fantastic job for us (and on such a tight timeline!), the trim and details on these units & that perfect little side shelf are making the details come together so beautifully. These photos don't do any of it justice as they are literally covered in dust and unfinished, but it's going to make the final reveal images that much more stunning.
I am loving more and more how the Stroheim grasscloth is looking with the navy blue against it, it totally warms up the space. Similar to this photo I found below and in fact Tonic Living is creating a gorgeous roman shade with navy banding.
And oh the lighting!! This perfect bed-side swing arm lamp from Lamps Plus is the stuff design dreams are made of - it's traditional and chic and it's PLUG in - I don't have to call the electrician!
In addition to this we will layer the lighting with a table lamp from Couture Lamps, and we've got some other fab accessories for those navy built-in shelves like the pile of Britannica's I bought off Craigslist ($33 for 33 volumes!) and the coral bookends:
More to come soon! Peek over at my Instastories when you have a chance and I'll be sure to show you the built-in when it's complete. Then it's time to set up the rug, bed, and artwork!! Be sure to hop by to see all the fabulous designs of the other 19 ORC designers. And thank you for your comments and for taking this journey with me :)
