One Room Challenge...Week 3

Thanks for coming back and checking in on my progress with the One Room Challenge. In case you are new to my blog, you can start the challenge, here. When you last saw my room, I was in the middle of crown molding. I am happy to report that it's done!

I will not lie, that crown molding was one of the toughest things I have ever done. I did not enjoy the process. I don't care if I learned more useless knowledge, because.....I have no intention of doing that again any time soon. Although I have this strange feeling that, like childbirth I might forget. 
I am having the ceiling professionally painted, I hope. No surprise, dealing with painting contractors has been challenging, to say the least. Let's just say that this time, I am waiting for my first choice.  However, to get back on track with the non-existent budget, I will be rolling the walls, myself. You can see on the right, a color I am considering.

This is the television side.

Here are the built-ins that Rod put together from Ikea cabinets. The flimsy cardboard backs are bothering me.....and this is why I have no idea, husband, when we will be moving back in.

They still need to be trimmed out, and Rod doesn't do that. 

This is my favorite view. I love the way all the lines of the planks come together. 
Now would be a good time to think of a color pallet...ya think?For the walls, I'm using this Opal color that Jenny used here
the nightstands will be mint
A pop of coral, somewhere
And whatever else I stumble upon in the next few weeks. Of course all of this is subject to change....just because.
I want to take a second and give a quick thank you to Manidi, from Interior Design Musings, for mentioning the One Room Challenge.
Now, I'm not in this alone...let's go see how the others are doing
