One Room Challenge™, Spring 2017, Week 2

Oh my goodness, week two of the ORC. Is anyone else exhausted by the amount of work happening around the web? And I'm just a spectator.

Oh my goodness, week two of the ORC. Is anyone else exhausted by the amount of work happening around the web? And I'm just a spectator. I must admit I am a bit nervous over several of these transformations. One of them is behind schedule with her walls and floors, another has pipes in the middle of her design, while a third is covered in plaster dust. Game on!

The ORC Featured Designers are so fortunate to have the option to include gorgeous products in their spaces from the following sponsors:

All Modern | Annie Selke | Arianna Belle | ATG Stores | Bellacor | Candelabra

 Crystorama | Emtek | Fabricut | Farrow & Ball | Framebridge | Fringe Market

 Haiku Fans | Hapi Art | Jill Rosenwald | Karastan | Lamps Plus | Lazzaro Leather

 Metrie | Minted | Mohawk NewWall | Parima Studio | The Shade Store | Varaluz

Off to see the progress....

Remember to come back tomorrow and see how the Guest Participants are coming along. They are seriously talented!

It's Spring - and that can only mean one thing

It's One Room Challenge™ time! I know, you thought I was lying around on the beach in the happiest town in the US. Maybe next season, because I have been hard at work preparing for a spectacular spring event. 

It's One Room Challenge™ time! I know, you thought I was lying around on the beach in the happiest town in the US. Maybe next season, because I have been hard at work preparing for a spectacular spring event. 

Isn't this view amazing. This home belongs to a lovely couple who enjoys hosting parties for business associates. Somehow I made the list.

Back to the ORC - This Wednesday kicks off the eleventh season. Yes, this will be the sixth year (2 seasons per year) of bringing you as much inspiration and motivation humanly possible through this collaborative event.

You are not going to want to miss this amazing group of talented designers. Trust me, it's good. And let's not forget about the uber-talented Guest Participants. Remember to come by on Thursdays for even more inspirational interior design ideas. 

If you are planning on participating as a guest, you can grab a logo here. If you would like an idea on how to pace blog posts, read this (NOTE: the dates don't match from this older post). Just in case you are not sure how to link up your post (this is really old) you can read this. Also, feel free to register as a guest so you can keep up to date on the latest news.

I have so much more to tell you over the coming weeks. It feels great to be back at Calling it Home. Cheers!

One Room Challenge™ Guest Participants, Week 6

There is so much talent in these rooms, please take the time to visit and share your comments with them.

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am for today! What could possibly be better than seeing yesterday's room transformations? How about over 200++ more rooms!

There is so much talent in these rooms, please take the time to visit and share your comments with them. If you participated, I hope you had a great time. If you did not jump in this round, you may want to consider taking the challenge in the spring.

The ORC is an event where everyone is a winner! I will be talking more about this at the Design Bloggers Conference in Beverly Hills. I am really excited to share with you what I have learned along this eventful and visually stunning road. I hope I'll see you there. It's going to be so much fun.

And now, The Rules:

1. Only link up rooms dedicated to the One Room Challenge. The purpose of this event is to support one another in finishing a room. 

2. Your post should include information about your space and a link back to the ORC link-up page so the readers can easily navigate through the other rooms. 

3. Please be respectful of this interior design event and only have links that relate to your One Room Challenge space. Guiding the viewers away from this event is not in the spirit of the ORC and won't be permitted. 

Remember to tag @oneroomchallenge and @housebeautiful on Instagram! #oneroomchallenge

Let's go share some love.

One Room Challenge™, Fall 2016, Week 6!

Well this is it! Here we are at the final week of the One Room Challenge. What started out as a fun idea, has grown into a biannual event viewed by millions...

MEDIA PARTNER

Well this is it! Here we are at the final week of the One Room Challenge. What started out as a fun idea, has grown into a biannual event viewed by millions....over 3 million (not including the additional event coverage from House Beautiful, ORC's official Media Sponsor and all the other additional coverage)! The One Room Challenge™ is a brand and a business constantly evolving.

With my small team, I work passionately behind the scenes, rarely discussing the process of coordinating and executing all the moving parts. Between the designers, the sponsors, and the guest participants, there are a lot of pieces that make up the exciting puzzle called the ORC. 

Sound interesting? Want to know more? Gosh, I hope so, because I will be sharing lots at the Design Bloggers Conference in Beverly Hills! I am really excited to share with you what I have learned along this eventful and visually stunning road. I hope I'll see you there. It's going to be so much fun.

And now, thank you to these amazing designers who have brought it BIG for you. Remember, in this event, everyone is a winner. Let's go see their rooms.....
