One Room Challenge (week 4)
Hello, and thanks for coming back. Before I begin, I would like to thank Saved By Suzy and My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia for featuring my china hutch. It is the best feeling to see your creativity on another blog!
This is week 4 of the One Room Challenge. In case you are new here, you can start the challenge series here. The weeks continue to fly by. It is definitely time to prioritize and let the small things fall off the list. Here is the progress in my dining room
My ceiling is finished
If you would like to know how I installed the planks, you can go here. Now remember, the final coat of paint was applied by a professional painter...and well worth it!
Remember this screen I showed you
Well, I decided to deck it out a bit. First, I primed the black frame and then applied a high gloss finish. Once that was dry, I decided to add gold highlights to the carvings
This became so tedious, I hired my daughter to finish it. She still has more to do.
I also applied gold leaf. It still needs touching up and the missing pieces have not been put back...but you get the idea
I also separated the two and will hang them on both sides of the china hutch as artwork.
There is progress in my corner,
It now looks like this
I may paint the top half another color...still not sure...OR just the edges with the blue I am using on the lanterns. What do you think?
Speaking of lanterns, I have run out of blue paint and am waiting for Michaels to get a delivery. So, I can't hang them...but here is a better look at them
I am not sure if they need a black glaze on them to tone them down. I need to see them in place before I can decide that. This is the direction my room is headed
I had no idea when I started that it would evolve into this...but I think I love it! Thanks for checking in with my room, now let's go make the rounds to the other rooms and see how they are doing. For week 5 go here.

I love the way it glows at night. I decided to repurpose the original shades and just add a bit of paint to them
