Unexpected Chaos
Where did the time go? I won't bore you with the details on how busy I have been (because I know you are, too)....here's the CliffsNotes
Where did the time go? I won't bore you with the details on how busy I have been (because I know you are, too)....here're the CliffsNotes -
- The ORC ended, but my collaboration with Housebeautiful.com continued for several weeks.
- After visiting e-v-e-r-y college that said 'yes' and avoiding the schools that said 'no', our daughter is happily tucked away in Boston (son is still in high school).
- I had a lovely dinner with several interior designers while visiting Boston. Kim, a blog friend from the early days and one of the original ORC-ers (currently Wayfair's Designer of the Month), was so kind to make the arrangements. I was excited to meet Kelly Rogers, who created this stunning entryway in a previous ORC, Linda Holt, who designed this fun and welcoming family room also for the ORC, and Laurie Gorelick, who has never participated in the ORC...yet :)

- After leaving my real estate marketing position, early this year, I focused all of my energy full-time on the One Room Challenge™ while interviewing local real estate brokers. The distance and perspective afforded me the opportunity to make the best next decisions, for both careers. I am happy to back in real estate and I'll tell you more about it later.
- And speaking of the ORC, We're partnering with House Beautiful for the second consecutive season. Together, we've had some exciting ideas. That's all I can say, so be sure to jump in and/or stay tuned.

And, just in case you are still with me, here is a handy checklist to keep you updated:
- Follow the official One Room Challenge Instagram account
- Start planning your ORC transformation.
- Come back on October 5th & 6th for endless inspiration (or subscribe so you won't have to remember).
It feels good to back at CIH.
HAPPY FALL!
My Future Master Bath
It's Monday, so it must be time for a house update. I am posting the updates whenever I have something to share....and it happens to be Monday...I'm not committing to a schedule.
I spent the weekend obsessing over sconces. I will be having four sconces flanking the two mirrors in my future master bath.
I know two of the images only have 3 sconces...it's late and I'm tired. I've been looking for a prom dress in-between all of this.
I find the entire subject of a master bath, an interesting one. It is a place for luxury, for sure, but who will actually see it? Other than us? Reminding myself of this, while I shop, helps me keep things in perspective. There will definitely be some splurges in here, but also some cost saving items, too.
Case in point....reasonably priced sconces.
Eight weeks until move in.....ready or not!
