Welcome back to week 2 of the One Room Challenge™. Did you manage to go through all twenty of the designers, last week? I have to say, I am super excited to see these spaces come together. You may find this an interesting fact; unless they happen to tell me, I have no idea which room each designer will be transforming. I don't even know if they will be selecting any gorgeous products for their spaces from these generous sponsors:

House Beautiful has declared their Top 3 Trends (so far) from the One Room Challenge™. I don't want to spoil the surprise for you, so all I will say is YES, it's a color in my book. Here's the reminder of the participants......

Sorry to be a pain (more than usual), but if you are receiving double emails from me, could you please let me know. Trust me, I'm horrified at the thought of this as much as you are. #namaste

Hello? Happy New Year?

Testing 1..2..3...ahem, I'm feeling a bit rusty at this. Happy 2016, my friends! 

For 2016, I won't pretend to make promises that I won't keep, resolutions that would never last, or predictions that would only be a guess. Instead, I'm going to declare that I have no idea what this year will bring. Here's what I know for sure -

2015 was a great year for the One Room Challenge™.

House Beautiful credited this shot

as their number one Instagram like for the entire year! 

What's even more shocking is that this image did not go up until November, so it had a short amount of time to gain all those likes. You can read about the top 15 images for

House Beautiful, here

House Beautiful has always been great to the ORC. They often feature some of the

guest participants

. Melissa, from

Polished Habitat

has been featured several times.

Her closet makeover

got their attention., this round. Can you even believe this closet?

Polished Habitat

I would be so embarrassed to show you my closet. Although I did mange to find some

new dressy-er pants

for my dynamic career

as a real estate mogul

. Did I mention my daughter is

threatening

thinking about going to Law School? She barely finished writing her essays for her undergraduate applications. #ImNotPayingForThat

Aniko, from

Place of My Taste

was also featured on House Beautiful. Her living room transformation is fantastic! Be sure to

read all about it on HB

.

Place of My Taste

Another end-of-the-year-but-I-hope-it-is-not-too-late event going on is a sale at TPP (

The Pink Pagoda

). You can find all

the gorgeousness, here

.  

Well I made it through my first post of 2016! Thanks for hanging in with me and keeping up with all my shenanigans (had to use spell check for that one). 

I'm going to beak my non-resolution/prediction, and say that my new site will be the largest website transformation I have ever procrastinated and agonized over. I'm not sure when it will be done, but I do know that it will be finished long before my

home renovation

 is complete. That will never be finished :).
