Well we are one week away from revealing our One Room Challenge and I'm not gonna lie....I'm in full blown panic mode. So.Much.To.Do.
October has turned out to be beyond busy for me, which is a blessing, but also means the bedroom has fallen to the bottom of my priority list. Everything has been ordered and is slowly starting to arrive, but y'all...the PAINTING of the room is where I'm struggling! Its still not done. And it is taking me so long to finish. Hence the panic.

This company is known for its warehouse style of selling fabulous brands of stylish home furnishings at rock bottom prices.

If you are not familiar with the One Room Challenge, its an online event put on by Calling It Home that challenges designers, bloggers, and whomever wants to participate, to makeover a room in their house in only 6 weeks. Every Thursday, we will post our progress, and link it up over at Calling It Home, so you can see all the fabulous transformations everyone has planned.
Let's take a look at my bedroom as it is right now. Ugh. I'm cringing.

A few months back, I talked about Shibori , the ancient Japanese art of tie-dye and how this trend was blowing up the internet.

Read MoreWhen I started this blog 5 years ago, it was a creative outlet for me to talk about design and decorating while connecting with like minded individuals, something I greatly missed after decided to leave my design job, move to a new country, and stay home to raise my small kids. Little did I know that the blog would teach me new skills, and open up my world to an entirely new way of helping people achieve the home of their dreams. A vision was born, and now that vision has become a reality.
I'm super excited to announce that in addition to a NEW website and a New name, I am now offering E-Design Services.
