Well here we are at WEEK 4 of the ORC.  I am at a rather difficult stage of this project.

PAINTING OVER THE ORANGE WALLS

The orange walls have required at least three coats of white paint and I’m not even sure that’s going to do it.  I still have to paint the trim on the doors and the stairs.

My intention is to finish those by the end of the weekend. We’ll see how that goes.  This is after one coat so you can see what we are dealing with.

That old trim is looking pretty funky.

Trying to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

The pictures for my gallery wall are being matted and assembled this week.

I ordered a runner from West Elm and I’m hoping it’s everything I want it to be

Once I have it, I can figure out the door paint colors

So I’ve definitely got my work cut out for me NEXT WEEK.

I’ll be painting the dresser and selecting new hardware…

My husband’s job is to install the lighting and assist with painting. He is a seriously speedy champ on the paint roller.

We also need to restore the floor at the bottom of the stairs. It is the scariest thing we found when we pulled up the rug.  This area is also the entry into my home office so I thought it needed something.

I found an awesome stencil on Instagram from HEIRLOOM142 . It is coming from Canada so I hope it gets here in time! They shipped it out the next day which I really appreciated.

I’m stressing out this week so wish me good luck.

Grab a huge cup of coffee (or wine if that applies) and follow along with all the other DESIGNERS and GUEST PARTICIPANTS

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my post.   I’ll talk to you next week!

Best,

Suzanne
