One Room Challenge - Bedroom/Closet Week 2

Week 2's weekend consisted of a serious case of the lazies. And I'm starting to enter panic mode. Let me just tell you - I will be on a bachelorette party next weekend for FOUR days, and where will my hubs be for FIVE days the weekend before the big reveal? A bachelor party. Holy hangover. Terrible timing award goes to us.

BUT back to the present day... laziness = lots of online shopping. I decided on this pillow from H&M as my floral element for the room. It's got pink and black and even a touch of turquoise. And for $12.95 a piece, I bought two!

A little punch of turquoise will be a nod to my closet which I am DIY'ing a turquoise beaded chandelier.  My inspiration picture is something you probably all know clearly.
 

Doesn't everyone want one of these? I think I'm going to follow this tutorial with a few tweaks. You see, I already have this chandelier from Lowe's. It's a little bit twirly and swirly, but I think I can make it work. 

 

So, my idea is that I will follow that tutorial and buy some turquoise spray paint and call it a day. The holdup? It's currently hanging in the bedroom portion of our room, and without it - we can't see. This'll have to wait till closer to the end when we run electrical to the closet. 

And, my rug and my stencil came in!  Can't wait to see all of this fun stuff come together. 

I told you last week that we had already demo'ed the closet. This actually took J a couple weeks to do prior to the start of the challenge. We've got the demo done, and we installed some new wood planks in areas where there was only plywood. The smell of floor stain and polyurethane is forever embedded into my memory from when we did the whole house and staircase one short year ago. Hoping it fades quickly. Something we did accomplish this week was to partially frame out one of the closets. 

On to the demo story, shall we? So we ripped out two closets and that vanity and mirror. And half of that wall that you see to the right of the ladder. 

So once the vanity was out, we had to address that blue wood. Blue wood? J started installing new planks. 

Add installing hardwoods to our resume. Check! 

Alas, the demo is complete. Doesn't it look like the home to a new fireplace? 

So we got started on framing out the closets. And by started, I mean these pictures worth of progress and 2 scary rides home from lowes in a Tahoe with wood sticking out the back and string holding the lift gate down. Is that even legal!? Anxiety through the lift gate roof I tell ya. 

Basically, I feel like this week we moved like snails. And since we're keeping it real... I thought it was fitting to show you how un-progressed the bedroom portion is looking. Yep, you can make a dust angel.

Does anybody in the neighborhood need to borrow a tool!? What about a paper shade? 

We're crossing our toes and our arms that next week we have these closets mostly framed and on their way to something you can walk in without tracking dust throughout the house. Dust this severe gives me a serious case of the eye rolls. Thanks mom and dad for the shop vac! See ya next week, friends!
