Quick back story for those of you who’ve never hear of, The One Room Challenge™! It is a bi-annual event and currently in its eighteenth season. In partnership with Better Homes & Gardens, many different design influencers participate to makeover one room or space over the course of 6 weeks and share their process.
This week we welcome an antique piece of furniture to our home. Welcome the new vanity desk!
A lovely desk that I traveled to LA…yes Los Angeles…and yes San Diego is near but we are a city that is 10-15 minutes from the Mexican boarder so it’s a bit of a drive…over 250 miles round trip to be exact. A.K.A. I’m Insane! Nonetheless when I saw the desk I was sold I had to have it. So pretty antique, French, and in need of work…meaning cheap. SOLD at $125.
Plus the desk on my mood board as gorgeous as it was, it was also $450 and in the U.K. Ugh! Which means not in budget.
Oh work indeed I would do and now think to myself which is worse smoothing textured walls or removing wood finish on antique intricate furniture?! Hmmm. Thankfully my mom came to visit and help me out BIG TIME! Love you Mom! We tackled the desk and did multiple coats of striper and then sanded it down to get it to the natural wood. Bleach, a matte poly to protect, and a polish of the brass hardware and I have a gorgeous vanity desk for our bedroom!
I found on Offer Up a wall mirror. For $50! It is definitely a lot smaller then our current oversized mirror but it’s perfect for the design and look I’m going for. And gathered and dried pampas grass, from down the road, for one of the corners of the room.
I mentioned before I wanted to switch out the hardware on the nightstands to brass. Well didn’t know how EXPENSIVE hardware can be! Eeek. It okay if you need four or so handles but I need 18!!! Scoured the internet for a couple of days and finally found these beauties at discounthomefurnishings.com for only $0.95 each! Total $24.72 with tax SCORE!
Subtle I know but it really makes a huge difference in person. Last but not least for this week I got the rug! The beautiful Loloi II Layla Collection in Ocean/Rust. I got the 8’ x 10’ perfect for a Queen bed.
That’s it for now. I’m coming down to the wire and really not sure if I’ll finish in time. Join me next week for the full reveal!!!! So super excited, I can’t wait to be done!
