Design Contest Winner Update: A Room in Transition

Pin It Now! Remember Kim? She won the online Design Contest back in January. Curious how things are going? I checked in with her yesterday to get the scoop.

As you might recall, Kim needed major help with this room:

A little bit of office, a little bit of playroom, a little bit of storage, and a whole lotta ugly wallpaper!

Here's the inspiration board I created for her, based on a lot of items she sent to me via email:

And here's the floor plan:

Back in April I shared some images of the progress (click here to read previous post), but that was before the wallpaper came down and the paint went up. The room is still in transition, but it's getting there! I gave her a few color options  -without seeing the space in person, which is a little scary for me - and she went with Silhouette by Benjamin Moore. (Yes, this is the same paint color in my hallway that I mentioned yesterday!) It's a beautifully deep and warm charcoal gray.

Kim's Goodwill find finds a new home!

Kim and her hubby still have some work to do. There is a settee that needs to be painted and reupholstered, and the room would benefit from some new window treatments and additional artwork. As I've mentioned, it's a room in transition.  But it's certainly come a long way from its humble beginnings and I think she deserves a big round of applause for everything she has accomplished so far!

Thanks for sharing your photos, Kim!
