The feeling is similar to when you plan and anticipate a vacation for what feels like forever, then it seems to happen in the blink of an eye.

Its been a whirlwind week participating in my first One Room Challenge! Although I don't have much physical progress to show you, I've made a few decisions, narrowed down a few choices, and finalized some design elements, and I'm here to share my bedroom design ideas with you today! To recap, I chose to focus on my primary bedroom design for this One Room Challenge (you can read my week 1 post here). This room was previously our 4 and 6 year olds' room so its basically a blank slate. I plan to reuse our metal headboard and the curtains,…
