It’s getting down to the wire! I am ready to be done with this room and enjoy it. If you need to catch up, I’m taking part in a One Room Challenge Link Party from . We have 6 weeks to transform a room, sharing our progress as we go!

The nightstands are staying for now until I find something I love. I did pass up these beauties the other week, the top was laminate and I worried it might be too much work to fix, plus the drawers were broken but they were only $25 each.
This also happened…….glimpses of the not quite finished room! Next week is the reveal and hopefully I get it all done. There are things like buttons for the headboard that need to be finished along with a list of stuff I don’t want to think about right now. So just enjoy this collage and come back next week!
