One Room Challenge: Our Top NINE!

The-English-Room-4

What is the One Room Challenge?

We all get by with a little help from our friends, right? There’s nothing like a good challenge between friends and colleagues to provide that extra bit of motivation. In the design community this motivation has come in the form of the One Room Challenge, started in 2011 by Linda Weinstein, this bi-annual event showcases 20 selected designers and invites guest participants from the online community to share their finished room from beginning to completion over a 6 week time period. We love this idea so much that we had to share some of our favorite rooms! So in no certain order, here are just some of our fave picks.

 

The English Room

The English Room 5
Reading this- will anyone doubt my love for color? Holly has just paired it all so perfectly.
The English Room 3
This all would fit right into my own home!
The English Room 2
Noting the shared fondness for big coffee table books!

Linda did an incredible job at the Boston Design Center!
Linda Holt
Love that she mixed up sofas and did not match- in a room with lofty ceiling this is easier to do than in a smaller closed in space.
Linds Holt 3
A gallery wall works in any home in my opinion!
Linds Holt 5
The fine mix of colors is simply fabulous. Truly bravo for her work here!

Perfect photo- wonder if she will let me just print and hang on my wall? It is that pretty!

The Painted House

Pop art and an eclectic mix of textures. This is speaking my language!

Who needs to travel when you’ve got this place to land?

Paint can add drama to even the most mundane of rooms. We love the ceiling treatment!

You know me, I’m all about the details. These knobs are fab!

the subtle pattern on the side table is great against the bold pattern of the window treatments
