One Room Challenge: Week Two

This week is all about the LIGHT! This morning we had a local electrician come out and install an overhead light fixture in our ORC room. When we bought this house last year, the main living spaces didn’t have overhead lighting - so we rocked the lamps for a while. I still love lamps, but it sure will be nice to have an overhead light (for both style and functionality). Typically I would install a light myself- however, since there is no existing overhead lighting, we hired a professional to cut into the walls and connect the wiring. Let’s hope I don't have to do too much drywall patching!!!

So… what light did I choose?

I have been hoarding a gorgeous chandelier from Sazerac Stitches for a few years now. I never had the perfect spot for it, but I couldn’t let her go! So thankful that I held on to her!

What else has been happening?

The sofa I ordered is scheduled for delivery this week as well, and I cannot wait to see it in person. I also found a couple of chairs for seating to go opposite the sofa, and paint swatches came in!

What happens next?

I am lucky enough to work with an incredible paint company on this project, and I cannot wait to share more on the paint color selection process in the coming weeks!

I want to personally thank each and every one of you for following along on this journey- I know there are tons of ORC projects happening and I cannot wait to check out all of the others! If you have a favorite participant, drop their name below so I can cheer them on too! See you next week!

UPDATE: Well… the chandelier won’t be installed today unfortunately. There was a shipping delay in the canopy needed to hang the light, so we have to wait on that!
