Fall ORC Week 2: The Plan

One Room Challenge Fall 2019 Week 2

My first week of of the One Room Challenge is always getting a plan. I have spent the entire week pulling together a look for my pre teen boys room. Here are the details:

This room will be a mix of using what I have and buying things new…. or new to me. Lets start with the items I have ordered this week.

Good ole Ikea is coming to the rescue with an affordable loft bed. It gets great reviews. The only thing I don’t like is the gray fabric. Maybe its not that bad in person. It might be a small hack I might try…..

I have been wanting to find a space for this rug for some time. I love it. My son’s blue dreams have come true… but its kind of a grown up blue. Don’t worry, I will be adding blue in other ways to the room.

I am going to attempt my first install of removable wall paper. I actually cannot wait. The reviews say its wipeable which is much better than the dirty white walls from his feet.

These type of items are usually not my jam but I have a kiddo that likes to be creative and I don’t think he always needs to be sitting at a desk.

It might be too visually bulky with everything else in the room I just thought it actually might be a nice thing for him storage wise and color wise.

My other thought, to create function and avoid bulk is a clear acrylic table.

I am going to be adding some seriously needed function to my son’s closet with this narrow Pax Wardrobe. It will be packed out with shelves and drawers. I wont put doors on it but I will put lots of storage.

Okay UPS delivery man hurry quick! I am not buying everything online. I am going to look local for a bean bag chair and other fun pieces. These are the pieces that are bigger and will take up the bigger part of the budget so I needed to get them ordered.

Next week we will begin beefing up those built ins!
