One Room Challenge - Week 3

Here we are half way through the One Room Challenge and I am feeling somewhat accomplished. For a refresher on the project, click here. Last week, we had rainy day after rainy day so my plan to paint the dressers did not pan out. I am hoping to get that complete by next week. I did make a bunch of progress in the artwork department. First up....

Last spring, my mom and I had a huge yard sale to get rid of some of the items we hoard. (Side note...do you know I sold some stuff at the yard sale that I still think about and wish I had! Crazy, yes!). Well this painting did not sell and for some reason I couldn't let it go to Goodwill. So up to the attic it went. 

The artwork is no good but the frame has potential. After a quick search on Pinterest, I discovered that Rust-oleum Metallic is the most popular gold finish spray paint so I went with that for the frame. And it is truly awesome! It covered really well and I love the look. Now in terms of finding artwork for the frame, I considered wallpaper but was having a hard time finding remnant pieces. So I then thought maybe a heavy gift wrap with a neat print. I search Google and found Papersource.com. They have great gift wrap prints and a lot of single pages. But after putting everything in my cart, I discovered shipping was outrageous so I found the same gift wrap on eBay. I paid a little less than $8 for this print. 

I decided to use spray adhesive and attach it on top of the existing mat. Custom mats are so expensive, I didn't want to spend the money on it. I am really happy with how it turned out. 

I got so excited about the Rust-Oleum Metallic spray paint, that I ripped my floral prints off the wall and painted those also! Even happier with that change.

So while I had the paint out, I went for the pulls on the dressers. 

I also have almost completed my gallery wall. Here is a sneak peak...

The top picture is an old yard sale find and the bottom was a $4 score from The Love of Jesus Thrift. 

Oh and I found this cool round ball from Goodwill Second Debut for $6.25. So excited about it and we had it in the house less than an hour and Clyde broke it! Womp, womp. 

I am excited about how everything is coming together. Still on the hunt for bedding, I may have found a bed spread but it involves ransacking my sister's attic. Stay tuned.
