We made it! It’s the reveal of our Living Room Makeover as part of the One Room Challenge! Going into this 6 week challenge, I thought this would be a piece of cake based on my plan from Week 1. We only had a couple of DIY projects planned but knew they would make a big impact! We had a few challenges along the way, including moving this huge DIY entertainment center into place and putting up a faux coffered ceiling for our DIY ceiling makeover. I hope you’ll click back through and see the progress of this room, but we all know what you are here for: PICTURES!
My little buddy is always camera ready 😉
I love that we were able to incorporate SO. MUCH. COLOR. into this room! That was one of my main objectives for the living room makeover and I think we succeeded 😉
I incorporated pieces from our travels into the decorating. The Calavera is from a trip to New Orleans and the little elephants are from Asia travels.
If you’ve followed along, you’ll remember the DIY coffee table and how it was a partial fail. We were able to save it by using some quality wood and this time around we decided to leave the wood unfinished. I love how it turned out!
I found this orange garden stool and it gave me the perfect place to incorporate a plant into the room. I believe every room should have at these one living thing (that isn’t human!)
Are you as obsessed with this rug as I am? When I found this amazing rug from NuLoom I knew I HAD to have it! It was perfect for our space and just the fun, colorful, and playful vibe I was going for in this space. It’s the right combination of colors, durable enough for a high traffic area, and DID YOU SEE THE TASSELS? if there was ever a rug meant for me – this is it!

that rug is such a showstopper and i love that you kept everything else light and clean so that it really stands out!
Thank you! The rug from nuLOOM is my absolute favorite part!
This looks fantastic! I love the colours and that rug! The entertainment unit is also pretty darn neat.
Thank you! The entertainment center was a beast to build but I love it!
This looks amazing, Amber! I love the bold colors you used. I feel like so many rooms are so neutral these days – this is so unique and I love it!
Thank you! I ain’t afraid of a little color 😉
I love this room and how everything is light and bright!

OMG, this room looks fabulous! what color of paint is on the walls?
Thanks, Laura! It’s called North Star (SW 6246) by Sherwin-Williams
I love all of the color! Including pieces that you’ve picked up while traveling is such a fun touch! The room looks great, but also looks like such a comfy place to relax.
Thank you! Hopefully had some more pieces soon 😉
What a beautiful and colourful room! That ceiling is gorgeous!
Thank you! That ceiling was a lot of work – but totally worth it!
I love all your colors!!! Such a great transformation!!!
So pretty, those ceilings are amazing!
Thank you so much for this! I had no idea that anything could be done about our boring old ceilings, but you have given me hope! And that rug……I am in love! What a beautiful, cheery room.
Thank you! Good luck!
