Now I know why this is called the One Room Challenge…because it is truly a challenge to pull off a room just the way you planned it in only six weeks. Particularly when you have two other magazine shoots happening at the house this week!
Some of the items that we need to complete the room, in particular my new bed design, will sadly not be here in time. The bedroom will be literally wallpapered right before we shoot it!
The one exciting thing is our very first Greek key wallpaper for Jill Sorensen Lifestyle was installed in the bathroom and it’s a statement.
I wanted a black and white bathroom and if you ask you shall receive…
Black and white all over it is!
We didn’t have the same luck with our new Arches wallpaper in Beige. Our first sample batch arrived a bit too red. Just enough off so that it won’t work in the room.
It has to blend with the beige wall and a chair waiting to be upholstered in this yellow fabric from Decorators Best.
It also has to work with this yellow and white fabric from Minted that we finally received this morning. Big thanks to Minnie’s Creations for hurrying up and doing the draperies for me. Also a big thank You to Emily for working so hard in getting our wallpapers ready. I’m very excited to get the right hue and get this place wallpapered this week.
Some other goodies arrived as well…
A stunning Greek Key mirror from Basset Mirror Company midcentury modern tripod lamp from Bellacor. Both items perfect for Empire as well as glam and midcentury. I also got a faux banana leaf plant.

Have a look at what the rest of the makeover team is up to. Hopefully they’ve had an easier go at it! 🙂
Wallpaper of my dreams! And I cannot handle those fixtures. Tick tock till next week…cannot wait to see! xx
Your bathroom is insanely gorgeous Jill! Cannot wait for your reveal!!
The wallpaper looks fantastic! I am a huge fan of a black and white bathroom so your design is right up my alley. Looking forward to seeing more!
Cheers!

That Arches wallpaper makes my art deco lovin' heart so happy! Can't wait to see the full space next week!
I really like black and white combination, also a big fan of DIY renovations. Renovation its not only a great hobby but it also saves money. There are a lot of online resources to start with http://www.drillselect.com/forum for example.
Love it all! The reveal will be amazing!! Wherever did you find the faux banana leaf plant? It's gorgeous!
Love the black and white wallpaper…and those black beams! Could not even tell that the banana plant wasn't real!
It's coming along so beautifully. The b&w wallpaper is amazing!
Can't wait to see the final reveal tomorrow!

This room submit is clearly tremendous, the noise pleasant and the picture first-rate of this tape put up is virtually top notch.
