Thank you to At Home for partnering with me to bring you this inspiration space. As always, thoughts and opinions are 100% mine. Thank you for supporting those that make My Life From Home possible! See full disclosure, here.
If you are just hopping in now, welcome! I have joined Linda from Calling it Home as a guest participant in the bi-annual One Room Challenge. It is now week 4 of 6, so we are getting down to the wire (insert scared emoji). Have you ever gotten into a project and then halfway through decided to start adding things to your list? Well, that’s exactly what I did this week. Ugh. Once I get an idea, the problem with ignoring my inner self is that I will constantly be thinking about it until I just go and do it, so I might as well not stress about it and just get it done. This week, I decided on a whim to paint the ceiling. Yep, I have never painted a ceiling so that was a new experience. I was so in love with my painted dresser, that it just seemed like a waste to not use that paint somewhere else! I might say it was the best design decision yet, but I will let you judge for yourself.

Some of the issues that need to be addressed through the challenge:
√1.New Wall Treatment: walls need to be updated to anchor the space
√2.Get rid of the bunk beds and instead, create a “couch” with twin beds.
√3.Find the perfect dresser for the space.
4.Reconfigure closet to create a desk space and storage.
5.New wall art and accessories for the room.
Week 4
I’m going to give you a sneak peek of that ceiling, but first I want to show you some of the amazing pieces I picked up from At Home for the new space. At Home is my go-to spot for anything and everything home. For this space, I was really looking for a chair, an end table, lamp, and accessories to make the room feel warm and comfortable. Plus I wanted to add that modern feel I was going for and pops of color.
I not only found a chair that worked perfectly for creating a reading nook in the corner, but I found an ottoman for in front of the beds that helps complete the lounge area. The colors are bright and modern, pulling all the elements in the room together beautifully.
A couple of throws for curling up on the bed and fun gold accessories happened their way into my cart as well. 🙂




I really want to save most of the space for the full reveal, but here is just a small snippet of the newly painted ceiling.

If you like the sort of recommendation that still holds up six months later, leave your email below and I'll write to you on Sunday.
Most Sundays, once the house has gone quiet and it's edging towards nine, a letter goes out. It's the one I'd write to a friend with good taste and not nearly enough time: one thing worth reading, one thing worth buying, and one thing to skip. No noise, no pressure to spend, just the considered version of what I've actually been using, loving, or quietly sending back.

I love the colors in the space! I need to check out our At Home store; the closet one is about 45 mins away, but I know it would be worth it!

Yes, Mary! They have a huge selection. You would love it!

You did a great job in painting the ceiling, love the color,did you have to use plastic shield for the sides or did you just cover the floor, last time I painted the ceiling I had to use all this plastic wrap everywhere so I would not splatter the side walls
It was hard. The colors and photographs are gorgeous.

No, surprisingly, it did not splatter at all. I taped the edges and held my breath, lol
