It’s finally here! Today is Week 6 of the One Room Challenge and the final reveal of our redesigned family room! Not gonna lie, this past six weeks wiped me – and way more than it really should have. I was totally prepared before the Challenge began, so in theory this project should have been a breeze. But…a few diy projects thrown into the mix mid-challenge became more of a challenge (and cost) than they were worth pursuing in the moment. So I opted to save my sanity and look for alternate options and back burner some of the projects for a later date. Sorry mid-century chairs, I’ll get you reupholstered by a pro. some day.
But enough of the words, let’s cut to the chase and just check out the completed space already!
This coffee table is the best (and easiest) DIY project I’ve ever done – and there for my favorite too! 
This throw blanket was a last minute find at Home goods and was the perfect fit for the space.
The design stars really aligned for me on this one!
A last-minute ‘quick’ 3 hour round trip to Milwaukee for these Craigslist chairs to replaced the doomed diy upholstery project I attempted with the mid-century chairs.
They actually work really well in the space, and for $100 each, it was a small price to pay to save my sanity.
Me and the boys!
The fireplace mantle still needs a little work, but I had a hard time finding just the right pieces for it.
Still on the hunt.
I’m totally in love with this circular log rack. One of my favorite parts of the room…total swoooooon!
Older pictures of the boys, but my favorite pictures of them…
Max loved the One Room Challenge too! 
To be honest, was a little nervous styling these shelves. I don’t like a lot of clutter and it was a lot of space to fill. I probably edited these things for 4 hours straight – and I still might make a few changes. Overall, they came out really well though- and also made the goose neck lights feel a little more to scale for the space (a week 3 struggle).
Overall, this challenge was rally good for me personally despite a little stress with deadlines and a few bumps in the road. It forced me to make some decision about the design of the space and move forward with getting it done, and reminded me to be realistic with my time and money too. I’m glad I took part, and I’m already contemplating what space I can do for the spring challenge. Giddy up!
First things first though, Now that this project is complete, I need to get moving with completing our basement bathroom project – which has been more like a six month challenge. No rest for the wicked I guess.
Thanks to Linda at Calling it Home for hosting the amazing One Room Challenge, and to you all for following along with me on this journey. If you need to catch up, you can see all the progress from start to finish here: Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5

the room looks beautiful, love those chairs!!
Thanks Madi! I totally lucked out on that find. Really not sure what I would have done otherwise!
Oh my gosh cristy! It turned out amazing! I love the mix of the gold and natural elements with the pops of black. It’s so beautiful. Those craiglaist chairs were totally worth the trip! Open shelves are so tricky but you styled them great! And you know I’m dying for that coffee table you made!
Thanks Colette – luckily my 5 year old was totally cool with a random trip to Milwaukee to get chairs (after I offered ice cream as an incentive of course). He was a trooper for the sake of good design!
Oh my goodness…LOVE IT! We have lots of similar taste and style. I love the coffee table and the blanket was a great last minute find. It’s those DIY projects that totally throw us, right?! Great job on your room. Enjoy your day. ~Sonya
Always great to find a style twin, Sonya! Enjoy your day as well!
The mix of color and texture is phenomenal!
Thanks Mysha!
oh this looks SO good! i love your lighting situation, and love the flag! such a cozy modern space.
Thanks Cassie! I know the flag (and placement) is a little different, but felt like going outside the box. 🙂
The textures – from the fuzzy fur to the spiky succulents!! This is a perfect marriage of colors!! Excellent job!
Thanks Jen! I try!
Are you Danish?
Hi Mette! No, not Danish. My ancestors were primarily Scandinavian however, so I’m sure it’s there somewhere in my lineage. But honestly, I just enjoyed the look of this flag.
I love this room! The textures are so warm and cozy! Those bamboo chairs are amazing!
Thanks Emy! I got sooooo lucky with those chairs. In a panic I jumped on Craigslist, found them in 5 minutes, and about an hour later was on the road to get them! The stars aligned for me that day for sure!
Oh Cristy, your home is gorgeous and this room looks really amazing! I’d like to think that you are a natural at what you do. Everything turned so beautiful although you mentioned some things did not work out as planned. We really can’t tell. The Craigslist find chairs added that extra touch – how amazing to find them on the last minute. Glad it all came together – I really love seeing your home!!
Thanks for the sweet words, Zan! This really made my day!
Oh this is so lovely! You did an amazing job and your styling is perfect. I absolutely love the way you decorated you bookcases – they look great. And you’re so right – that log holder is amazing. Nice work, Cristy!
Best,
Kelly
