I can't believe this is the D-Day and time for the big reveal!
Je n'arrive pas à croire que c'est déjà le jour J et qu'il est temps de dévoiler les pièces !
But before that, I would like once again to thank Linda from Calling it Home for organising the One Room Challenge. This 6 weeks room makeover is such a great opportunity to discover other bloggers, share our projects and obviously to be inspired by all those talented people. It's the second time I take part in this crazy challenge and although it can be stressful I still think it's so exciting, without mentioning that it actually forces to finally finish a room. Or maybe should I say it gives you the motivation to finish a room, because sometimes you just can't make it because believe me 6 weeks fly by when you already have a busy life! By the way, if you missed an episode of this Fall 2016 ORC and want to know what happened you still can catch up ;)
Week 1 "Project Bedroom & Closet"
Week 2 "Bedroom & Closet Plan"
Week 3 "Back to Black"
Week 4 "Crazy Last Minute Changes"
Week 5 "A Wonder of a Wallpaper"
When I took part in this ORC I didn't really have any plans for my bedroom and closet but the most important thing was to organise the things around here. I wanted something dark and moody since I was obsessed with Ellie Cashman's Dark Floral wallpaper. As I already said, it was a crazy challenge with a crazy last minute change in the plan and unfortunately the rooms are not complete yet. I didn't have the time to finish some DIY projects, no time (and budget) for the closet wallpaper, I still have a few things to hang on the wall and some decorative items to buy. I would say that it's 80% complete and I am still proud of what I did so far. And this is part of the game, the challenge is over now so it was time to shoot the pictures and share with you the reveal.
Here are a few before pictures so you can remember how it started a few weeks ago.
Mais avant ça, je voudrais encore une fois remercier Linda de Calling it Home d'organiser le One Room Challenge. Cette transformation de pièce en 6 semaines est une belle opportunité de découvrir d'autre blogueuses, partager nos projets et bien évidemment d'être inspirée par toutes ces personnes talentueuses. C'est la seconde fois que je participe à ce challenge fou de 6 semaines et même si cela peut être stressant je pense tout même que c'est vraiment excitant, sans oublier le fait que cela vous force à enfin finir une pièce. Ou peut-être devrais-je dire que cela nous donne la motivation de terminer une pièce, puisqu'il peut arriver parfois que l'on échoue car croyez-moi 6 semaines ça passe très vite quand on a déjà une vie bien chargée ! Au fait, si vous avez manqué une épisode de cet ORC Automne 2016 et que vous vouliez savoir ce qui s'est passé vous pouvez toujours vous rattraper ;)
Week 1 "Project Bedroom & Closet"
Week 2 "Bedroom & Closet Plan"
Week 3 "Back to Black"
Week 4 "Crazy Last Minute Changes"
Week 5 "A Wonder of a Wallpaper"
Quand j'ai commencé cet ORC je n'avais pas de plan précis pour la chambre et le dressing mais la chose la plus importante était d'organiser les lieux. Je voulais créer une ambiance sombre car j'étais obsédée par le papier peint Dark Floral d'Ellie Cashman. Comme je l'ai déjà dit, c'était un défi fou avec un changement fou de plan à la dernière minute et malheureusement les pièces ne sont toujours pas terminées. Je n'ai pas eu le temps de finir certains de mes DIY, je n'ai pas eu le temps (et l'argent) pour le papier peint du dressing, j'ai encore des choses à accrocher aux murs et quelques objets de déco à acheter. Je dirais que c'est terminé à 80% et je suis fière de ce que j'ai pu accomplir jusqu'ici. Et cela fait partie du jeu, le défi est maintenant terminé, il était donc temps de prendre les photos et vous dévoiler la transformation.
Voici quelques photos d'avant afin que vous puissiez vous souvenir comment tout a commencé il y a quelques semaines auparavant.
And here is the bedroom today. This is my wonderland and I love it!
Et voici la chambre aujourd'hui. C'est mon pays des merveilles et je l'adore !
I am so happy I finally decided to go for that wonderful wallpaper! It literally makes the room.
Je suis contente d'avoir finalement décidé de prendre ce merveilleux papier peint ! C'est l'élément phare de la pièce.
I bought this gorgeous dark green velvet fabric to make curtains. The shade is similar to the leaves on the wallpaper and it is so soft and thick, perfect for winter. And if you noticed, between the chest of drawers and the curtains there should be a ugly radiator. But it's completely invisible thanks to the DIY I showed last week!
J'ai acheté ce superbe tissu en velours vert foncé pour en faire des rideaux. Le ton est semblable à celui des feuilles du papier peint et il est si doux et épais, parfait pour l'hiver. Et si vous avez remarqué, entre la commode et les rideaux il devrait y avoir un radiateur assez laid. Mais il est totalement invisible grâce au DIY que je vous ai montré la semaine dernière !
I was planning to put a round large mirror above the chest of drawers but now that I have this beautiful wallpaper I didn't want to hide it or ruin it with holes. So I decided to hang my old oversized round mirror on another wall instead.
J'avais prévu de mettre un grand miroir rond au-dessus de la commode mais maintenant que j'ai ce beau papier peint je ne voulais pas le cacher ou l'abîmer avec des trous. Alors à la place j'ai décidé de mettre mon ancien très grand miroir rond sur un autre mur.
Here is my home office space. So glad I finally have a comfortable space to work on the blog.
Voici mon espace bureau. Ravie d'avoir enfin un espace de travail confortable pour travailler sur le blog.
Love the white fireplace with the white walls!
J'aime la cheminée blanche avec les murs noirs !
And finally the closet. It's definitely not complete but at least now everything is organised! No more mess everywhere, boxes and big bags full of anything. A clean closet with storage space for everything.
Et enfin le dressing. Il n'est pas du tout fini mais au moins maintenant tout est organisé ! Plus de désordre, de cartons et de grand sacs rempli de tout et rien. Un placard propre avec des rangements pour chaque chose.
All my shoes fit in those Ikea kitchen cabinets.
Toutes mes chaussures tiennent dans ces meubles de cuisine Ikea.
And even have a space for some clutches, my leather gloves and other accessories.
Et j'ai même un espace pour quelques pochettes, mes gants en cuir et autres accessoires.
So that's it! I finally have a lovely room and can wake up every morning surrounded with flowers instead of mess! And this is the reason why I love the ORC because I think that without that I would have never found the time and motivation to do this room. So thank you so much Linda for making all this happen!
As I said, there are still a few things to complete the rooms so I will obviously keep you updated and share with you all my other DIY soon! In the meantime, you should definitely have a look at all the reveals of those amazing ORC makeover and ORC Guest Participants. I am sure you will love it and it will inspire you for your own projects!
XO
Et voilà ! J'ai enfin une jolie chambre et je me réveille chaque matin entourée de fleurs et non plus de désordre ! Et c'est la raison pour laquelle j'aime l'ORC car je pense que sans ça je n'aurais jamais trouvé le temps et la motivation de faire cette pièce. Alors un grand merci à Linda pour rendre tout cela possible !
Comme je l'ai dit, il y a encore pas mal de petites choses à faire ici pour terminer les pièces alors je partagerai bien entendu tout ça avec vous, ainsi que mes DIY, très bientôt ! En attendant, vous devriez vraiment aller jeter un oeil à toutes les incroyables transformations de pièces de l'ORC et de l'ORC Guest Participants. je suis certaine que vous allez aimer et que cela vous inspirera pour vos propres projets !

C’est superbe, vraiment superbe. Cela doit être bien agréable de s’endormir dans une chambre pareille.
J’espère qu’on n’attendra pas le prochain challenge pour avoir d’autres posts, toujours intéressants !
J’ai voulu épingler sur pinterest, mais pas trouvé l’icône … suis peut être pas encore bien réveillée
10 novembre 2016 - 13 h 49 min
Merci beaucoup Véronique! Effectivement très agréable de s’y endormir et encore plus de s’y réveiller !
Promis je vais tout faire pour être plus assidue dans mes post quitte à mettre ma petite puce en cage (je plaisante bien évidemment !)
J’ai déjà pas mal de posts en attente mais c’est vrai que parfois je voudrais que les journées aient plus d’heures pour pouvoir tout faire… En tout cas, pas de soucis il ne faudra pas attendre le prochain ORC :)
Vraiment ravie que la chambre te plaise en tout cas :)
P.S : as-tu réussi à trouver l’icône pinterest ? Cela fonctionne bien sur mon ordi donc je ne sais pas d’où peut venir le problème…
13 novembre 2016 - 14 h 59 min
Pas trouvé l’icône, même en passant sur toutes les images. Mais je suis passée par ton pinterest pour l’épingler
Bon dimanche !

What a fabulous transformation. The wallpaper is really the star of the show, but I love the flokati, the furniture and that chandelier… divine.
Congratulations.

10 novembre 2016 - 19 h 16 min
Thank you Sueli! Yes the Dark Floral wallpaper is the star and totally makes the room!
The bedroom would be completely different without it and even a little boring maybe.
Anyway, happy that you like the makeover :)
10 novembre 2016 - 15 h 02 min
Well, it doesn’t look unfinished at all! It’s a gorgeous space - so cosy and luxe. That wallpaper is everything!

I woke up last night to link up really quick, but before I dragged myself back to bed, I saw your post. Because I was half asleep, I can’t remember if I commented already or not…but this room is the bomb dot com!
10 novembre 2016 - 19 h 13 min
Thank you so much Kyla!!! So nice of you :)
Happy that you like it. I think we have the same decor taste darling as I am totally in love with your makeover! That wallpaper, the cement tiles… Just gorgeous!
10 novembre 2016 - 19 h 45 min
Nadia,
I love your beautiful romantic bedroom! The contrast with the white is amazing and the wallpaper is fabulous! Just Gorgeous Glam! Tell me, what white paint did you use? It’s sooo white!

Jeannee,
So happy you like it! The weird thing is that I didn’t really want to create a romantic bedroom but that wallpaper really makes the room and takes it to another level! Now the room is glamorous and romantic at the same time :)
And to answer to your question, the white paint is just the basical wall and ceiling Dulux paint. I think it looks so white because of the contrast with the black walls.
10 novembre 2016 - 20 h 42 min
this bedroom is a dream! wow! i love the mix- it’s all so modern and romantic at the same time. and that wall. WOW.
11 novembre 2016 - 12 h 11 min
Thanks Cassie! When I read a WOW in a comment it already makes my day but 2 wow really makes me WOW!!!
Thanks again and happy you like it :)
10 novembre 2016 - 21 h 54 min

11 novembre 2016 - 12 h 09 min
Thank you so much Jen!
I wanted a bit of glamour in that room and think the black, gold and flowers are the perfect mix for that :)
Anyway, so glad you like it!

Your ORC stopped me in my tracks! Just had to let you know. That wallpaper mixed with that white dresser with the gold and that rug. All of it is just perfection!
11 novembre 2016 - 12 h 07 min
Wow Carissa! So sweet of you :)
Happy you like it!
11 novembre 2016 - 6 h 46 min
This is GOOD! I love how you did not just put the wallpaper up and stop. I like that you accented it with black and created « the setting » in color, texture, and finishes. Love it!
11 novembre 2016 - 12 h 06 min
Thanks Jessica!!! So glad you love it!
When I saw your black fireplace during the last ORC I knew I had to paint mine black :)
And I ended painting everything black and then that gorgeous wallpaper…
Anyway, thanks for inspiring me!
11 novembre 2016 - 16 h 46 min
Oh my goodness! I am so wildly obsessed with your room and your style! Absolutely stunning! I also have a brass bed frame, and my dresser is a mod vintage piece that is white with gold/brass trim! That light fixture is what dreams are made of!
11 novembre 2016 - 18 h 29 min
OMG Thanks Brynne :)
So many nice words in one comment!!! You just made me blush!
The light fixture is a vintage ebay find, a real bargain but it took me 2 days to clean it!!!
Now it looks like new and it’s so beautiful!
Happy that you like my new room:)

I’m late returning for the reveal, however, your room is stunning! I can’t tell you how much I love the wallpaper, the dark walls, the velvet curtains and the dresser, etc. Wish you could come and help me! :)
The room is just so cozy and feminine.

I have just stumbled across your site and this post in particular, and oh.my.gosh. My girlie heart is beating so fast right now!! With a husband and two sons in the house, I don’t know where I could pull that off - but it makes me ache for a space to do that - it is drop dead, stunningly, beautifully, amazingly gorgeous! The pink… the gold… that wallpaper!! I can’t say enough. Simply.Amazing. (And reading all posts to source any items possible in case I get the chance someday!)
23 décembre 2016 - 19 h 10 min
Thank you so much Heather for all those sweet words!!! I just can’t tell enough how it makes my day when I read such amazingly nice things!
So happy you like my new bedroom and I guess any girlie heart would die for that wallpaper ;)
I will definitely make a post to source any items I used in my floral room after holidays. I will forward you the link :)

I absolutely love this room - it is so beautiful. Which of the Ellie Cashman wallpapers is this please? I think it might be Dark Floral II Black Saturated XL (200%) Wallpaper but I just want to check before I buy some myself. Thanks for your help.
23 janvier 2017 - 9 h 59 min
Hi Charlotte,
So happy that you like my bedroom :)
The Ellie Cashman walllpaper I used is the Dark Floral II Black Saturated XL and believe me it’s even more beautiful in real!!!
Have a wonderful floral day!

Hi,
I came across your site while searching for posts from people who have used Ellie Cashman wallpapers. Your room is very lovely and, as several readers pointed out, the wallpaper is really a showstopper!
Did you hang the wallpaper yourself? If so, how challenging was it? Do you still love it today, or have you tired of it?
I have my fingers posed to hit « purchase » on the Dark Floral II Saturated (200 percent magnification). Problem is, I did not find this gorgeous wallpaper until I had already spent most of my decorating budget. I am willing to splurge for the wallpaper but I’d have to hang it myself. Professional quotes were between $1,400 and $3000.
Thanks,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,
Thank you so much for your message and I’m glad you liked the bedroom!
The Ellie Cashman wallpaper is just gorgeous and believe me even more beautiful in real life :)
If you didn’t order samples you definitely should as this literally convinced me to go for it!
I unfortunately moved to a new home so I can’t enjoy looking at it anymore but to answer your question I don’t think it’s the kind of wallpaper that you get tired of. It’s so beautiful, so many details, the colours…
I hung the wallpaper myself. I’ve always been a DIYer so it wasn’t the first time for me and it was really easy with this one as only paste the wall not the wallpaper. So the wallpaper is easier to put on the wall (it doesn’t become soggy so doesn’t tear off).
What they quoted you to hang it is honestly very expensive!!! So I would say give it a try, it’s not complicated at all believe me and if you have a friend to help, it will be even easier to apply each stripe perfectly.
I understand that sometimes people don’t dare to try, especially when it’s a pricey wallpaper, but you will never know if you can do it until you try. You can watch some tutorials maybe on youtube to make you feel a bit more confident about it :)
Hope this will help you…
Don’t hesitate to contact me if you have more questions
Have a wonderful day!
Nadia
