ONE ROOM CHALLENGE- PAINTING PARTY {WEEK 3}

Goodness, these weeks go by quickly!  I really didn't think this One Room Challenge room makeover was going to be a huge project... nothing super detailed and intricate to do, but boy is it starting to snowball on me!  This week was full of painting and here's where we are at Week 3...

*I was in a rush and snapped this week's photos quickly on my phone, so forgive the poor quality.  You get the idea, though!

If you're joining me for the first time today, welcome!  You can catch up on Week 1 (Before Photos) here, and Week 2 (Design Plan) here.  

This week our big accomplishment was getting the walls painted.  The ceiling needed to be done also, so we picked up a few gallons of Simply White (Benjamin Moore but we got it mixed in Behr)- flat for the ceiling and satin for the walls.  

These photos aren't a good representation, but the room is so fresh and bright now!  Although it is stark... I'm definitely ready to get some pieces and color added in.  We took out the armoire a little while ago and set up her desk in it's place, so she's already been enjoying using that for her schoolwork.

I've said it before, but the ORC is always a joint family effort around here.  Some were happier to help than others.  :)

I mentioned previously that we needed to keep a ceiling fan but were replacing the old one.  I bought this fan and decided to paint the base gold.   The past week has been super windy here so my sweet friend Denise let me borrow her spray shelter to use in the garage.  I just sprayed all of the base parts with my favorite gold spray paint before we assembled it.

The ceiling paint was finished, but while waiting for the first coat of wall paint to dry my husband took the opportunity to teach my son about wiring light fixtures.  Some girl will be happy he knows how to do that some day!

I'm really pleased with how this turned out!  I love the low profile dome light rather than individual globes, and there's an LED light inside that is completely dimmable which is a nice feature.

So, here's the punch list, although I know there are many little things to do that aren't even list worthy but will add up.  My project for today is to get the curtains made and hung.  I still haven't decided what color I'm going to paint the rod.  Several of you suggested a lucite rod which I think would be awesome, I'm just trying to use what I already have as much as possible on this makeover!
