One Room Challenge Favorites – Fall 2014

Twice a year, Linda from Calling It Home hosts the very popular One Room Challenge, in which design bloggers makeover a room (from start to finish) in just 6 short weeks.  The makeover can be on a large scale, like gutting a kitchen, or a little smaller, like wallpapering a powder room.  Each designer picks his or her own space and shares the process with us.

One of the best things about the One Room Challenge is that YOU can participate too!  Each week of the Challenge, Linda hosts a link up for other readers, bloggers, and designers to share their progress on a room of their choosing.  (Maybe next year I’ll join in…I’m thinking the master closet or laundry room could already use a makeover!)

Last Wednesday, the 20 designers shared the final reveals of their rooms, and everyone is still picking their jaws up off the floor.  This challenge just gets better and better each time! And now, my favorites…

1. Design Manifest – Kitchen

This father-daughter duo knocked it out of the park!  If the rest of the room was terrible, I could get lost in that quartzite waterfall countertop and not even care.  Luckily, the rest of the room is stunning as well! This really was a huge transformation…take a look at the before shots!

2. Mimosa Lane – Walk In Closet

The closet of my dreams! Albertina is the queen of styling, and her room reveals never disappoint.  Her family room last year was definitely at the top of my list! I love how feminine yet functional this closet is. The gold molding, the light fixture, the rug…it all comes together so perfectly.

3. The Design Daredevil – Master Bedroom

If you want drama, this is your room! This room is so edgy, yet so inviting. I can’t get over the moldings or the built ins, and that chandelier.  I can’t even.  Every single piece in this room seems to play an important part in pulling it all together.

4. The Pink Pagoda – Foyer

I love this foyer makeover because it’s so achievable.  Some of the makeovers featured are gorgeous, but I know they would never work in my home. I feel like this foyer could be transplanted to just about any home and it would work.  Simple, sophisticated, and timeless. Oh, and I’m drooling over the new lantern.

5. Waiting On Martha – Home Office

How can you not be in love with this wallpaper?! Mandy started out with this wallpaper, but her furniture was dark and heavy.  I love how she’s lightened up the space with white furniture, ghost chairs, rugs and textiles.

Be sure to check out all of the rooms from start to finish.  These designers really are so so talented.

Which room was your favorite?  If you could give a room in your house a makeover, what room would it be?
