Welcome to week 3 of the One Room Challenge.  If you are new here and don't know what the One Room Challenge is- it is a 6 week blogger even where you make over a room in 6 weeks!  I am participating as a guest blogger along with tons of other bloggers.  Go here to see the rest of the participants!  You can also catch up on posts from Week One and Week Two to see my plans and progress.

So this past week I made some paint choices.  The wall are going to be Wimborne White by Farrow & Ball.  According to Farrow & Ball this is one shade away from pure white.  I typically go for crisp whites with not too much undertone but for this room my fabrics mainly had off white grounds so I needed something a bit warmer than a crisp white.

The doors in the room are going to be painted Hale Navy by Benjamin Moore.  All the doors in the downstairs areas of my house are painted in this color and we just haven't ever gotten around to carrying it upstairs so that will be done now.  My dining room is also painted this color and I love it.

I still have yet to pull the trigger on a rug.  I am going to have to do that this week for sure.  

I am also not yet set on art.  I have minimal wall space so I want to choose something that looks really great.  I picked up two antique architectural engraving at an antique shop over the weekend which I may use.  They need to be framed so I am going to use them I need to get them to the framer asap!  I might want something with a little more color though.  Decisions, decisions!

Oh and lighting!  Wow, writing this post is making me nervous!  I have a lot to decide on. I better get to work.......

Hope to see you next week for week 5 of the One Room Challenge.
