One Room Challenge Kickoff!!!
Heeeeeeey friends! I'm SO excited to be bringing back the One Room Challenge to coco+kelley for my second time around!! You might remember that the last round had me tackling our first room in the house right after moving in with my boyfriend. It was a lesson in compromise and merging styles. Which was a fun challenge and all, but this time I'm getting to do a room all my own...
If you want a full look at the room, you can see a previous post here when I painted it for the first time. Yes, we're now painting it BACK to a neutral. No, I wasn't super happy about that, but I did have fun doing it! (If you saw my snapchat, you know what I'm talking about!)
And what's it going to be, you ask? Well... see, I have a lot of clothes. And shoes. And hats. And our bedroom? It has storage the size of a small coat closet (no exaggerating) and that's just not working for me. So, this is going to be MY CLOSET! And I have six short weeks to do it in.
There are a LOT of things to plan here. Some practical (where will the clothes hang and the shoes be stored?), but first - we start with the inspiration! At first, I thought I wanted to go really peach or pink on the walls - after all this is my one girly space in the house...
And I loved the vibe of this room. Lots of tone on tone, a great mix of textures, and feminine without being overly girly. But then I decided one really important thing. I wanted wallpaper.
Once I decided that, I knew that the color scheme would really be up to whatever paper I chose. I narrowed things down to these four, and - let me tell ya - it was a tough decision. I knew a few things - that the wallpaper had to be light, and had to be something that I would love for a long time. And, honestly? Turning down two Fornasetti designs was the hardest decision ever, but in the end, I went with this gorgeous organic pattern from Portland design house makelike... and it set the tone for the rest of the room!
wallpaper | ceiling light | farrow & ball paint | wall sconce | walnut and brass storage | mirror | dresser | chaise
So far - this is the plan. The wallpaper has these awesome hits of aqua and yellow in it, and I'm using that to add a little kick to the space. Everything else will be floaty and neutral. Because it's an attic, I didn't want to go with anything too traditional in here - it would start to feel grandma real fast. So most of my selections are simple but modern.
What do you think so far? I think the biggest challenge for me is going to be figuring out storage, doing things on somewhat of a budget (where to splurge and where to save!) and dealing with the fact that this is an attic space (low ceilings!). But I'm REALLY excited to have a room like this in the house that will be my own little escape!
Of course, the best part of the ORC is following along with what all the other fantastic designers and bloggers are doing, so don't forgot to bounce over to everyone's post today to check out their projects! It's an awesome group this time (as always!)

I can’t tell you how much I love the colorway for this room! It’s so soft and sophisticated. And I loved seeing the sneak peek of your wallpaper on Snapchat – it’s beautiful!
oooooh! i’m so excited to follow along with this!
Looooveee! Your color pallet! Your first inspiration image is to die for! Can’t wait to see more from you!!
Lord I would love to have a space like that to dress up in! All girly and everything. Yes please to everything you have picked out so far!
LOVE IT! The wallpaper is to die for. Amazing. Can’t wait to see your space evolve over the weeks.

Wowza! Love everything you have picked! This is going to look stunning!
Love the wallpaper and your plan! Wish I had a space like that!
Oh my envy is sky high. What a dream. Can’t wait to see this unfold.
A dressing room!!!! So exciting, this is going to be FUN!!
This is going to be an amazing dressing room. All that space, just for you! Enjoy!
Obsessed! Love. Love. Love. Those lighting fixtures are PERFECT.
That’s the wallpaper I was immediately drawn to — GORGEOUS!! This is going to be absolutely breathtaking!
Having a whole room closet is sooooo living the dream and that plan of yours is nothing short of insane…obsessed with that paper!!!
Right?? I never thought I’d be so lucky! We just happen to have this little attic room going unused at the moment… 🙂 Thanks lady, I can’t wait to see you work your magic too!
Can’t wait to see the result! The plan already looks beyond fab Cassandra xo
A dressing room! One can only dream. How exciting. Love your inspiration and where this is going. And happy to be doing another round with you!
This room is going to be beauty! Cannot wait to see the transformation.
What a fun space for you! I once had a dressing room but never finished it proper. Now it’s my BF’s instead. How did that happen?!
Love your paper. It’s going to be so pretty!
I don’t know about anyone else but I am ready to move in already! Your ideas are stunning! You had me at yellow! hehe
Oh, this is going to be one of my favorites to follow! I’m knocking all the existing shelves out of our walk-in master closet and starting over this round, so it will be great to compare ideas.
Your last ORC room came together so well, but it will be fun to do a room just for you. A big closet of your own is such a luxury- you will love it!
I have teeny, tiny closets in my house and not many of them at that – I’m going to live vicariously through you and your dressing room! It’s such a pretty plan. My favourite of the four wallpaper choices is the floral with little hidden keys (so cute!) but I like that you chose one that you can pull colours out of to accent the space. Can’t wait to follow along with your challenge! For my own ORC, I’m giving my kitchen a makeover. Not a major reno, just a few cosmetic touches.

This looks like it’s going to be a stunning room! Can’t wait to see how it comes out.
OMG!!! A dress room sounds so luxurious! I can not wait to see it all come together!!! I will happily be following along and am so excited to share this round with you! xo, Paige
There are few things that I love more than a good girly dressing room-I know I’m going to fall hard for this one – your space and inspiration board are all looking so promising! xx
