One Room Challenge – Urban Chic She Den

It’s time, it’s here! I’m so excited and exhausted all at the same time. 🙂 I’m talking about the One Room Challenge Hosted by Linda of Calling it Home and House Beautiful! Twice a year we as Bloggers get to participate in a 6-week makeover challenge. It’s an opportunity to push our creativity and work with some amazing sponsors. It’s your opportunity to be inspired by all the amazing DIY’s, Makeovers and more!

If you have followed me for a while you may have seen my previous One Room Challenge spaces. If not, you can view them here…ORC1, ORC2, ORC3. Each one different, each one made our home that much better and gave us a new space to enjoy!

So what’s on the agenda this time? I’ve got two words for you…SHE DEN! 🙂 What’s a She Den? It’s a She Shed, but indoors and with air condition. 😉 Living in Florida, it’s a necessity. I’m creating a space that my girls and I will use on a daily basis. It will be an office, a craft room, a music room and our escape with something for everyone!

How does that sound???

So we have 6 weeks to make this space over! I’m going to share some of my inspiration spaces with you. Each photo I’m sharing has a little bit of something that inspired this makeover!

Let me give you some background on the room I chose. Like many we have a formal dining room in our home…but also, like many, we never used it. We aren’t formal people, we like to gather and eat in the open kitchen/family room or on the back porch. After removing the dining room furniture it became a place for the piano and what we thought would be a fun game room. We even gave it a whimsical Modern Alice In Wonderland theme. In time though, since the room wasn’t being used much it just became my decor storage/hoarding room. It was the place I put all my new finds, treasures and collections, especially if I didn’t want Mr. BeesNBurlap to see it. 😉 Now don’t get me wrong it was useful because I need a space to store items for clients and styling projects but it was quickly becoming the prettiest, cluttered space EVER!  Be honest…do you have a space like that? Do you want to do more with it? That’s what I decided to do!!! Maybe my She Den will get you going!!!
