I can’t believe its that time again! The Fall 2017 One Room Challenge officially starts today. I am super pumped to take on this 6 week challenge with Amanda Louise of Amanda Louise Interiors. Her love for bright colors and bold patterns has me excited for whats to come. Believe me my friends, this room is about to get the hook up once Amanda Louise gets a hold of it!
This season we have decided to take on our open air back porch that sits off the kitchen and living area of our house. This “room” is our happy place where Ryan loves to watch golf and we pound grapes (aka our favorite bottle of Caymus) while he grills on the Big Green Egg. It’s the perfect spot for hosting and our goal is to make it more cozy by bringing in warm textures, adding more sitting room for guests and throwing some color around to make it the happiest spot to hosts our family and friends.
For the next five weeks we will be sharing each step of our transformation every Thursday by bringing in lots of patterns, textures and color to make it more inviting. Β I participated last fall (see my Dining Room Final Reveal ) and the idea if doing it again definitely made me a little nervous because all of the hard work and time that goes into it, but once I met with Amanda Louise and got our game plan in place we were ready to show this room some love. If you take a look at the photos above you will see that we are basically starting with a blank canvas so we have lots of work ahead of us. There are always road blocks along the way, so keep your fingers crossed that everything arrives in time for the final reveal! Take a peek at our mood board that I’m totally crushing on below so that you can get an idea of what we have in mind. I don’t want to give too much away so make sure to follow along on Instagram where we will add updates to our stories and our feeds. And head over to Amanda Louise’s blog to get a peek at her take for the challenge!
Be sure to follow along with theΒ Β One Room Challenge Featured DesignersΒ as well as the Guest Bloggers this season.
Make sure to follow along each Thursday so you can see the progress along the way!

I love the idea of making your porch cozy with textiles and art for Fall Entertaining! We’re in this one together – I’m focusing on our living room this round. I’ll be checking back to see how your design is coming along. Good luck to you!
Thank you so much, Erin! I am so excited as we spend so much time on our porch! I can’t wait to see your living room transformation. Headed to check it out now!

Thank you so much, Justynn! We are so excited for the ORC this season π
