Week 5 of the One Room Challenge

---

Working on this banquette is a long process! Listen, I'm not gonna lie- I missed Week 3 and 4 of the ORC because life was LIFE-ing!! My husband is the woodworker and since he only has the weekends to work on this project, he has to balance it out with other things he has going on. We have, however, made some great strides to this banquette and the finish line is in sight. Let me tell you what we've worked on so far-

First off, let me just say that my husband is making this off the fly. No blueprints, nada. Just a few videos from Youtube University to get him started. Making the frame, attaching the fronts, adding banding to the edges and attaching the backs. All we have left to do is the trim, add decorative molding and then I can prime and paint this beauty!

In the meantime, I've hung up wall decor from Fireflies Decor, Society6 and pillows from H&M.

Next up is painting, hanging a new light fixture and hopefully finding a pedestal table that works in the space. Fingers crossed I can find one off Marketplace that doesn't cost me an arm and a leg! Lol!

Don't forget to check out what all the other participants are doing for the ORC and thanks again to Apartment Therapy for being the coolest sponsor!

Until next time,
