I am beyond excited to be participating as a guest designer in this years fall One Room Challenge! We moved into our new house just over a month ago, and I have a long list of design projects that I would love to check off. For this challenge, I was able to narrow it down to my sons bedroom. The space is really small and has a bit of an awkward layout, however after thinking it through I see so much potential!

When designing the great room, I really wanted it to be a place the family would love to relax in, and where they would enjoy hosting company. One of my main concerns when working with such a large living space, is that the sitting area can be “too big” making it difficult to carry a conversation with someone across the room.

HAMBRGR TOUR
HAMBRGR was a fun project to work on with a really quick turn around time.

The budget didn’t allow for us to change any of the millwork or flooring, so we focused our attention on the walls, furniture and lighting.
