Hola everybody! Welcome back to week 5 of the One Room Challenge. [if you need to catch up on weeks before, I have linked them below] Oh, the joys of being 1 week away from a deadline. Life can bring a certain chain of events and get right in the way of decorating plans, can you feel me? Anyway, this week was not the best for this room. One, we keep trying to drill a hole into these cinderblock walls to hang this bad ass bull but its just not working like we want it to.

We finally have both Eames chairs in here and they look so good with the desk. We also got a few of the art pieces hung and they look great but the calendar hasn't arrived yet, total bummer. I'm hoping we can get it in time. Also, this light fixture we ordered from Lamps Plus is WAY too heavy to hang. The walls here are so thin, we are having a hard time finding the right stud to hang it on. Total bummer because I love this light!!! Here was the original plan...

Also, the rug. We ordered the super popular Moroccan style from Wayfair. It would give the space a cozy feel, but just as we were moving the rug in, we noticed that it just isn't right right fit. It's a little too plush for the area. When she needs to work on the floor, she needs a flat surface. So she wanted to find something a little more thin to go with the modern vibe. Then I grabbed her a cowhide rug from my favorite source in Austin and its a little better but she loves the look of the Moroccan one more.

So, before we make our final decisions and as we wait on more arrivals we will sit on these things that need to be done. Also, we are going to do our best to find something major to hang that lamp. Or find a new one. Now I'm feeling the "challenge" of it all. Oy vey!
