This episode of part II of a two part series about the One Room Challenge and the complete transformation of our Podcast Studio. We encourage you to go back and listen to Episode 82 but in quick summary, The One Room Challenge is a virtual design event in it’s 17th season where 20 chosen influencers around the country are asked to transform a space with the help of ORC Sponsors. As chosen designers, we are then responsible for blogging about the transformation over the course of 8 weeks. So by the time you listen to this podcast episode, the final reveal will be on our blog!

OUR SPONSOR

Before we dive in, we want to let you know that this episode is sponsored by Currey & Company. Coincidentally, Currey is also a sponsor of the ORC and you can see the gorgeous console we used in our studio on the blog. Currey is a go to for us for lighting and casegoods because they have a well curated variety of styles, colors and textures in all of their products.  If you are one of those people who have multiple boring flush mounted lights throughout your home (we call them boob lights), check out the new James Flush Mount – a MUCH better alternative! Check them out at curreyandcompany.com.
