Emily of Chez V joined in the One Room Challenge this year, a semi-annual event where 20 design-oriented bloggers transform a room of their own, from start to finish. Emily threw herself into renovating her master bedroom and, over the course of six weeks, sanded the walls, painted, printed fabric, and shopped for the perfect pieces. See the finished product next…

Yes, yes, before you say anything — no, there is nothing wrong the before, it’s lovely, blah, blah, blah. But in this second iteration, Emily took it to another level by layering the hell out the room, and made it look luxe and comfortable at the same time.

You can follow the extensive project, from start to finish, over at Chez V.

Really nice job Emily!
