My ORC faves

After last week's super successful ONE ROOM CHALLENGE, a lot of bloggers have been posting about their favorites. I can't help but share some of mine as well. Yup, the ORC fever is still in my system and I just have to let it out!

Choosing though was way more difficult of course than I anticipated, everyone added their own zest and zing into their spaces but a couple of them just blew me away! I just have to share them with you and also these spaces all have inspirational aspects that you might enjoy too!

Let's start with my favorite Living Rooms…

Heather's Vintage-filled Living Room - Tatter & Fray

Proof that there is beauty in the tattered and frayed items that surround us! This room was almost entirely decorated in beautiful vintage items, a joy to tour around in.

Sherry's Gorgeously rich Living room makeover - Design Indulgence

Sherry shows her mastery of mixing a lot of neutrals with pattern and texture. This space is straight out of a magazine!

Chic Bachelor Living Room from Naomi - Design Manfest

Naomi's room totally rocked! Every little beautiful detail thought of and mixed well to give this lucky guy and his boys a cozy room to be proud of! Love this make over so much, the Dining room was also fave!

The Chic Bachelor pad Dining room by Naomi - Design Manifest

See what I mean? Simple patterns that men won't be too overwhelmed looking at right?!

Staphnie's fabulous Dining Room Transformation- Stephanie Krauss Designs

What's not to love about this space? Cozy navy, just the right dose of pattern on the wing backs and the curtains and ooh-la-la accessories! You should really see the BEFORE pics!

Now for my favorite bedrooms...

 

Pam's Luxe-glam Bedroom - Simple Details

The picture says it all right? Majestic headboard, a brilliant ostritch-covered IKEA hack side dresser table,  mirror detail and all the gold on the walls!!! I'm just in love.

Heather's colorful Guest bedroom - Vivid Hue Home

I probably could not sleep in here since I would be ogle-ing at so many beautiful things to look at in this space! From the gorgeous lighting and styling, Heather made this room very special and her guests will surely feel the same way too!

Kimber's Preppy Vintage bedroom - House of Pemberly

I love the vibe in this space. The mix of colors and placement of the wall art beside the dresser is just pretty perfect!

Stacey's Minimalist/Feng-shui chic bedroom - Design Addict Mom

 Aaaaahhhh, a breath of fresh air, love the right amount of pattern on the wall and despite that it achieves calm and simple beauty all at the same time!

Now for my fave Family Rooms...

Elizabeth's Stylish but kid-friendly Family room - The Little Black Door

This is the perfect example of a functional and beautiful family room if you've still got small kiddos in the house. A nook for everyone yet still embrace mommy's fabulous style! Take note of the stripes on the floor and the stairs too!

Our host Linda's Serene blue Family room - Calling it Home

Now this, is the perfect family room if you still have big kiddos in the house. Love that it is filled with both style and comfort and of course, I love all the blues and chinoiserie all around!

For my favorite offices...

Caitlin's Shed to Cool Workspace - The Shingled House

Would you believe this space used to be a SHED? I was just blown away with this one, love the contemporary and rustic vibe all together, and that fireplace, once it starts working will only make things more perfect for this space!

Rebecc'as Glamorous Vintage Work space - My Darling House

Isn't is amazing when someone designs a space with what seems to be a room filled with stuff when in actuality, it doesn't? This is what I love so much about this room, everything Rebecca put in this room is worth looking at. Love the mix of the contemporary and vintage pieces too!

The one and only Kitchen and why it's a fave...

Kim's Beautiful Kitchen Makeover - The Green Room Interiors

Kim is just one of those designers who can whip up something gorgeous no matter what's given to her. I love how she was able to pull off this beautiful kitchen without changing the cabinet doors, the styling and the whimsy mixed with the chic! Just genius!

My fave Powder Rooms….

Nancy's Organic Chic Powder room - Powell Brower Interiors

I love how Nancy achieved the organic feel in this space without making it feel sparse! The wallpaper is not overwhelming and makes for a serene respite even if your only there for a few minutes! Just so pretty!

Kim's Gorgeous Powder room - Kim Macumber Interiors

Now Kim's Powder room is probably the opposite of Nancy's. Full of pattern and deep colors, but still manages to pull of a space that's not overwhelming but just so lovely to look at! Brilliant!

Now I can't do my fave's without these Kid's spaces...

Susie's Amazing Play Space - Maddies Nest

I need to do a picture mural like this fast!Doesn't this space make you want to have kids?!! ;-) Nuf said!

Lisa's Pretty girls bedroom - A Room with A View

Love the DIY decor on the wall and the chandy is simply perfect for this little girls's room! Easy switcheroo too someday as the kiddo grows up!

Kim's wonderful Nautical Nursery - The Kim Six fix

I love all of Kim's DIY's for her son's room, very inspirational transformation, you should visit this space wether you are or are not expecting!

Aaryn's sweet nursery - My Rose Among Thorns

And of course, for anyone lucky enough to have a baby girl, this nursery is just too sweet for words!

Now for my favorite Gallery Walls...

A Pefect Gallery wall from Gaby - The Vault Files

What can I say, the black walls and lighting and right mix of art, make for a perfect gallery wall, bathroom or not!

Lisa's Awesome Travel Gallery wall - Shine your Light

I truly love the sentimentality that went to this Gallery wall. It's like a huge wall of keepsake of memories!!!!  Perfect for any kind of family!

Perfect Art Gallery Wall by Kerry - Design Du Monde

I love how Kerry managed to fill a wall full of portraits without making it look creepy or museum-curated! It's probably the artist in her that made this gallery wall in her son's room just brilliant!

Now my last fave is actually a DIY...

Kris's bedroom is gorgeous but this IKEA hack just rocks - Driven by Decor

You have to see the entire room to know what I mean but this linen-covered Ikea dresser is just something I'm ready to buy right of the store right?! Can't wait for the tutorial!

Again, these are only some, believe me when I say that I would have put almost every room in this post if I could, but I'm sure you'd all be snoozing before it's over!

Thanks for checking it out and be sure to check out whichever of these spaces strikes your fancy!

Have a Wonderful Day!
