One Room Challenge: Week 1- Guest Bedroom Space Planning and Mood Board

I'm so excited to start week one of the One Room Challenge. My goal for this project is to  transform my guest room from storage area to a comfortable inviting guest bedroom.  Here are a few details on the room itself. The design theme is Global Glam,  African influences with gold glam touches! This room doesn't get used very much but is really needed for the occasional sleepover that my teenagers have from time to time as well as for family who may need to stay for a night or two. I want the overall feel of the space to be comfortable but also have an upscale hotel feel as well. The room is square shaped and has one closet for storage and a small window. This room is southern facing, so early in the day it gets a moderate amount of natural light  but by about 4 pm the light diminishes quite a bit.  Therefore, I have chosen to have one moody accent wall for drama and keep the other walls a fresh clean bright white to keep the space open and airy.  There was much to do this week and here's the run down of some of the accomplishments so far....

 To Do List for week 1 : 

• Finalize space planning- designate sleeping and reading areas
• Create a mood board for design inspiration
• Create 2D Design Boards to visualize the design
• Test paint samples on the wall and finalize selections
• Declutter the room- wish me luck! LOL!
