ONE ROOM CHALLENGE WEEK 5- Ggem Design Studio

Oooooooo this weird week is getting less weird thank goodness.

Oh Halloween! I think most of you know I’m in the Los Angeles area and Southern California is suffering two severe wildfires at this time. Not very near us. There were a lot of fires all over California and and extreme red flag warning. The winds have calmed and we are going to see humidity rise, but I must admit, I lost an entire day of ORC work to low grade anxiety around the weather. My thoughts are with those affected.  

After the #woolseyfire disaster of last year, my community is in recovery mode, and that whole experience gave me a lot of clarity along with some fire prep skills. So if there’s fire nearby, that’s what I am doing. I did a lot of that this week, here’s one of the fire maps from last week... schools were closed. Traffic was weird and Andrew and I called in to most meetings. 

and here’s a shot of the previously mentioned fire meeting from last week. 

But luckily, Cindy! Cindy works for Ggem Design Co (@GgemDesign on Insta) and she is down for whatever fun thing we’ve got going. She took ownership of the chair restoration project! Last week we got fancy casters on it, so I can roll around. 

Friends, you remember my sad, sad chair, right? Cindy thinks it’s green in the “before” phase, I don’t see green but whatevs. It looked gross.

And please recall that I though I love that vintage Baker Chair (and basically all other old leather wing chairs and club chairs), and I left it outside and then tried to restore it with a garden home and a scrub brush. Hot tip: don’t do that.  But Cindy did MUCH better....

I picked up these fancy products from fine specialty store for fine leather care, CVS. Just kidding, it’s just regular plain old CVS. Now I will get random shoe care coupons for the rest of my natural born life, because they track your purchases, but it was probably worth it! 

BECAUSE she fixed it! It’s a little streaky here but it gets better! Note the charred shelf above her! Oh and we got casters on that chair and I love it so much!!!

The wall was needing something, so I got some peel and stick wallpaper... Here it is upside down. Compelling photo of white paper, basically, I know. But you CAN see my new/old bookends. I HEART those! From the thrift store!

OK! Here’s big star 1. I need to make maybe 7, but have only done 2. I need to have finished photography by Wed. Ummmm.... But OK!

And dang gummit (is that how you say that?) I’m making some giant stars. Tomorrow, Sunday, basically all days until Wed. It takes hours but it’s gonna be that good kind of weird, I know it! 

Here’s a shot of some of the rest of this weeks projects (Because I think you know I’m a professional #interiordesigner in the #Malibu area), this is the 2nd to last install at this fabulous beach house. It was a remodel and full furnish, and exactly our sweet spot kind of job! See more and more of our projects at the main site, ShannonGgem.com.

And here’s some fire prep, and the reboot of the patio at the end of the red flag conditions.

Empty patio (dry skin in 4% humidity, 2 friends who sell skin care reached out when I posted this on insta Hahahaaaaa. Follow me there for all sorts of shenanigans. I am a chronic feed-cleaner so things go up and get archived and you may never see this dry skin again)!   Then reboot deck...

Ok, go check out more #oneroomchallenge #bhgorc rooms! People are AMAZING, talented, organized, not making (good kind of weird) peel and stick stars, and it’s super fun and inspiring! 

Yay!

Happy Friday IGFam! I'm excited to announce that I'll be participating as a guest in the #oneroomchallenge sponsored by @betterhomesandgardens. Some of you (many of you lol) have followed along in my IG stories during the early stages so you know what's going on. * * * The premise of the challenge is to fully renovate one room in your home. We have chosen a makeover for my oldest son's bedroom. He's taking on college while working and needs a sanctuary to serve several purposes while he's studying. The room will then become our main guest bedroom. ♡○♡○♡○♡○♡○♡○ We came up with this mood board... an urban modern oasis to help him focus on his work and to get ready for the transition when the time comes. Read the full story and see the before photos by clicking the BHGOneRoomChallenge link in the profile. New progress posts will go live each Wednesday. Have a most awesome FriYay! ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ @oneroomchallenge  #bhgorc #homedecor #decor #homedesign #interiors #decoration #instahome #homestyle #instadecor #homesweethome #interiordecor #furniture #interiorstyling #interior4all #homedecoration #homestyling #instadesign #interior123 #homeinterior #bedroom #arquitetura #decorating #interiores #kitchen #interiorinspiration #interiordesigner https://www.instagram.com/p/B3NEbPUnbea/?igshid=1dcrlz9l5olak

ONE ROOM CHALLENGE week 4

The One Week Challenge is a widely anticipated biannual design event, challenging participants to complete a project and weekly blog posts in just 6 weeks. The event is media partnered with Better Homes and Gardens, and I am a guest participant!  

Whoa! So many changes and time obligations, and it’s just sort of wonderful that I HAVE to get this post in, or else I’d procrastinate! I went to High Point, North Carolina (furniture capitol of the world). For 8 whole nights! I saw so many respected colleagues and SUCH incredible product, I did an install for @aldenparkes #showhouseinashowroom. Scroll down for a photo of that fancy business and more info on it. LOVED IT! We had a town hall meeting in my community that I chaired 1 hour after I returned home. We have red flag conditions here at Malibou Lake, there are fires everywhere but not within 25 miles. We are not in harms way. I ache for those who are. I evacuated everyone from a jobsite because of a fire in Malibu yesterday (it was close but put out quickly), I have performed home hardening efforts several days this week, attended a Woolsey Fire Draft incident report feedback meeting and spoke on a topic that makes my voice shake in front of 100s- I used my meditation methods, and my voice did not shake! Many things happened this week.   Ok back to the One Room Challenge

The aforementioned studio -mate, an incredible visual artist, once mentioned to me the need for an enormous table. So I got one as a desk. It’s truly enormous, and fits the glorious Baker Wing chair with newly installed CASTERS! Wheeeee! They look like clear roller blade wheels and I love them!

I wanted something pre patina-ed and fairly chunky and boy did I get that. And more! It’s got a double pedestal base and claw and ball feet and it is incredibly heavy pine with a nice patina. It was a wedding gift to the craigs-lister and he loved it but now they are just ready for something different. I told him he could buy it back if he needed to, in a few years. 

I really want the painter I share the space with to feel completely free to use the whole table when he’s there and I’m not (we haven’t seen each other in years- it’s a perfect share, we keep different hours), so I found a ginormous, partially burnt in the Woolsey Fire piece of the wall of our home that burned and needed replacing. A wall board, 1″ x 12″. It’s 1924 redwood. It’s bowed and cupped and charred from the fire, but it’ll be a perfect place to get everything above head height and create a table space I can totally wipe clean. I was so excited to come upon it during home hardening (which I’m doing as a way to work with the energy fires create in me, and also because it’s proactive and needed). 

My husband and I never say no to helping each other, so when I dropped this into his schedule, he gracefully accepted. He brought fantastic carpenter help! He’s a general contractor, (he came to it from carpentry) and a brilliant problem solver and the best life choice I ever made. We have so much fun. He’s the only carpenter ever who would agree to hang this silly warped and burned board. But it’s ours, from something we went through that made us super strong and it’s really the only board that’s an option. 

He’s the one in the middle. 

So this is happening, The shelf is up.  I have key materials on it it needs better styling. The green performance fabrics I recommend on hangers in the corner, my mohair samples are on the shelf, an antique hat box with my preferred cushion/ pillow filling- all for clients to touch and feel to understand the construction of the pieces I have made for their magical homes.  The table is in. I am so hoping the painter uses it! I wrote to him. 

I happen to love my puffy insulation loft ceiling as is, I thought of adding white wire grids to show some handblown lighting I sell, but I think I’ll use existing infrastructure instead. The swing couldn’t work! It would be very much in the painter’s way with the beam layout- so I canned it.  Jury is out if my carpenter will get to the small door and the moulding- I began the challenge without a pre plan, I would have needed to book more than 6 weeks ago if I wanted in to his schedule for real. But he is going to try!  I think, for function, that I need some shelves on the side wall, and an assistant’s chair. My awesome assistant doesn’t do much sitting- so I need to chat with her about what she wants. The amazing art deco ottomans are horsehair, organic cotton and the heaviest wood ever but the leather is SO damaged, I am afraid I need to let them go- they are so damaged you guys!  The walls need something. I told the painter he can have all the hanging space- but we’ll see what he says. I also am feeling like a rug may be in order? To ground the feeling in there- sometimes because of the vaulted ceiling I can feel untethered in there, A darker rug may settle that down.  And I’ll get that star in there- that is happening!  That’s it for my week 4 update, here’s the super before/before and this week’s progress! 

Ok, gotta figure out the rest and get GOING! Omg this is a very effective design event. And below here’s the Showroom in Showhouse space I designed for High Point Market. And I’m standing with Jackie Von Tobel the creator of that awesome custom mural created for the space. Look at that gorgeous bedding by www.Wildcatterritory.com! Gorgeous lighting by www.wildwoodlamps.com, fabulous book sets by www.juniperbooks.com, and ALL the china, crystal and silver by www.replacements.com and furniture by www.adenparkes.com! 

See you next week! Hopefully I’ll have a couple other blog posts from High Point this week, so stay tuned here!

For those of you who know me, know I bought my house over a year ago and have been slowly chipping away at it. Paint, lighting, furniture, a fence and over the weekend, I demo’ed MY ONE AND ONLY BATHROOM, all for the @OneRoomChallenge! Down to the studs. It’s gutted! Yesterday the bathtub was swapped, shower valves were installed and we threw up some plastic so I can still shower. We have progress! I wrote an entire blog post about my plans, including all of my selections which you can read from the link in my profile. I’ll be sharing all of the costs associated (full transparency) how I planned a budget from generic to specific and timeline for the project. It has to be complete in 6 weeks, which I’d go crazy if it went on any longer but holy h$ll, six weeks is going to happen fast. Check back each week on Wednesday for the update and follow along in my stories to see all of the gritty behind the scenes details! Be sure to check out the other 19 creatives out there doing this challenge with me! Especially if you’re thinking of tackling your own remodel. Use us as a resource, let us know what you need answered! We’ll do our best!

One Room Challenge: Week 5 Office Refresh

One Room Challenge: Week 5 Office Refresh

It’s all winding down and this is the last week before the reveal…. Yaaaaay!!  I’m really excited about how my office is looking.  Not only is it prettier, it actually feels like it’s more space. (weird), but needless to say, I can’t believe I was letting things pile around me because of not being organized and basically lazy.  I won’t let that happen again because I don’t expect it to ever feel…
