Impossibilities Challenge-My Game Room

Byljanning@dukemanorfarm.com
I DID IT!
Two weeks ago I signed up for the Impossibilites Challenge in an effort to re-energize myself into completing a project that had been stalled since last fall. You can read more about the history of my game room here.  
Well, I am happy to say that the challenge was exactly what I needed to complete the project.  As I mentioned , I work best under pressure. Always have.  As a result, last Friday I had surgery on my hand to repair some tendons that have been damaged partly because, yes you guessed it Pressure to get projects done! 




So, with one hand and the help of my hubby, I finished the project over the weekend.

  Remember, this is where I started


And the space today

 

 

 
 

I hope you like the space, not out of pity because of my injury, but because you think

it ‘s a pretty cool space too.

  17. WOW! Girl, that is a fabulous space! Congratulations! I love the color scheme, the black and white floor pops where it can be seen now, instead of just looking like "too much". It looks like you have a candy store going on, your children must love that!
    I hope you are recovering from your surgery quickly.
    Hugs, Cindy

  18. A great example of 'less is more' in color. You get so much varied use out of this one room, it's amazing… And now so beautiful, too. Looks great for kids, but also a grown-up decor and vibe.

  19. What a fun room! And I can't believe you finished with your hand! I saw an earlier post from you…with your before pictures and you really got a ton of stuff done! Love it!!!

  20. Oh I am so happy for you! It turned out FABULOUSLY! I love the pops of red organization! Absolutely brilliant! It looks like you conquered your "impossible." Thanks for joining the party!

  23. LOVE your new game room! The lighter paint make it so lighter and brighter – yet you lose NONE of the fun!

    The signs rock! (We bought and made lots of signs for our new "Impossible" kitchen. And, we are still looking for more. I'll read your posts to see if you say where you got them.)

    The stop light is great. And, of course the candy, popcorn, etc.!

    Can you believe there are so many of us "Impossible" gals out there?

  33. That is so cool! I'd love to have a room like that! Well done, especially one-handed! Found your blog through Pinterest.

  36. as soon as i saw your floors, i had to come visit, and it's possible that i commented on this before. we just installed this tile, b/c we want a retro modern vibe, and i love how you still kept that theatre feel here, just a little brighter. i'm thinking the baseboard had something to do with it!
