The really great news thus far on my ONE ROOM CHALLENGE is I am right on schedule to finish this FORMAL LIVING ROOM space by its June 25th deadline πŸ™ŒπŸ» especially now that the fireplace mural is complete! Thus, it’s time to move onto the next project . . . which you probably figured is the 1970s circular sofa . . . but since I’m still waiting on the delivery of that particular project’s fabric πŸ˜… I had to move onto something else and that project was creating a disco ball coffee table πŸ•ΊπŸ» ENJOY!
