One Room Challenge: Week 4 - Nickel Gap and Coffered Ceiling

Welcome to Week 4 of the One Room Challenge! If you found us through the ORC, My husband Mike and I (Liz) are renovating our 1923 bungalow in Milwaukee, WI, while sharing the journey on Instagram and now, on this blog!

If you are joining us for the first time, we are renovating our Main Bedroom for the ORC. To catch up on design plans and progress, head over to ORC Week 1 and ORC Week 2!

You may have noticed, we missed Week 3. The truth is, renovating our kitchen, dining room and the main bedroom at the same time, while working full time, is…challenging! Last week, we had a deadline we needed to hit in our kitchen in order to get the countertops installed, so we weren’t able to devote time to the bedroom. But, we are back! And we have made some really cool progress =).

 
Main Bedroom Vertical Nickelgap

The vertical nickel-gap is in, and it makes my heart so happy! This is a fairly simple change that brings big impact. The texture brings visual interest and makes this room feel cozier than ever.

I also want to direct your attention to the ceiling! You’ll see some common board up there so far…and that is the beginning of a coffered ceiling! We wanted to do something special in here since it is the Main Bedroom. We thought this classic design would pair nicely with the nickel gap. Check out the image below from Studio McGee that is our inspiration for the ceiling!
