My best of the nest for May is my One Room Challenge room, which I call "the keep." Like the keeping rooms of olde, this sitting area is directly off of my kitchen.  

For today's party, I want to show you how the room looks a few weeks post-reveal.

The bar'moire was a big hit! The fern was part of my original design plan but I didn't find one in time for the reveal. This one is HUGE! I love the way it brings the outdoors in and makes the space feel more like a garden room.

The bar'moire from the side. I hope to be able to keep this fern alive! I tried to buy one that could handle poor treatment...

I was also waiting on this set of Barzina lattice planters from Zinc Door. It was part of my Polyvore Project Decorate contest winnings. I moved the (silk) orchid up here too. It adds some height, color, and interest to the space I think.

The wall above the sofa got the beginnings of a paper treatment. I bought this marbled paper from Minted. One set equals five sheets. I probably need more, and I probably need wallpaper glue. But I like the way the swirls play off of each other and I love the pink and orange colors.

The gooseneck lamp mimics the marble whorls. 

And this is how I was done with a project and then complicated it into undoing...  :)
