One Room Challenge 2021: Week 5- The Regroup Week, Vintage Rugs, Paint Colors, + More!

Welcome to week FIVE of the One Room Challenge. This week was the week of regrouping for me.

I’m feeling beyond frustrated and defeated this week, which I don’t let happen often. Here’s all the updates I have for this week:
