Big Reveal of Glam French Bohemian Rhapsody Living Room and Dining Room for Jeweled Interiors Fall 2018 One Room Challenge
Note: Some products in this post are sponsored but the opinions are 100 percent my own.
Today’s the day you guys! For the last six weeks I have been sleeping an average of 6 hours a night, eating a steady diet of Costco cheeses and Nutella straight out of a jar, completely giving up any semblance of a social life, and have severely lowered my standard for personal hygiene just to bring to you this very moment… The BIG REVEAL of my Glam French Bohemian Rhapsody living room and dining room… Worth it? I’ll let you decide.
Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6- You are here
What is the ORC?
Hopefully by now you’ve learned that this is a six week competition between a few dozen “Challenge Participants” and hundreds of other “Guest Participants” (like me). All of us have the goal of transforming our spaces with only a month and a half to get it done. As an added bonus, there are two great media sponsors for this event, Better Homes and Gardens and Home Love Network. While they pick their favorites to showcase, the rest of us will be supporting and congratulating each other on a jobs well done. We made it folks and I’m so proud of us all!
Glam French Bohemian and Freddy Mercury
As an added bonus, my Glam French Bohemian Rhapsody Living Room and Dining Room gives me a fabulous excuse to use unlimited corny references to popular songs performed by the band Queen. I wasn’t born when Queen was popular (yeah right), but my 5 minute Google search now qualifies me as an expert on the subject. Do you think I can fit a dozen Queen references into one ORC Reveal post? Don’t stop me now!

I needed some statement-making pillows to rest on these statement-making leopard chairs. Arianna Belle was able to help me decide on the perfect size and color. With their classic selection and helpful service I think we nailed these cute little green pillows!
I have to admit something to you. I have ALWAYS loved the combo of a Kelly Wearstler Channels pillows in Ebony and Ivory paired with a Grosgrain Ribbon Pillow. Arianna Belle is a go-to place to find timeless and stunning pillows.

I will also be doing a tutorial on how to upholster cantilever chairs. I recently picked up this set of eight and used fabric from Fabric Place Basement to recover them. Trust me…They look so much better!
It isn’t Jewel’s sofa if it doesn’t have a little fringe. Hear me talking? Thank goodness for Fringe Market for feeding my fringe obsession!

Thanks Danyelle. It feels great to be done, doesn’t it?
Thanks so much Jen! Love the term junglicous…or however we should spell it??? 🙂
Thanks Rebecca! I LOVE your kitchen!!!
I frequently quote “fat bottom girls make the rockin’ world go round”…mostly to feel better about myself when my jeans feel tight. ?
I’m not often speechless, but at this moment. Oh yea. Speechless. The rooms are amazing. If I started listing all the things I like, I’d be here until tomorrow so let’s just say you. did. good!!! Super good. So thrilled for you. Now…time to enjoy. ~~ Susie from The Chelsea Project
Wow, this is a magical makover! So colorful and dreamy! Love everything what you did in these spaces; truly glam and fully French Bohemian! LOVE IT!
fantastic makeover Jewel!! so much drama and can’t believe did it all (so many DIY projects too) and to take your own photos in 6 short weeks! Such a treat to see your makeovers, especially when both rooms have their own personality yet sit perfectly next to each other! Bravo to another beautifully done One Room Challenge!
I don’t know what I love most?!?!? It’s so beautiful and I’m a huge Freddie fan so it was like taking a trip down memory lane. You did him proud.

You are ever-inspiring, Jewel!!! You are a sorceress of pattern and color. I don’t even know where to begin. That wallpaper and those cantilever chairs paired together are straight up incredible. The artwork, the upholstery choices you made—the leopard, the geometric bench, that bluuuue—it’s just all so beautiful! So much eye candy. And don’t even get me started on the Queen references … HILARIOUS!!! Amazing job, girlfriend!!
Oh my goodness, Jewel! Both rooms are absolutely amazing. I love the wallpaper so much! Such gorgeous work! Hope you take a few days off to recover now. 🙂
Congrats on finishing the ORC! Your rooms turned out amazing. I love how you woven all these bold pieces together so masterfully. Just gorgeous!
ooooh it’s gorgeous! i love your coffee table- the wording under the image is not lined up and i can’t read it- can you tell me where you found it?

Thanks so much Jill!
Oh my goodness so many fun details and the hilarious references! The chandeliers are show stoppers, I LOVE those lamps, and the amount of work that you put into these spaces totally shows! Amazing work! Congrats and cheers on another ORC!
Absolutely incredible job!! I can’t pick a favorite feature, it’s all so fantastic! Well done lovely!

BEYONNNND beyond beyond girl!! Looks SO AMAZING, I can’t believe you did everything you did! So much life and color, so good!
Thanks so much Susie!
It’s SO SO So good. I really love every single detail. It’s so perfectly you. It looks like it needs to be in a magazine feature. I’m also SO impressed by your upholstery skills! You totally killed it!
Thanks so much Jess!
I am so impressed right now, that you took on two rooms for this challenge. I think you should get an award or something for this. I have 10 loads of laundry and I only did one small dining room. I absolutely love the wallpaper and lamps in your dining area and let’s talk about those chairs…totally stellar!
This is so much style crammed into one home. The chandeliers are incredible. Everything is so bold!
You really outdid yourself here Jewel! I love how everything came together. Just one dose of awesomeness after another. Now it’s time to catch up on some much-needed sleep!
The amount of work you’ve put into these spaces is mind-boggling Jewel! They look outstanding! Nicely done chica!
I waited six long weeks for your particular reveal and mannnnnnnnnnnnnn – you NAILED IT ??????? Both room are BEAUTIFUL. All the details, just everything!!!!! Congrats on another gorgeous one room challenge ??????
Oh my goodness Tiffany. That made my day! Thanks so much!
Thanks so much Ola! I think I’m ready for a nap. ?
Thanks so much Kenyatta! It’s definitely a fabulous experience to walk into the dining room with the Milton and King wallpaper!
Thank you! Did you happen to catch the before pics of the chairs?
So sophisticated and fun! It really is quite genius.
Thank you so much Norma!!!
These spaces are both showstoppers. Those leopard chairs are everything!
Stunning! I love all of your bold colour choices and they all work together so well! Amazing job on the leopard chairs.
Thanks so much Nicki!
Literally my mouth is hanging open right now! This makeover is everything!!! I couldn’t name all the things I love, but man that wallpaper and leopard print chairs steal the show for me! Congratulations on an amazing ORC reveal!
Thank you so much Linda!
This is fabulous! You didn’t mention the matching pair of lamps… white with knobs all around them… Would you please share the source!?! Thank you!
I am dying. dying over how amazing, fabulous, gorgeous this all is. I am in awe. I have read it once but I will be scrolling and reading it again and again to look at every little detail. Perfection!!
Thanks Sarah! I DIY’ed them with $8 thrift store lamps, marbles, and spray paint. Good luck!
That is so incredibly kind Marcie. Thank you so much!
Hi! I’d love to know more about where the artwork above the sofa is from?
Thanks Carly. I made it with plywood, paint samples, oil paints, a miter saw, and a nail gun…I WISH I had made a tutorial. I would have purchased art, but where in the world would I be able to find something so custom, right?
WOW! So beautiful, I love all the details and that light is gorgeous.
Thank you so much Nicole!
I just found your blog, and while I’m definitely more of a minimalist, your maximalist style is on the right side of insane and I adore it. (Also, your red/pink Christmas tree is <3)
Thanks so much! I just love this compliment, and I will own it proudly. Right side of insane!!! ❤️Jewel
Can you share the source for the pale blue curtains – love!!
Hi Annie-
Dupioni Silk from Fabric.com. 🙂 Good luck!
Sorry to be late to the party but what a beautiful room. When I saw it I thought “Miles Redd” immediately, who is my favorite decorator and whom I try to channel in my decor. Although I would say you do a better job. I wish you were in Atlanta area I would hire you!
Oh my goodness Kathy. Thanks for the kind words!
