A few weeks ago, I had the COOLEST opportunity to go up to Salt Lake City for the first #OverstockSyle Weekend. When I found out that Kirsten from Simply Grove, Cassandra from Coco+Kelley, Dabito from Old Brand New and Ashley from At Home with Ashley were also coming, I knew it was going to be an amazing time. But little did I know that Overstock was going to roll out the red carpet for us in such a major way! It honestly was one of the most fun work trips I’ve ever been on. I left with sore cheeks from laughing, a tummy full from all the amazing meals, and a mind brimming with inspiration.
We started out by heading to Overstock’s corporate headquarters called Peace Coliseum (it looks like a peace sign from above).
When we got there they showed us a demo of their new augmented reality app that you can use to literally see thousands of pieces of furniture on their site in your room using your phone. It was SO crazy and it felt like I was getting a peek into the future for all online shopping. I love that Overstock considers themselves to be a tech company too – they are pushing boundaries for sure.
Next stop, we got to tour the Overstock Dream House up high in the mountains (literally on Mt. Olympus) overlooking the Salt Lake valley below. This mid-century house was completely decked out! Before coming up for the weekend, all of us bloggers sent Overstock a couple of mood boards of furniture we loved from the site.
Then their design team decorated the house using only Overstock product based on the pieces we really loved! So cool, right? Here’s a little tour!
Living room inspired by Cassandra from coco+kelley – the wood sided sofa was literally perfect.
bench // wood sided sofa // coffee table // vase // wall art
Dining room inspired by Kirsten from Simply Grove – those leather and brass dining chairs SWIVEL!
table // rug // sideboard // dining chairs // wall art // planters
The loungey family room was inspired by Dabito from Old Brand New – it honestly was the best hang out space! We were all here for hours and hours!
coffee table // gold floor lamp // woven chair // sofa // black leather chair / / wall art // rug
Ashley from At Home with Ashley inspired this breakfast nook – She loves a good pop of pink and that rug was perfection. (That art was SO GREAT too!)
chandelier // credenza // chairs // table // wall art // rug
They designed the master bedroom inspired by my mood boards and it was so dreamy! Super soothing and calm, like a bedroom should be!
rug // lights // wall art // pom pom pillow
(If you’re interested in seeing the whole Dream House, click over here! The exterior was gorgeous too!) After our house tour, a private chef made the most amazing five course dinner for us at the Overstock Dream House. Then we karaoked down in the lounge room (with all that gorgeous walnut paneling on the walls!) until the wee hours. It was amazing and completely worth being a little sleepy the morning of the big DESIGN CHALLENGE DAY!!!
You guys, they told us we were going to the Overstock photo studio for a design challenge, but we had NO CLUE about any of the details. When we arrived at their enormous photo studio early the next morning, we each got to pick an envelope at random. When we opened them we saw that we were each assigned a different color of the same chair. Most of the colors were more neutral but I got THE ORANGE CHAIR!!! Gasp! I was excited for the challenge. :)
Each of the five bloggers had a room set in the photography studio with wood floors and a neutral color on the walls. Once we were assigned a chair color and a photo assistant and stylist team, they started the clock! We RACED through the Overstock prop house, picking furniture and accessories and lamps and art to use in our rooms all from the Overstock inventory. It felt like I was in a game show! Like a mix of the Amazing Race and that old grocery store game or something! :) It was sort of stressful but mostly SO FUN!
I put together a video of all of my Instagram stories from the design challenge – it was so fun to livestream the excitement!
Here’s a time lapse video of my space. I had fun reliving the day by occasionally pausing the video to see all the different directions we thought about going in before settling on the final look! :)
When the time was up, we did a big Overstock Facebook Live stream of the room reveals with each of the bloggers (you can still watch that video here) and the viewers voted on their favorites spaces. I’m so happy to say that my space won thanks to you guys and your support! Thank you!!! :)
Here’s the finished room from my #OverstockStyle Design Challenge!!
I was a little nervous about getting the orange chair, but I actually think it works really well in the space here! It’s such a fun pop of color.
Overstock continued to spoil us the rest of the weekend with amazing meals and outings and just generally a really great time! I have to say, I came into the weekend loving Overstock’s product offering, but I left LOVING OVERSTOCK and what they stand for as a company. They love their customers and they really love their employees. I have so much respect for all they are achieving!

This post is brought to you by Overstock, a company I use and love! Thank you for supporting our sponsors!
Fabulous job. The chair is so cute.
Love this so much!! I’m ordering furniture for my new house right now so this is very timely!
I was just in Salt Lake last week! I wish I would’ve known Overstock was based there. Love the orange chair.
Love your room and really like the Orange chair as well!! Great job!
Love how your room turned out! I watched this in real time on Instastories and was excited you went with the curtains- I’ve been looking forward to your blog post so I could find out what ones you used because I couldn’t find them on the site, but I’m worried the lack of a link means they’re unavailable…is there a source you can share for them?? Thanks!! Great job!
Love your design of the room! Game is a rough color to work with. I always think of putting it with brown and then hate it. This looks much better!
I seriously love each room you do even more than the last. And thanks for all of the links. I need a new floor lamp–this one looks nice and slender, which is what I need!
Very impressed with how you were able to make that orange chair work! You go girl!
Such a comfy looking room! We are renovating our basement so this would be fantastic, and thanks for the links!
what a fun project and the room came out so lovely!
may i ask where that amazing credenza is from in the dream room picture?!
I love how the you put the room together! And that chair! Amazing!
Your room turned out perfectly! I always love to see how you pull together a fun, chic space that looks collected but not cluttered.
It’s a gorgeous room and I loved following along on instastories. I was surprised you took the time, I would have felt too crunched by the time constraint to instastory, thanks for taking the time.
That challenge sounds so fun! Love the chair and the room you styled.
Love how it turned out! I am definitely a neutral girl myself and would have been to scared to use the orange in my own home but I feel like it adds so much to the space here. Looking for some living room chairs currently & think this one (in a more neutral color) would be perfect!
Gorgeous room, Jenny! Your eye for style is top knot here! I would looooove that chair for a reading nook in my bedroom. All the heart eyes!
Thanks for sharing!
It was fun reading this post and I love the room you designed. I also love the chair and you. :)
Thank you, thank you for sharing all the links! I have been anxiously awaiting this post from you. We recently moved and are so glad that we also recently discovered overstock! Their rug selection blew me away! So many fun pieces.
Love the chair!!
Always love your work and would love to win the chair! Also am eying that rug!!
Supermarket sweep. It was fun to see the behind the scenes while you styled the room!

It was so fun watching this live! I totally voted for you! ;) getting the orange chair would have made me nervous too! It’s defiantly a lot I shy away from but I absolutely love how your room came together and how the orange chair blends right in!

Oops

Gosh, who new Overstock had such on-trend and expansive home decor options?! I have only visited their site as a last resort to find a cheaper priced odd ball item, but now my eyes are opened to the true treasure trove that it is! Literally scouring through rugs on the site as we speak! Thanks for sharing about your experience!
