So ready to RE-DO!

OK, so do any of you have that one room in your home that is the "catch all room?", or the clutter collector!! I have an "office" in my home, which is a third bedroom that seems to have taken on this trait. We need the computer and all the equipment because it does tie in to our wireless network. And if the wireless ever goes down, the computer in this room is the "go-to" computer to get it fixed.

 

So with that being said, I have decided to make it into another guest bedroom. I have previously(about 6 or so months ago painted the room, so this wont be necessary as the paint is very fresh!)

I am planning on outfitting the room to accommodate guest, as well as function as a semi-office for me and my husband until our upstairs space can be finished and used for this instead.

So the plan goes, I intend to buy/find a desk that will hide all the unsightly cords that come with a desktop computer, and a storage option for all the paper for printing and files that we have. I am also trying to get my husband to be more organized about the mail(we will see if this is successful).



Before shots, not so thrilling..





Here is what I am thinking: I'm going to go classic but with a contemporary edge. My house reflects this style. I do not expect all of the computer "crap" =) to remain in this room because hopefully this fall/winter my upstairs loft will be complete and those items will be moving upstairs.(fingers crossed)

Bedding Option:

Storage/Desk Option:



I plan to paint the drawers brown or even the a burnt orange color. I chose this small desk
because it will function as a nightstand as well, and it will house the ugly tower within the cabinet.



So, I already have the mattress/box spring..need to get the rails, headboard(might do upholstered) and then all the storage pieces. Anyone know of a good yard sale going on? =) I hate CraigsList because its so wishy washy and I would rather not travel three thousand miles to get a nightstand for $30! ha!



Hello Blog, Long time no See!

Yes, I know its been a while since the last time I blogged. Sorry. I have been busy with Fall festivals and decorating, and frankly relaxing a little bit and haven't gotten around to posting all the new things I have been up to.

I am working on some custom art pieces for sale, and my neighbor wants to do a consultation with me to go over design for their home. I'm not really big on doing residential design because I feel that its your home, and you can make it comfortable to your liking, because in the end, I will tell you how to make it beautiful and look amazing, but are you going to be able to live in it? or maintain it? Its a big departure from doing commercial spaces, but I enjoy it don't get me wrong..its just different. From the clientele to the project..its all different!

I am most likely going to do a digitally design board for her because to be honest, I am tired of doing design boards. I do them at work for our clients, and to me its a little bit of a waste of time. Everything is going digital, so why not design. I am still going to pull fabrics and paint colors and finish materials for the family to look at, because you cant beat the "real" deal right in front of you that you can touch and keep, and throw around the house to make sure you like it before taking the plunge.

Example:

This is what my upstairs Loft is going to look like when I get finished with it!! Woohoo!!

Well, seeing as though I have written a bit about whats coming up in my next few blogs, I hope you will stay tuned!
