What's our next big project?

September 2, 2011
I am busy taking measurements, sketching out potential layouts and building a mood board for this space:
This former tortured teen's room is getting a completely new look and will serve as our guest room and office.  Here's a few sneak peeks at what we are currently thinking of for this room.
Acid-stained concrete floors (found here):

DIY a platform bed:

On the opposite side of the room, an L-shaped desk to house a sewing machine and computers with plenty of storage (found here):

An area rug to soften the bedroom side of things.  I am loving this rich blue design from FLOR:

And a warm color palette of greens, grays and blues:

We can't wait to see some progress!  We'll keep you posted!
