Quick Ways to Update Your Bedroom and Add Storage

the owner of this room is a seamstress. Her materials were all over the room with no defined areas to store and successfully be able to use them when needed. on top of her sewing machine, she stored bags of fabrics and boxes full of threads. her clutter had gotten so out of control that she was UNABLE to use the machine so it became a permanent eye sore.

This room had several problems when I first tackled it. the lack of organization was predominant and clutter was everywhere. the project had to be completed in a very short time so the before pictures went forgotten.
the problem:

- corners were filled with clutter and cans of sewing materials.

- no defined space for working - bags of material had to be removed from the top of her sewing machine before she worked. this would inhibit her from ever wanting to work.
- unmatched furniture. one piece was an armoire with a 1980's flair -(beige with gold trimmings), cherry-wood bedroom set, light wood lingerie drawer, black steel bed frame and a light wood desk area with loads of clutter.
- walls were white with patches of off beige madness everywhere.
- the budget was low. i also had to deal with a pack rat. she wanted nothing THROWN away. good thing was she was open to any color except red.

the design:

Modern Contemporary: The colors I choose was a soothing palette of green hues and natural cherry-wood with black and white accents.

the outcome:

i made centers for each function she wanted her room for.

- her sewing area

- her computer area

Home Office Space

armoire to hide tv for peaceful time

Side Table

The outcome resulted in rich cherry wood matching pieces, a tranquil green space that was also functional with beautiful decorative accents of green and natural tones.

..that's style...
