We transformed the bonus room at the top of the stairs into a fun space for the entire family. While it was one of their favorite rooms when they moved into the house, with high ceilings and tons of natural light, it quickly filled up with all the extra furniture that didn't really fit anywhere else. By adding built-in bookcases and a window seat, we were able to maximize storage for books and toys, while keeping plenty of open floor space for playing. We even found room for a built-in workstation in what used to be the closet. When not in use it hides neatly behind a custom sliding barn door treatment. I had so much fun with this project as the family is not afraid of color, "the more the better", and was open to my ideas for adding some quirky vintage elements.
A lamp made from a microphone stand, vintage cameras for the bookshelves, and even a door handle fashioned from a retired railroad track, all add to the playful vibe. Now all that is left are the finishing touches, such as mounting the TV, and filling the picture frames with family photos...
