I'm so excited to Linda's "One Room Challenge" Link Party!
So excited, because I know that this will motivate me further in doing our son's bedroom since we just finished a very tiring but fulfilling Kitchen Renovation.
Anyway, for this project, I'm not going to say much because the pictures will do all the talking on what needs to be done for this project...

Right wall with New Dormer |
It is a huge room - a bonus room in fact that sits on top of our garage. So We have huge blank walls to fill and floor space as well.
And as if we don't have 'enough space'. We also added this Dormer (for safety reasons, no windows in this room just skylights), I did not show you yet what it looked like inside.

A lot bigger than what we anticipated |
Flooring was not included in the contract... |
No lighting |
Definitely need some seating |
And here are some of my inspirations as to what kind of 'vibe' I ( & of course my son too) want for the space...
Like the overall 'feel' of this space |
Love the wood tones and how this room can grown with any age |
Love the colors in this room |

And here's what I need to do :
1) carve out a sleeping area, study area, lounging/gaming area
2) make the Dormer a reading nook! 3)
Paint the room, add some interesting detail on the wall

5) Purge & Organize
6) Find suitable Side tables
7) Place flooring on the dormer
8) Find or build seating for the reading nook in the dormer

And after all these, I think the room will be ready for our young man!

ReplyDeleteVel, I LOVE the inspiration boards you have ... I need to do Christopher's room and this is causing some brain activity to start thinking about it!!! xo
ReplyDeleteVel, I'm thrilled to see you joining in on the fun too! You already have a great space and can't wait to see what you do! Loving your inspiration pics! xx

ReplyDeleteThe reading nook will be such a cute idea. Excited to follow along!

Oh, Vel! I cannot believe that you are ready for another project so soon. You have a lot of energy!!! You picked some great inspiration photos - I love the first one and the one with the wood on the wall. Cannot wait to see what you do with that great space!
ReplyDeleteThat dormer turned into a reading nook is exactly where I would want to curl up with a good book. This will be great, Vel. Thanks for joining in.
ReplyDeleteThe size of this space! Slightly jealous (I had to share a bedroom). Love your plans and can't wait to see the progress!
ReplyDeleteI think it's going to be great. I have a "boys' bedrooms" Pinterest board because I'm always looking at ways to improve my son's room. We did some simple things recently, but there's always more to think about trying. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas! Love the deep blue infusion on the walls if you decide to go with that. Or even grey - cannot go wrong with that. Overall, a great space to work on.
ReplyDeleteI love your inspiration spaces! I think the dormer will be a great reading nook when you're done with it; I love those little bonus spaces.
ReplyDeleteLoving your inspirational images especially the pic of the vaulted ceiling with the blue wall. can't wait to follow along!
ReplyDeleteOh that room has so much potential and I love, love that reading nook area - I want one of them for myself. I am so glad to see another blogger I know doing this challenge along with me. I will be watching you all along the way. Isn't it exciting. Love your inspirational photos!
