Changing a Spare Room into a Diva Den

This week, we’re reworking a dull eating room into a diva den.

Property owner Robin Stafford hasn’t used this home for eating since she moved into her home, so we’re likely to convert it into a unique area for her to unwind and unwind with her daughter. 

Paint Accent Wall

To produce a focal place for the room, we paint a vertical striped accent wall. The vertical stripes draw your eyes up the wall and connect with notice to the tall ceiling.

First, we clear away the chair rail so the place appears to be as large as it feels.

Next, we patch the nail holes with drywall mud.

Soon after all the holes are filled, we place a fresh coat of paint on the wall.

Following, we evaluate out the width of our stripes and mark the traces with a pencil. Then, we use a degree to make straight vertical strains for the tape to go more than. we tape our vertical stripes on the wall. 

For the stripe shades, we’re likely with tan and white. To make portray simpler, we mark the slats for the tan stripes with an “x.” 

We use painter’s tape to mark off the stripes on the wall. Following the tape is in put, we use the wall colour to seal off the tape so none of our stripe color gets underneath.

We then use two coats of our stripe shade and take away the painter’s tape. 

Change Dresser to Bar

Robin has a dresser she inherited from her mother that we’re ready to reuse and reconfigure for a bar.

We get rid of the base two drawers to develop a large bottom shelf for bottles. Then, we acquire out the big leading middle drawer and convert that area into a wine rack. 

We continue to keep the best side drawers for storage room. 

We take away the base rails that dived of the previous base drawers with an oscillating observed.

Subsequent, we reuse the wood on what used to be the back again of this dresser as the completed inside of our base cabinet.

To keep it in place without applying a bunch of nails, we use Titebond Authentic Wooden Glue. 

Right after we reconfigure the dresser into a bar, we primary and paint it a new exciting color.

Put in Ceiling Drape and LED Lights

To give this diva den a soothing lounge sense, we’re draping some sheer chiffon curtains at the best of this tall ceiling for a cabana experience. 

To get this result, we utilized three curtains and nailed the panels to the ceiling.

For some enjoyment lights, we installed LED light tape along the ceiling. These lights transform shade with the click on of a button. 

We also:

• Built a day mattress
• Additional cabinets
• Spray-painted planter gold
• Spray-painted wall plates

Put up-Generation Feelings

Robin’s formal dining home had terrific all-natural light-weight, tall ceilings and lots of area, but it experienced no real objective. So, it became a capture-all for furnishings that experienced no other dwelling. Mainly because it was suitable up coming to the entrance doorway, it was the really to start with factor her friends saw.

But now, the space has a function and temperament.

The bold stripes on the accent walls attract you in and intensify the peak of the ceiling, which tends to make a assertion of its very own with the soft LED lights filtering as a result of the sheer drapes. This ceiling makes it apparent this space is made for leisure.

Of system, the customized working day bed fits in properly with that scheme. It is straightforward, comfortable, and enhances the striped wall behind it. The dresser-turned-bar provides a pop of shade to the space and pays homage to Robin’s mom even though it serves a very useful intent.
