Changing a Spare Room into a Diva Den

This week, we’re remodeling a uninteresting eating room right into a diva den.

Home-owner Robin Stafford hasn’t used this room for eating since she moved into her dwelling, so we’re going to show it into a singular house for her to loosen up and unwind along with her daughter. 

Paint Accent Wall

To create a focus for the room, we paint a vertical striped accent wall. The vertical stripes draw your eyes up the wall and name consideration to the tall ceiling.

First, we take away the chair rail so the room appears as massive because it feels.

Subsequent, we patch the nail holes with drywall mud.

After all of the holes are crammed, we put a recent coat of paint on the wall.

Subsequent, we measure out the width of our stripes and mark the strains with a pencil. Then, we use a degree to create straight vertical strains for the tape to go over. we tape our vertical stripes on the wall. 

For the stripe colours, we’re going 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. After the tape is in place, we use the wall coloration to seal off the tape so none of our stripe coloration will get beneath.

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

Convert Dresser to Bar

Robin has a dresser she inherited from her mom that we’re in a position to reuse and reconfigure for a bar.

We take away the underside two drawers to create a big backside shelf for bottles. Then, we take out the big prime center drawer and convert that house right into a wine rack. 

We preserve the highest aspect drawers for space for storing. 

We take away the underside rails that dived of the outdated backside drawers with an oscillating noticed.

Subsequent, we reuse the wooden on what was once the again of this dresser because the completed inside our backside cupboard.

To maintain it in place with out utilizing a bunch of nails, we use Titebond Authentic Wooden Glue. 

After we reconfigure the dresser right into a bar, we prime and paint it a brand new enjoyable coloration.

Set up Ceiling Drape and LED Lights

To provide this diva den a calming lounge really feel, we’re draping some sheer chiffon curtains on the prime of this tall ceiling for a cabana really feel. 

To get this impact, we used three curtains and nailed the panels to the ceiling.

For some enjoyable lighting, we put in LED mild tape alongside the ceiling. These lights change coloration with the press of a button. 

We additionally:

• Constructed a day mattress
• Added cabinets

Submit-Manufacturing Ideas

Robin’s formal eating room had nice pure mild, tall ceilings and loads of house, nevertheless it had no actual objective. So, it grew to become a catch-all for furnishings that had no different dwelling. As a result of it was proper subsequent to the entrance door, it was the very very first thing her visitors noticed.

However now, the room has a objective and character.

The daring stripes on the accent partitions draw you in and intensify the peak of the ceiling, which makes a press release of its personal with the gentle LED lights filtering by way of the sheer drapes. This ceiling makes it clear this room is designed for leisure.

After all, the customized day mattress suits in completely with that scheme. It’s easy, comfy, and enhances the striped wall behind it. The dresser-turned-bar provides a pop of coloration to the room and pays homage to Robin’s mom whereas it serves a really sensible objective.
