Changing a Spare Room into a Diva Den

This 7 days, we’re reworking a dull eating place into a diva den.

Property owner Robin Stafford hasn’t used this area for eating considering that she moved into her house, so we’re likely to transform it into a exclusive place for her to loosen up and unwind with her daughter. 

Paint Accent Wall

To build a focal level for the area, we paint a vertical striped accent wall. The vertical stripes draw your eyes up the wall and phone interest to the tall ceiling.

1st, we take away the chair rail so the area appears as massive as it feels.

Upcoming, we patch the nail holes with drywall mud.

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

Future, we measure out the width of our stripes and mark the traces with a pencil. Then, we use a stage to build straight vertical strains for the tape to go about. we tape our vertical stripes on the wall. 

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

We use painter’s tape to mark off the stripes on the wall. Right after the tape is in spot, we use the wall shade to seal off the tape so none of our stripe shade gets underneath.

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

Change Dresser to Bar

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

We take away the bottom two drawers to generate a substantial bottom shelf for bottles. Then, we take out the large leading middle drawer and convert that space into a wine rack. 

We continue to keep the top rated facet drawers for storage area. 

We take out the base rails that dived of the old bottom drawers with an oscillating noticed.

Next, we reuse the wooden on what employed to be the back again of this dresser as the concluded within of our base cabinet.

To continue to keep it in spot devoid of using a bunch of nails, we use Titebond Unique Wooden Glue. 

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

Install Ceiling Drape and LED Lights

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

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

For some enjoyable lights, we installed LED light tape alongside the ceiling. These lights alter color with the simply click of a button. 

We also:

• Crafted a working day mattress
• Included cabinets
• Spray-painted planter gold
• Spray-painted wall plates

Put up-Production Views

Robin’s official eating space experienced fantastic normal light, tall ceilings and a good deal of space, but it experienced no genuine objective. So, it became a catch-all for home furniture that experienced no other residence. Due to the fact it was suitable future to the front doorway, it was the pretty first point her visitors noticed.

But now, the space has a reason and temperament.

The daring stripes on the accent partitions attract you in and intensify the height of the ceiling, which helps make a assertion of its possess with the comfortable LED lights filtering as a result of the sheer drapes. This ceiling tends to make it clear this room is made for leisure.

Of system, the custom made working day bed fits in completely with that scheme. It’s straightforward, cozy, and enhances the striped wall powering it. The dresser-turned-bar adds a pop of shade to the area and pays homage to Robin’s mother though it serves a really useful reason.
