Changing a Spare Room into a Diva Den

This week, we’re transforming a dull eating place into a diva den.

Home-owner Robin Stafford has not used this room for dining considering the fact that she moved into her dwelling, so we’re likely to change it into a exceptional room for her to relax and unwind with her daughter. 

Paint Accent Wall

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

Initially, we remove the chair rail so the home looks as significant as it feels.

Following, we patch the nail holes with drywall mud.

After all the holes are filled, we set a refreshing coat of paint on the wall.

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

For the stripe colors, we’re going with tan and white. To make portray much 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 put, we use the wall coloration to seal off the tape so none of our stripe color receives beneath.

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

Transform Dresser to Bar

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

We clear away the base two drawers to develop a large bottom shelf for bottles. Then, we take out the large best center drawer and change that space into a wine rack. 

We retain the top rated aspect drawers for storage space. 

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

Following, we reuse the wood on what utilised to be the back of this dresser as the finished inside of our bottom cupboard.

To preserve it in position with out applying a bunch of nails, we use Titebond Unique Wooden Glue. 

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

Put in Ceiling Drape and LED Lights

To give this diva den a enjoyable lounge come to feel, we’re draping some sheer chiffon curtains at the top of this tall ceiling for a cabana sense. 

To get this influence, we used 3 curtains and nailed the panels to the ceiling.

For some fun lighting, we mounted LED mild tape alongside the ceiling. These lights adjust shade with the click on of a button. 

We also:

• Designed a working day mattress
• Extra shelves
• Spray-painted planter gold
• Spray-painted wall plates

Write-up-Creation Ideas

Robin’s formal eating area had great pure light, tall ceilings and a great deal of area, but it had no authentic purpose. So, it grew to become a capture-all for home furnishings that had no other household. Simply because it was right up coming to the entrance doorway, it was the extremely first detail her company observed.

But now, the home has a goal and persona.

The daring stripes on the accent partitions draw you in and intensify the height of the ceiling, which tends to make a assertion of its individual with the delicate LED lights filtering as a result of the sheer drapes. This ceiling helps make it obvious this space is built for leisure.

Of course, the tailor made working day bed fits in correctly with that scheme. It’s very simple, cozy, and enhances the striped wall powering it. The dresser-turned-bar adds a pop of color to the place and pays homage to Robin’s mom although it serves a incredibly functional reason.
