This plain dark basement bedroom needed some serious help!

Every angle shows just how boring and dark this bedroom was.

With only a couple of hundred dollars we made a big impact. We refinished some old furniture and found some inexpensive finishes, but the impact was fabulous!

I love the custom made headboard we added to this creative space.

This image shows how a little organizing and creativity can change boring cluttered shelves into sometime fun and exciting!

With a lack of storage and mix of pinks and purples this room needed help to suit the growing young lady who lived there.

Cute when she was four, the 10 year old had really outgrown the motif she chose back then.

With increased storage, new paint and a lot of reorganization this room really suits the young lady now.

My client's favorite part of her new room was the custom made headboard, which we were able to make for less than $200!

The bright blue in this deck didn't work with the more neutral colours around it. The table and chairs were much too big to make the space useful.

With a smaller table and chairs and more neutral colour scheme this deck has been used more since the renovation than it was in the last five years! The rug and plant stand add a more indoor feel to the space. Plus while my client was painting she received complements from her neighbours on the colour choice!

This room only had storage issues!

With a small twin bed the little man in this room was going to have his feet dangling off the end of the bed before he finished growing!

A large double bed replaced the small twin. More gown up bedding in his favorite colour was changed to give the room a playful but more grown up feel.

Storage boxes were added to manage some of the clutter. The bed has a storage drawer at the end to store useful items without taking any extra space.

This desk had seen much better days. It couldn't even stand on it's own anymore!

I split the desk in two. I detached the middle drawer from the desk and turned it on it's side to create a compost storage area. A ceramic tile in faux granite was added to make the top easy to clean and leg were added to make it taller. The inside is a great place to store compost bags out of sight, but still easily accessible.

The second half of the desk was turned into a night stand. I added a little colour to make it pop. I was able to salvage one of the drawer pulls from the original and reattach it to keep the art deco feel. Two new art deco inspired drawer pulls were added to the other two drawers.

Adding some extra art and reframing the old art makes sense for this space. The dressers as nightstands and the lighter paint makes the room look wider. Extra bonus the new curtains help keep the light and noise down.
