Sophisticated Boy's Bedroom

I was so excited to work on this nice young man's bedroom. My client is 14 years old and a little on the mature side.  I had to create a space that he could grow up in.  The idea was a mature teenager's room with some elements of fun; check out the before and after photos.

Before

Mid way: 

Painted single stripe around the room

After! 

Check out my custom pieces. I made a custom upholstered cornice above the window. Totally a coincidence that the fabric matched the stripe around the room (nice how these things come together).  I also made the decorative headboard. I wanted it to look like a big domino.  I was sold on the bedding with all the colors, smiley faces, and text abbreviations.  It couldn't have been a better bed set than this for a teenager.

Functional desk space: White board, magnet board, industrial desk lamp and decorative wall light. Lots of storage space for school work and books.

I had to opportunity to try a lot of new things in this room. The headboard and cornice was a first, can't lie, I was a little scared but it all came together. I installed a shelf in the closet (not shown) and new window blinds.

Each project has been a great learning experience and I'm challenging myself to do more and express more in my designs.  Next up I have another bathroom project! Check back for that next month.
