One Room Challenge | Week 1: Revealing the Space & Plans | Office/Guest Room Combo

I am excited to join my first one room challenge, which kicks off today!  For this challenge I am renovating a room in my house that I haven’t touched since we moved in.  I mean...there is still a wallpaper border up and green carpet.  This space has been a combination of a non functional office and storage area.

I plan to transform this space into a FUNCTIONAL office area as well as a guest room.  This room will mainly be an office, but will have a sofa bed, which will allow us to easily switch this room over to a guest room when needed.  

This room already has some hidden gems, with which I plan to bring back some beauty.  This room is one of the brightest rooms in my home, with a lot of natural light, which makes this room a cheerful & bright space where I want to spend a lot of time, especially in the winter months!  Underneath the old fashioned green carpet is REAL wood flooring.  I can’t wait to rip up the carpet and bring some life back into the floors. 

Mood board for this room:

Planned additions to this room:

Phase 1:

• Spray paint the inside window frame black

• Adding a brick accent wall & painting this white

• Painting all remaining walls a very light gray

• Ripping up the carpet & bringing some beauty back to the wood floors underneath 

• Adding faux vertical beams on each side of the accent wall

• Hanging two indoor (homemade) macrame swings & adding comfy cushions

• Adding a large accent rug

• Adding a sofa bed couch for easy transition to guest room

Phase 2...creating a functional closet desk! Stay tuned for these plans! 

Below are some before pictures. I can't wait to start making this space unrecognizable!
