I am really surprised that anyone prefers the 'before' in #1; all that dark cabinetry, busy wallpaper, and dark-grouted tile countertops? I thought the 'after' was lovely.

Hooray for bookmarks: I just (finally!) did this and it is an amazing improvement!

Wow! I can think of several circumstances that would make this a fine place to live. It's not hard to imagine sharing a bathroom and perpetually eating out in NYC.

If this were just an "extra" room in a bigger place, he wouldn't have had to manoeuvre the plywood sheets around inside it; he could have built his bed/couch in a larger space in the house/apartment and moved it in when it was finished. I doubt anyone would use this tiny space as a workshop unless he absolutely had to!

The doors across from the couch could lead to anything; there could be a closet or a bathroom, or they could be left over from a time when this room was accessible from another, but blocked off now.

The post at Life in the Fun Lane mentions falling through the ceiling (not a wall).

Even their "before" closet is gigantic compared to the one in my 1969 condo, but if I had a bigger closet, I'd probably just fill it up with more stuff; it's safer for me to keep a little one!
