I like the idea. It's a great way to bring in a bold pattern you like but not overwhelm it. Some people use the area for storage and some prefer to have nothing up there because of the dust that accumulates. This would definitely only work if you don't plan on putting stuff up there. And you can use any wallpaper pattern or color, so if you wanted something more calming, you could find a more neutral paper.

It's certainly beautiful, I love the Victorian architecture. The after looks like gray and white, so I think maybe it's the lighting or angles. I really loved the before though.

I definitely think you can find an in-between option. I'm sure his is comfy but sooo ugly and yours is very elegant but does not look comfy. Ikea's Karlstad leather sofa might be a good option. I've sat on it and it's very comfortable. It has the lower arms for him, a little tufting for you. Help Settle Sofa War? Good Questions |

I just decided to do this yesterday with my baby nephew to give as a Christmas gift to his parents. That way, they'll see what he looked like each month of the previous year. Kind of a fun way to track his growth. I missed January, but it's close enough they won't know. Project Planning: Start Making an Annual Gift Calendar Now |

Think about what it is you are lacking in your home. You said the space was a catch-all for clutter, so do you need more storage space? You could put a console table w/ drawers or an armoire with hidden storage. Or put a bench for extra seating when you have a lot of guests. I also like the built in bookshelf idea above, and you could frame the cutout with molding so it looks truly built in and charming. It has tons of potential, but it's a little hard to guess what you might need in your home based on the one pic. Removed 80's Wet Bar - Now What? Good Questions |

I always love the moroccan tiles Genevieve Gorder uses on her HGTV show. I just wish I knew where to find them. She incorporates them so well into any style kitchen and they have some great color. Moroccan-Inspired Tiles in the Kitchen |

I, too, am curious about the ownership of the land. Is it a guest house or what? Also, I'm curious, since much of the parts were custom-made, was it still a deal financially vs. buying a small property with all the parts already done?

Jessman's idea to line up a pair of shoes from front to back instead of side to side is good if it fits them. Otherwise, how about about midway between each shelf, put a shelf that's half the depth from the back wall. So you have a pair of shoes on this half shelf in the back and they are visible and other pairs on the lower shelf. And again, if 2 shoes will fit front to back, you can line them like that on the lower shelf so it fits more shoes and on the half shelf put them side by side.

I differ from the crowd, I think just a bunch of white would be boring. How about teal or eggplant purple. I would bring some white in to lighten the room, maybe some sheer white curtains or something with a mix of white and color.

I redecorated my mom's guest room using 99% of things found around the house and garage. All I bought was some paint, a chair cushion and some cheap little stuff for a couple DIY projects. It made the room much more attractive and functional for guests. Un-Shopping: Tips for Using What You Already Own |
