Now that I am done with my reno I have turned my attention to my photography.
The shelving folds back so the bed could be pulled down.
I love the fact you can fold the bed up with all the bedding still on the bed and it stays intact. It has a belt that straps the bedding down so it won't move when the bed is folded up. I also screwed a picture to the wall so it won't move when the bed is closed.
The Cisco Kid's work table is folded down to allow for walking space.
We built a counter top inside the closet and the Chief put some electric in there for all my electronics. I put up a florescent light because it was a very dark area. I also put the peg board above the counter so I could have everything at arms reach. All my scrapbooking and craft supplies are readily available without me searching throughout the house for them.
When I designed this room I made sure I was able to store everything away easily and conveniently so when the bed was down nothing was in the way.
I needed a table to work on and I had a drop leaf table that fits perfectly under the counter for easy storage. Now I don't have to worry about putting away a scrapbook in progress if we should get sleep over guests. I just simply push the table under the counter and it will be just fine until I am ready to get back to it.
This corner is all my paints, gift wrapping supplies, sewing machine and fabrics.
I love this is an electric fireplace/heater. This room seems to be the coldest room in the house. I was in Lowes and saw these Fire places and thought it was a perfect solution to warm up the room. What I love most about it is you can run the fire without the heater. This gives my space a real cozy and comfortable feel all year long.
The shelves are from Target and they are called Shabby Bookshelves. They are great for storing more of my Scrapbooking supplies. Because the Chief knows how much I love TV, he got me one to complete my space. 
Here are some before and after photos.

I would love to hear what you think about the transformation of this room.
What a great transformation!
ReplyDeleteI am so jealous! Can you come do mine next?! Pretty please? It looks great!
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so glad to finally see the finished results! It is amazing what you did to this room. So completely functional and yet still very charming for you and your sleepover guests to enjoy when its not a work room. The color is very pretty, and I love it with the new white shelving and your black floral chair and ottoman. The work space in the closet is fabulous, and even better know TCK has his own space to work right along with you on his fold-down table. The first thing I didn't get when I saw the pictures was what do you do with all of the pretty things you have on your shelves when the bed comes down, but that Murphy Bed is so cool that the shelves just fold out to the side...ingenius! I LOVE IT! You all did a great job of making the room so much more usuable and creative. Thumbs up!
ReplyDeleteWhat a amazing job...You thought of everything. Such great detail went into that room. The Murphy bed is so smart. Enjoy your new space.
ReplyDeleteWOW! You packed a whole lot into this room and still maintained spaciousness and complete comfort. I can't believe that you even got a fireplace in there as well as a TV. Love the cozy feel of your big chair with the drop leaf pulled out and the fireplace in front of it all. The murphy bed was a great pick with all the shelving -- truly a well disguised functional piece. The whole room turned out great! I was thrilled to see you gave us so many photos to catch every angle as well as the before and after shots. To sum it all up, I would just have to say it's another fine examaple of Marianne Magic!
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Marianne you all did a great job! The functionality of the room is so well thought out. I love that guests can feel so cozy with a nice fireplace!! Such a nice touch...
