Changing a Spare Room into a Diva Den

This 7 days, we’re reworking a dull eating place into a diva den.

Property owner Robin Stafford hasn’t utilised this space for dining given that she moved into her property, so we’re likely to change it into a unique place for her to chill out and unwind with her daughter. 

Paint Accent Wall

To produce a focal stage for the space, we paint a vertical striped accent wall. The vertical stripes attract your eyes up the wall and connect with awareness to the tall ceiling.

Initially, we clear away the chair rail so the space appears to be like as massive as it feels.

Subsequent, we patch the nail holes with drywall mud.

Right after all the holes are stuffed, we put a new coat of paint on the wall.

Up coming, we measure out the width of our stripes and mark the traces with a pencil. Then, we use a amount to make straight vertical strains for the tape to go in excess of. we tape our vertical stripes on the wall. 

For the stripe shades, we’re likely with tan and white. To make painting less complicated, we mark the slats for the tan stripes with an “x.” 

We use painter’s tape to mark off the stripes on the wall. Right after the tape is in area, we use the wall shade to seal off the tape so none of our stripe color will get underneath.

We then implement two coats of our stripe shade and get rid of the painter’s tape. 

Change Dresser to Bar

Robin has a dresser she inherited from her mother that we’re able to reuse and reconfigure for a bar.

We eliminate the bottom two drawers to develop a large base shelf for bottles. Then, we get out the massive top rated center drawer and change that room into a wine rack. 

We retain the best facet drawers for storage area. 

We take out the bottom rails that dived of the old base drawers with an oscillating saw.

Future, we reuse the wooden on what employed to be the back of this dresser as the completed inside of of our bottom cabinet.

To preserve it in area with out making use of a bunch of nails, we use Titebond Primary Wooden Glue. 

Soon after we reconfigure the dresser into a bar, we key and paint it a new exciting shade.

Set up Ceiling Drape and LED Lights

To give this diva den a stress-free lounge feel, we’re draping some sheer chiffon curtains at the leading of this tall ceiling for a cabana truly feel. 

To get this effect, we used three curtains and nailed the panels to the ceiling.

For some exciting lights, we installed LED mild tape together the ceiling. These lights modify color with the click of a button. 

We also:

• Constructed a day mattress
• Extra cabinets
• Spray-painted planter gold
• Spray-painted wall plates

Publish-Output Ideas

Robin’s formal dining area experienced good all-natural light, tall ceilings and a great deal of area, but it experienced no real function. So, it became a capture-all for furnishings that experienced no other property. Simply because it was ideal future to the front door, it was the quite first factor her attendees saw.

But now, the place has a intent and identity.

The bold stripes on the accent partitions draw you in and accentuate the top of the ceiling, which can make a assertion of its individual with the delicate LED lights filtering via the sheer drapes. This ceiling helps make it very clear this room is designed for peace.

Of class, the custom made day bed fits in beautifully with that plan. It is uncomplicated, comfy, and complements the striped wall driving it. The dresser-turned-bar adds a pop of shade to the room and pays homage to Robin’s mother while it serves a incredibly sensible reason.
