Before / After Case Study:

( Move mouse over picture for after )

This bedroom had been thrown together after moving in and never reorganized. Before addSpace arrived items were frequently added to the large shelf without thought and the closets were underutilized. We decided to give it our full attention and turn the entire bedroom into a refuge.

After removing the items that did not belong in the bedroom, we created groupings of objects on the large shelf. The most treasured books were kept on the bottom shelf and the others moved out to the living room.

The bed and carpet was turned 90 degrees so that there was room to move around the room. Panels of colored fabric were added to the windows and walls to create a more relaxing environment.

The dresser was moved and reconfigured with an additional shelf from another part of the house. We used a small open shelf to keep sweaters within arms reach. The closet was reconfigured and after reorganizing, all of the clothes fit inside with room to spare!

Before / After Case Study:

( Move mouse over picture for after )

Challenge:
This space was turned into a bedroom when the owner’s dog became too weak to get up the stairs to the master’s bedroom. After having slept at the end of her bed all of its life, the owner felt that she needed to move her bed downstairs to be with her beloved companion.

Solution:
This den was a makeshift bedroom until I redesigned the space and repositioned the furniture. Moving the bed into a semi-secluded nook, and adding a partition for a headboard and another to add privacy created a private bedroom. We also brought in dresser drawers from upstairs.

We began by purging excess books and collectibles. Some were donated to charity and memories were placed into plastic storage bins. We kept the built-in shelves intact in case the house is sold. They served as handy side shelves to surround the bed with favorite books.

Bedroom#1 Before and After

Kids Bedroom Before and After

Your bedroom is your refuge away from the busy life you lead throughout your waking hours. This area should be a haven of peace and tranquility. Everyone needs a space to decompress and forget about the affairs of the world and their busy daily schedule.

The bedroom is the most natural space to unwind, have privacy and spend moments “doing a bunch of nothing” as I like to say. This is the room to sleep and rejuvenate for the next day of your busy life.

There is no room for clutter in the bedroom. Your bedroom should only contain items that help you prepare for the day, clothes etc and items to help you unwind at the end of the day. This sacred space is crucial to your well-being and attitude.

Get started and take a look around your bedroom. Discard or relocate the items that don’t belong in this room. Bring in items that you love to look at to help you to unwind and become restful. When you are finished clearing your clutter and reorganizing, paint the walls a new color and enjoy in your new-found refuge!

“Kathi was indispensable. She changed the whole feel of my home and I’m not afraid to come home anymore. I knew I wanted to change but didn’t know how to start. She gave us the jump-start and the direction we needed. She rocks!”
