Home office to guest room in 72 hours flat

We just completed a three day renovation of a home office to a guest room.  Paint, built-ins, and a murphy bed!  Here are a few in process pix and the after photos.  The space has three primary functions and a slew of secondary ones.  We needed to keep the space as a semi-functional home office as well as adding storage for a ton of art supplies and getting a decent sleeping space for guests.  We've created an art studio and study space with tons of natural light.  All needs were met and installed in record time!






On a side note (and I'll write a longer post about this later):  You needn't fear dark colors in a small room!  This room is 9 x10 and I chose a dark rich brown for three walls and a grey/blue for the space by the bed.  The notion that dark colors make a room small causes too many people to fear deeper tones in their spaces. In many many cases, there's no real need for a room to look spacious.  Our goal was comfort and intimacy here.  Spaciousness does not lend itself well to that.
