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.

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!
