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.
