I say in progress because this room seriously needs some stuff on the walls. But it's been re-painted (it was a crazy brown/purple color before) and the furniture arrangement is settled.
Here are two before photos taken the day I moved in :
(Remember that ladder goes up to the storage space/hideout.)
I am using the big mirrored closet for mostly open storage.
And because I can't remove it, the ladder is turning into a garden of sorts. I am hoping to get it completely filled with green (real) plants. The bookshelf and table surface against the ladder wall are acting as a packing/shipping space. Once again, my peg board is a life saver.
The opposite wall is a workspace. I clearly need more frames in addition to more plants. The camera art is from 20x200.
The I think I can art is from this etsy shop. The small wooden crates holding the plants were purchased years ago at a craft store and then stained. They hung on the wall in our last apartment. All furniture (including that rug) is from Ikea.
And that's it! I am going to get another big wall calendar to hang on that wall next to the window. I am sure it will continue to get cluttered up as time passes. ps : I bet you can guess what my word for 2012 is going to be...
