Changing a Spare Room into a Diva Den

This week, we’re transforming a dull dining area into a diva den.

Property owner Robin Stafford has not applied this room for eating given that she moved into her house, so we’re going to switch it into a exclusive place for her to take it easy and unwind with her daughter. 

Paint Accent Wall

To build a focal issue for the room, we paint a vertical striped accent wall. The vertical stripes draw your eyes up the wall and get in touch with awareness to the tall ceiling.

First, we get rid of the chair rail so the space appears to be like as large as it feels.

Subsequent, we patch the nail holes with drywall mud.

Right after all the holes are filled, we put a new coat of paint on the wall.

Following, we measure out the width of our stripes and mark the lines with a pencil. Then, we use a stage to generate straight vertical strains for the tape to go more than. we tape our vertical stripes on the wall. 

For the stripe colors, we’re heading with tan and white. To make painting less complicated, we mark the slats for the tan stripes with an “x.” 

We use painter’s tape to mark off the stripes on the wall. Following the tape is in location, we use the wall coloration to seal off the tape so none of our stripe color will get underneath.

We then apply two coats of our stripe shade and remove the painter’s tape. 

Transform Dresser to Bar

Robin has a dresser she inherited from her mother that we’re able to reuse and reconfigure for a bar.

We take away the base two drawers to create a significant bottom shelf for bottles. Then, we acquire out the large top rated center drawer and convert that space into a wine rack. 

We preserve the major side drawers for storage place. 

We take away the bottom rails that dived of the old bottom drawers with an oscillating saw.

Upcoming, we reuse the wooden on what utilised to be the back again of this dresser as the completed inside of our base cabinet.

To continue to keep it in location without having working with a bunch of nails, we use Titebond Unique Wood Glue. 

Soon after we reconfigure the dresser into a bar, we primary and paint it a new enjoyable colour.

Set up Ceiling Drape and LED Lights

To give this diva den a stress-free lounge come to feel, we’re draping some sheer chiffon curtains at the major of this tall ceiling for a cabana really feel. 

To get this outcome, we utilised a few curtains and nailed the panels to the ceiling.

For some entertaining lights, we put in LED mild tape together the ceiling. These lights adjust coloration with the click of a button. 

We also:

• Crafted a working day bed
• Included shelves
• Spray-painted planter gold
• Spray-painted wall plates

Put up-Generation Ideas

Robin’s formal dining area had terrific organic light, tall ceilings and loads of space, but it experienced no real goal. So, it turned a catch-all for home furniture that experienced no other property. For the reason that it was appropriate future to the front doorway, it was the pretty initially detail her visitors saw.

But now, the room has a goal and character.

The daring stripes on the accent walls draw you in and intensify the height of the ceiling, which will make a statement of its personal with the comfortable LED lights filtering as a result of the sheer drapes. This ceiling makes it crystal clear this area is made for leisure.

Of course, the tailor made day mattress fits in completely with that scheme. It’s straightforward, comfy, and enhances the striped wall guiding it. The dresser-turned-bar adds a pop of colour to the room and pays homage to Robin’s mother whilst it serves a extremely realistic function.
