Transition Room »

Since my mom has finished her degree that she has been diligently working on for the last few years, she has had more time for creative work. She has been really into recovering furniture, making pillows, and painting, so she thought the spare bedroom would be a great place for a craft/sewing room. This room was my sister’s, then it was a spare, and now my mom will get to use it as a little studio. Exciting!

Here are my mom’s requirements:

1. a ceiling fan
2. a modern feel
3. paint the ceiling
4. use the color teal
5. grandkids may need to sleep in this room when they are in town, so it needs to be somewhat kiddie-proof.

So here’s the room as it looks now (she recently disassembled the bed, painted it, and moved it into the guest room):

and here is the inspiration board I put together for her:

white desk with large surface area for cutting, doing her calligraphy, or other crafts. {ikea}

blue milk crates for storage in the closet, easy to organize {target}

smaller storage boxes for tabletop storage {ikea}

branch hooks for fun, to hang trim, measuring tape, etc. {urban outfitters}

wallflower decals because color and free-form shapes are always inspiring in a creative space {urban outfitters}

tear drop chandelier to make it special, pretty, fun, and to have light over the sewing machine. {urban outfitters}

wall shelf to keep supplies out of reach for little ones. {ikea}

pillar candles: modern and moody {crate and barrell}

the fainting sofa in black and white would look great with the teal walls, and make the room comfortable. {urban outfitters}

green chair for the work desk {crate and barrell}

modern ceiling fan with exposed wood echoing exposed wood of the wall shelves {lowes}

pillows to add color and comfort {etsy}
I think the room transformation is going to start this weekend - I’ll keep you posted!
