These are two pictures of a "before" on a third floor project we are working on. The rooms were last painted 14 years ago when the family moved in. The older son has been living up here and is now moving out to be with his fiance. The client wants to make it warmer and cozier and have her daughter move in for awhile after she graduates from college this year and before she gets her own apartment. Then it will be a guest area and bedroom for her son and soon-to-be daughter-in-law when they come back to visit, hopefully with grandchildren. We are going to carpet the stairs coming up from the second floor so it is more inviting. The carpet is a beautiful chocolate brown moroccan pattern named "Kasbah" For the 2 bedrooms we are binding some soft sisal-look carpeting. The closets are very small so she needs storage but the walls curve so quickly you can't have any high dressers. We have our eye on a couple West Elm 6 drawer low dressers for the big room. The client has an old wood sleigh bed (from the 80's) that has been in storage so we will resurrect that and hope it looks vintage. For the small room we will use the foot of a brass bed as the headboard (also in the client's attic). The third floor should be done in May so more pics then.
