Sitting Area

Finally getting these up to show you all!!!

  

This is the attic sitting area 

off the master bedroom.

It is located at the top

of the stairs.

I added this chest bought at 

an estate sale... great storage too.

It was painted yellow 

and I distressed it

by scraping off the yellow

with a razor blade 

to expose the green paint.

Behind you can see we added a 

cubby for storage.

I have the dresser on slides 

in case I need access.

The windows are odd being so high,

but I wanted to draw your eye up.

Turns out the length is the same

as standard tablecloths.

I bought these plaid

tablecloths from Kohl's

and added drapery ring 

clips on rods.

 This is my temporary way to furnish the space...using things I had in my home.

I want to add a love seat

here so it could be a movie area for 

my husband and I.

There is cable all set to 

add a little TV on the 

shelf across from the chair.

I got this braided round 

rug from an antique store,

but have decided I am going 

to do something different

and sell this one.  

Want it to be a little 

plainer....nice to live 

with it though.

Helped to make up my mind...

the shape is perfect though.   

 This is the future home for the TV.

 This is framed rice paper 

for a little art.

Stole the bench from 

the front porch.

 Made sure when planning 

this area that a standard 

love seat would fit 

across from TV.

I have my eye on an 

IKEA one that has a slipcover 

when my cash flow improves. 

 These french doors lead into the master bedroom.  I added 

linen drapes that 

look good from both sides.

Being in a bungalow,

I wanted to add more of a prairie

style door...found all the doors at 

a builders surplus store. 

 The other side has bookshelves 

to mirror the other side.

 Just added things I have for now, 

but lots of tweaking to come.  

I have so much 

more space with 

this renovation...feel like 

I moved and settling 

in all over again...

My goal now is to SIT 

in the SITTING area!

Someday!
