Before + After: An Attic Becomes A Low-Cal + Airy Invitee Bedroom

I'm into tricky spaces at the 2d - too honey seeing how they tin hold upwardly transformed. Today's make-over sees a cramped attic infinite inwards an 1800s farmhouse inwards the Catskills transformed into a lovely, vivid too airy invitee bedroom. The solid is owned past times florist turned author Lisa Przystup too married adult man Jonathan Linaberry too used equally a weekend retreat; a perfect recess from a to a greater extent than hectic life inwards Brooklyn, New York. The tools? Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 lick of paint, a alternative of charming slice of furniture too to a greater extent than or less delightful accessories. In other words - completely cosmetic too non costing the globe either! So, if you've got a spot inwards your domicile that's currently total of materials (don't worry, nosotros all convey one!) I intend you'll detect this hands on DIY make-over genuinely inspiring!

Before

The attic was already inwards quite skillful status when the distich acquired the solid too simply needed uncomplicated updates similar clearing out the clobber, a fresh coat pigment on the flooring too walls too to a greater extent than or less pretty pieces! 

Honestly - this is nowhere close the total of materials nosotros currently convey inwards our attic - inwards fact, my married adult man too I would hold upwardly congratulating ourselves if our storage looked similar this! But still, it's non quite invitee chamber ready! 

After

The pair wanted to decease along the backdrop monochromatic to friction match the hold back too experience of the residue of the home. They painted the floors inwards Tricorn Black too the walls inwards Extra White past times Sherwin-Williams. 

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 uncomplicated this bedroom she designed). Magic Linen is a dandy source for linen bedding* similar this! 

Although pared-back, the chamber has a lot of charm thank yous to the blend of erstwhile too novel - similar this chest-of-drawers left behind past times the previous owners too a to a greater extent than contemporary leather too brass chair.  The chest-of-drawers is also perfect for guests staying a fiddling longer, my Mother e'er says "you've never genuinely arrived somewhere until you've unpacked."

Every invitee room needs a fiddling mirror too side tabular array too these friction match perfectly against the primal pillar. Feathers too other items establish inwards the Catskills serve equally a wonderful reminder of the fantastic nature on their doorstep (I was lucky plenty to take in the Catskills for my mass The Scandinavian Home too I've been wanting to supply ever since, it's a magical place!). 

The room is entered via this beautiful reclaimed door which was already inwards identify when they bought the house. They deliberately left it equally it was inwards club to brand it a feature. The folding chairs belonged to 1 of their grandfathers too serve equally extra seating when guests come upwardly to remain (source similar vintage ones here*). 

Wow! So simple, yet too thence lovely! 

I'm already wondering if nosotros should in conclusion practice something amongst our attic infinite - or fifty-fifty somewhere else inwards the home. 

Are yous feeling inspired too?! 

I commencement spotted this wonderful make-over on Remodelista (read to a greater extent than almost the room too run across to a greater extent than pictures here).
