Old World Lounge An undefined room is transformed into an Old World lounge. Design on a Dime : Episode DOD-2408 -- More Projects »
 After: Mediterranean Lounge
The Solution
Now there's plenty of seating and a "come-in-and-put-your-feet-up" attitude in the room. The daybed (at left, in front of window) provides a cozy place to curl up with a book and cup of tea during the day. Extra seating and a refurbished bar cabinet (center, next to door) provide the raw materials for a casual evening party with friends. Warm-colored tones on the walls complement the tile floor and give the space its Old World charm.See how you too can rework an old cabinet, with these step-by-step instructions.
