The DilemmaSam Kivett discusses the challenges in the room with design coordinators Summer Baltzer and Charles Burbridge. They decide to replace the dated dressers, bring in additional pieces to store the clothes and books that are currently crowding the room, warm up the white walls and come up with a window treatment that will enhance rather than hide the French doors.
The SolutionHere's how the design team transforms the bland bedroom for under $1,000:
- The walls are painted a soft green color.
- The storage issue solved with a dark-stained armoire, two nightstands and a bench Kivett purchased at a hotel liquidator. Burbridge finds two unfinished dressers and stains them to match. Kivett adds a shelf to the inside of the armoire to hold the 19-inch television.
