After: Sleek and Organized
All the mismatched furniture is replaced with contemporary wood furniture with glass and stainless accents. The room is painted light gray with a dark gray accent wall behind the entertainment unit.
Now the area has plenty of storage for DVDs down low, and sleek stainless wall racks hold a large CD collection. The dark gray wall provides a cool accent for the room.
The elliptical trainer goes into the bedroom, and the old couch is replaced with a new couch that converts into a bed. The collectibles are sorted, and those not chosen for display are carefully wrapped and stored. The closet is organized with large clear plastic bins on wheels.
The new desk is full of storage and computer space, while the glass-door cabinet above holds collectibles.
The finished room reflects Burstein's fun personality and has a sleek, masculine look.
