A room that used to be hidden in clutter is now a neatly organized yet cozy living area fit for entertaining or relaxing.
The sitting area is now warm and welcoming. The couch, sporting a fresh camel-colored slipcover, has been pulled away from the wall to free up space. A new coffee table and rug make great accent pieces.The surfboards are hung on the loft wall and his favorite jersey on the adjacent wall. New bamboo blinds in a rich brown color complement the color scheme that organizer Liz Witts has established.
An entertainment center with plenty of shelves for media storage and room above to display more memorabilia is incorporated into the new layout.
