Teen Loft: Before and Afters

As an update to a previous post Teen room is no longer child's play, I mentioned that we took out the TV from the bedroom and placed in the Teen Loft. Now the dilemma with this bonus room is that there are essentially NO WALLS.

Imagine standing facing the main windows against the "back wall" (pictured) the 'wall' to the right is basically all French doors overlooking a central court yard. The 'wall' from the point from which I am standing that should be behind me is actually open to the main hallway of the entire upstairs with entrances to the master bedroom and 2 guest bedrooms. The 'wall' which should be to the left is an open staircase railing and has yet another door to a 4th guest bedroom.... So with NO walls, where do you put a TV, couch, desk, table, etc???? AND still be able to view the TV without glare from the windows, or have heat from the sun?

Problems solved! Take a look at the before and afters!

Before it was a hodge-podge of mismatched furniture. The old couch was against the back 'wall' facing the room, desk was just floating in the middle of the room and the computer was on a whicker stool.

Here is the NEW ROOM, with a sequence of how to watch TV and play video games.

A new couch now anchors the room with a computer / study desk behind it for the computer.

A WI and glass coffe table keeps things looking airy; and with a touch of a remote,

the center blind comes down, and the TV comes up!

Cathy & Cindy ~ Thank you, I'm glad you like it as much as I do!

Patty & Abby ~ I wish I had taken a better picture of the couch, but from the front angle shot you don't see much other than the couch and the hallway behind it. Thank you!

Kathy ~ I love those units as well and they are perfect for rooms such as these. Especially when it is such a "pass through" area. Thanks for stopping by!

Michele ~This is Mom's favorite room of the house now. Everyone can watch TV, (she can see what all the "teens" are doing) and she's not embarrassed when guests come over because now there is a place for everyone to relax in style. =)

Wendy ~ Thank you - you are too kind!

Lisa ~Thank you for stopping by!
