Before and After: Study and Bonus Room

So since our Townhouse is a 3 bedroom and we only really need one at the moment we wanted to make one into a study for Kyle and the other into a bonus room for me (a place to practice and for my desk; I'm actually sitting at the desk now as I type this). I really enjoy spending time in here because the large window looks out over the bay. Right now it's a sunny day and I can start to see tiny buds on the bare tree branches, Spring isn't too far away now! So anyway I digress, onto the photos!

Bonus Room Before...

and now!

It's nice to have my own space in the house to hunker away and play my clarinet or work on my computer. My red cabinet houses all of my music and various clarinet supplies/reeds. Just picture me sitting in that chair for hours playing tedious scales and arpeggios over and over and over and over (well, you get the idea...). The desk towards the back corner of the room is where I like to blog and email. I used to work downstairs in the living room but the TV was always distracting. In here I just have my music and/or books on tape which I find very relaxing. I even like the fact that the walls are somewhat bare. It adds to the creative process or something lol. 

Here is Kyle's study before...

And now!

I didn't have much say about the decor in this room but Kyle had enough LEGOs to fill all the shelves and bookcases in here no problem lol. Our kitties enjoy snoozing on Kyle's leather office chair in the evenings when we are downstairs being loud :-). I like that when Kyle is studying I can be loud downstairs without bothering him.

So those are the main rooms all filled up with furniture! Hope you enjoyed the mini tour!!!

Until Next Time I'll be gazing out the window on the bay...

Before and After: Bedroom

So the empty bedroom......

And the bedroom with a bed in it!!!!!

haha (not that much more to it!)

Before and After: Living Room

So here it is, after all this time, the moment you have all been waiting for!

::drumroll please::

Here is the Town home living room before....

And TA DA!!!!!!

Much homier no?

the couch which is straight ahead is our new purchase that was delivered last week. It is kinda a mini sectional with a three cushion couch attached to a chaise. It's SUPER comfortable. I still am planning on drapes for the windows to the right, I guess I just don't really realize how bare they look until I stare at a picture of the space haha. 

So anyone know what I'm watching on the TV? (it's Sex and the City lol) Bonus points if you can guess the episode (Hint: A squirrel is just about to scare the s*it out of Carrie)

Here's another shot of the couch, my favorite spot is where the laptop is sitting. So comfy!

 Here is a shot of our dining room and into the kitchen. We bought the dining room table a few weeks after we moved in and I LOVE IT! It comes with two leaves and can seat 10 pretty comfortably when both leaves are in the table (pictured here with leaves removed)

So that's pretty much the living/dining room. Hope you enjoyed seeing the change (i.e. the addition of stuff!)

Until next time i'll be on the chaise,
