Thursday, May 9, 2013 Update a Small Space

working on a young lady's bedroom update and wanted to share a section of what we did to add storage and a spot to sit or drop a book bag.
This is the before:

The door on the left leads to the hallway and the door to the right is a walk in closet. There was this unused space between the two doors so I suggested we put a narrow bench with storage . The poster is dance themed and there were other similar framed posters on a different wall in the room.

This is the After:

We grouped three framed posters together, so it looks like a little gallery wall.

The bench is from Target and was about 60.00. It comes in a few finishes. The handled fabric cubes come in a variety of colors. They can hold shoes, hats, nothing. It is a simple way to make use of a really small footage of the room.

Can you think of a small space in a room in your home that could use a little update? Maybe I can help.
