Episode Four - Reclaiming The Bedroom

TUNE IN TONIGHT! (July 12 at 9:30 pm)

January 2005, I taped my fourth and most recent episode (#702) with homeowners Angela, Nellie and Charles. Angela is a sharp, young, single professional and owner of a beautiful townhome in suburban Atlanta. Three years ago, Angela's parents sold their home in another state and moved south to move in with her. A loving daughter, Angela relinquished much of her home to her parents and ended up spending most of her time in her bedroom. The 13.15 room was absolutely full with almost nowhere to sit or walk. She had crammed all the aspects of her life into this single small space and it just wasn't working. When I first saw the bedroom, it was clear to me that we could make a dramatic difference for her and she really needed it.

We did a total makeover, completely changing the paint colors, adding new lighting, all new furniture, shelving and a brand new closet system. For hours upon hours we sorted, pitched, donated, sold and shredded. It was a lot of hard work, but after it was all over, Angela ended up with a gorgeous new room that is more like a hip NYC studio than a suburban bedroom. It's no longer a crammed little room. Now it's decluttered, fun and a little funky. And with plenty of seating, dining space, an office, and oh yes, two places to sleep, it's a multi-functional and perfect place to hang out with friends.
