We all have that space in our home that we wonder what to do with. For some it’s a guest bedroom , for some it’s a basement and for some it’s an attic. Well , get out your pen and paper because you definitely need to take some notes on this space.
new show for HGTV [details to come soon!] and she’s incredibly talented. I was blown away when I saw the pictures of her attic abode in an article that Brian Patrick Flynn wrote for HGTVremodels.com. I knew you all would be blown away too so I just had to share!
To add some interest to the plain Jane window wall Alex came up with a pretty clever and inexpensive solution. She covered the entire wall with inexpensive burlap wrapped and secured around small pieces of foam. She also covered her headboard with the same burlap.

A great way to save pennies while decorating a space is buying flea market finds and freshening them up. For the one of a kind storage below Alex purchased a $10 thrift store chest. She gave it a fresh coat of paint and purchased decorative pulls from Anthropologie.

I love how she layered old frames on top of the mirror. The rustic wood gives the space such a comfortable feeling. Laying the mirror and frames on the floor is a subtle reminder that the space is still an attic.

Since there is very little storage space in the room Alex’s Expidit shelf unit from IKEA doubles as extra clothes storage.

If you have been stumped on what to do with your extra undecorated space hopefully this space gave you a little inspiration.
