Before
This basement bedroom was small and dark with no closet. It would only hold a twin bed but this teen’s legs were too long for it. The metal bed frame was very uncomfortable for his feet and ankles.
The old vinyl chair was far too big for the space but the lovely mid century modern dresser was perfect. However, the ceiling fixture and outlets had not worked since an electrical storm the previous summer.

After
The first order of business was to repair the electrical problem so the lights worked. Then we brought in a new twin XL box spring and mattress on a new frame. His bed is now the same length as a king sized bed. We purchased linens and comforter in twin XL, then added new pillows and a hand knit throw. A new lamp topped the dresser for reading in bed.
