A Guest Room Worthy of a Guest

This homeowner decided to convert her basement into a rental unit so everything from downstairs had to be moved onto the main floor, mainly being shoved into the guest room. One of the homeowner’s issues was using her dining room as a dumping ground for life and, when people were coming over, sweeping it all into large bins and moving the bin into the guest room. The homeowner has a lot of hobbies, including painting but was unable to access her supplies. Ultimately, we shredded three banker boxes of old bills and statements and purged a six cubic feet of “stuff” for the community yard sale. In fewer than eight hours, we were able to transform this space into a usable guest room. We didn’t spend a cent on organizing tools, reusing or up-cycling things we found around her home.
