I love Before and Afters that feature something hideous or lackluster transformed into something beautiful and creative. This is not that kind of Before and After. This is a perfectly nice guest room completely overhauled to become a “big boy” room for a 2-year-old.

Amanda wrote to share this house project with us. The carpeting stayed, but that is about the only thing that didn’t change, including the paint on the walls. I particularly love the mix of patterns and the modern blue-orange color combo. Function-wise, Amanda hit all the nails on the head for a toddler: easy to reach books, an activity table for play and art, and toys stored low enough to grab and go.
