our bonus room

We haven’t done much at all in the bonus room, but this is a PRIME example of what paint can do. The bonus room was painted this dark,  horrid orange color. And THEN…two walls had some sort of sponge paint application…in purple or something heinous like that.  This was another room I lived with this awful color for WAY too long.  But, we really don’t use this room all that much so it didn’t bother me.  Our bonus room is rather big…and it’d be perfect if our kids were older and played/hung out more independently.  But, they aren’t.  So we don’t come in here all that often.  It works well that it is big enough for a bed and “den” set up though since we do have guests stay pretty regularly.  To give an idea of just how big this room is…there’s a queen size bed, night stand, full dresser, chest of drawers, tv stand, couch, a closet AND a treadmill in this room and it still has plenty of floor space!  When I work out…this is where it goes down.  And sometimes the kids will play in here in the mornings when we are all getting ready and stuff.  But, otherwise this is the least used room in the house.  All we did was paint and install a new ceiling fan…but it looks a million times better, in my opinion ;-)
