Converting Teen Bedroom


graduationjune2011 026

I am in the process of replacing the bed in my teen daughter's room that is off to college. Her bedroom is large and colorful but not very practical anymore. I would like to make the room into a craft project room as the windows have a lovely view. I will move daughter's "bedroom" to downstairs as an updated guest room. I donated all the chartreuse green linens, wild murals and toys she left and no longer wants. By combining white linens with feminine touches, I transformed her leftover furnishings to accommodate guests. When she comes home for holidays the downstairs will be her new room.



I looked at Murphy Beds online but most are dark wood frames and two to three thousand dollars. I do not want to throw away the mattress in her old room as it is only three years old. , On holidays I may need the extra sleeping room. Wondering what other lower cost options might be available to combine a craft room with a hide- the - mattress?
