Lounge Room: Inspirations

Our idea for the lounge room is going to be a mix of a guest room and media room for Wayne's classic video game consoles and a movie room. I fell in love with this cozy futon from Ikea. It is the perfect size and recline for video gaming, relaxing and sleeping two guests. 

I was imagining this between the two book shelves that will hold all of Wayne's magazines.

It turns out that this is too long. I was upset. It is the perfect amount at storage. All of the other Ikea options were either too long or didn't come in this light "oak" color. 

Here is what I get to work with. Doesn't this look like a 12 year olds room minus the bed? That's because this is all of Wayne furniture from is childhood years. A room full of all oak furniture that I have to work around. 

His desk pieces will be going into the loft. he said he can't part with his solid oak desk.  The entertainment center is going and we will find something similar like I showed above.

The bike will go in the garage like it's suppose to. We are buying another book shelf like this one shown. Selling those gigantic speakers and buying a 32" tv. 

 The drawer in the corner will go in the closet and will be Cassie's new eating perch. The closet needs to be cleaned out and organized as well. No plans to paint. I know this room will end up looking like a man room. Which is fine with me. Wayne deserves one for all of the change I had put him through so far this year.
