Game Room Remodel – FunCycled Stays Airbnb

Hello Friends!

This week is our Grand Opening at the new location – 336 Congress Street, Troy, Ny 12180. We’ll be open Saturday, December 5th, 10-2pm and would love for you to stop by and see the new space. I’ll be there the whole time to wish you happy holidays and answer any questions you may have!

For this week’s makeover, I wanted to show you another room in our FunCycled Stays airbnb! If you’re looking for a spot to stay while visiting anyone in Troy, Ny, we’d love for you to stay with us! You can also check out other completed rooms in the airbnb here.

Here’s the game room from the day we went to go look at it to consider buying it:

Most of this room was changed with new furniture and flooring. The green rug had to go!! We ripped it up first thing and installed a new flooring. Since this room was narrow, we were able to use roll out sheet vinyl for this space. It was super easy to lay and is really durable for this area since it gets a lot of traffic.

What a difference it made!

In this picture, we had just laid out the vinyl and painted the window trim white.

Then we brought back in the air hockey table, installed baseboard, and added all the decor.

This whole room design started with the couch. It’s a vintage velvet couch that my friend Monica gave me! It was her mom’s for years and in perfect condition. Thank you, Monica! I loved the lines of the couch and the rich rosy color. The next step in the design was finding a rug. I couldn’t find one online that I liked. I knew I wanted it to be bohemian, but I also wanted it to have some of the rose color in it. I took a trip to Home Goods and found this adorable rug! It was perfect! Had all the colors, the style and the size I wanted. I was so excited!!

For the coffee table, I wanted to do a narrow piece and we had this old reclaimed wood board at our house. So we added the hairpin legs onto the table. Bam – repurposed and adorable.

We painted old lockers, removed one of the doors and added wooden shelves to the middle.

We replaced the fan and added wooden blinds which really helped bring warmth to this space, too.

It would mean so much if you would share this link with any friend you think might be interested. You can book your stay on Airbnb’s website today! 

We loved being able to do all the design for this space. We focused on using as much repurposed items we could for accents and furniture throughout the space! Making it green, beautiful, and one of a kind for your home away from home stay. 

If you’d like me to help you with design in your home (can be done virtually to help anyone in the US) or if you see anything in the photos you’d like in your home locally, let me know. We made most of the signs ourselves and build many of the furniture items throughout the space. 

Thanks for being the best funcycler’s around!
