Hi Friends,
This week, I’m sharing a room that is a fan favorite at our airbnb. It’s on the top floor of the building with ceilings that makes the sound bounce around and makes your ears happy to be there. :) First, let’s start by showing you the room before. We actually didn’t do a lot of changes to this room.
Here’s the room when we went to look at the building to purchase it:
I felt like the recliners were too bulky so I switched them out with two click clack couches that can be either in the reclining position, all the way down or upright. I also love that there’s a center arm on the couches that have cup holders in them. Perfect for any movie night at the airbnb.
We get the most question about the couches in this room. Even though they have a high end look, they are pretty inexpensive. The reason I went this route is because I needed something that would fit up the narrow, angled stairs (normal couches wouldn’t). These just barely fit even without the legs on them. I also wanted something that was reasonably priced to replace if need be because it is a movie room and accidents happen. If you love them and want to order one for your home here’s the link.
We also redid an antique record player to be the entertainment center for this room, but it wouldn’t fit up the stairs. So John built this beauty in about 3 hours as a deadline emergency piece (opening was the same week). I love how it turned out and said we should offer this as a custom order for people. Do you all agree?
The TV is a smart TV – we decided to go with faster internet in the airbnb and not do cable. So we bought smart TV’s and it allows guest to sign in using their own credentials to watch the shows they would like.
You can’t see it in the pictures, but there’s also a microwave for popcorn and a skylight with a little bench to soak up some sun mid day if people want. The LED lighting on the floor makes everything pop when the lights are out and the movie is on!
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!
