The Little Dreamer's Loft

    The Little Dreamer's Loft

    Custom Little Girl's Room Makeover

    "A tiny bedroom, a demolished closet and one very big imagination."

    First, the closet had to go.

    This once-crowded little bedroom needed more than a new coat of paint—it needed an entirely new way of using the space.

    The original closet was torn out to make room for a custom-built loft bed and a one-of-a-kind Lazy Susan closet that rotates to keep clothing and storage organized without sacrificing precious floor space. Beneath the loft, custom shelving created a colorful hideaway for books, toys and all the treasures a little girl collects.

    A hand-finished dresser, dreamy painted walls and layers of turquoise, coral and pink completed the transformation. The result is part bohemian retreat, part secret clubhouse and entirely her own—a room designed not simply for sleeping, but for dreaming, creating, playing and growing.

    Because sometimes the only way to make more room is to stop thinking inside the room you already have.
