This second floor area was originally devoted to the children, with their bedrooms opening onto the playroom landing. The largest bedroom in the home should always be the master bedroom. In this case, it was a child’s bedroom so the entire second floor was staged as a master sanctuary and the kid’s rooms were moved downstairs. The landing was just what you’d expect from active children, a mess! We repainted the chalkboard wall and using only furniture already existing in the home, turned the landing into a home office/media area. It’s a great place to drop the briefcase, watch the news and unwind!
