One last push to finalize a ton of random projects before the boys arrive. Inspired by this washington street residence… by envelopeA+D, the guest room nook features a small hanging closet and desk setup for extended stay! A single-slider will cover the closet portion.

A special thanks to patrick from envelopeA+D for pointing me in the right direction with paint selection!

Lack of early planning has hindered my ability to achieve the vertical bar look I’m after. Glass panels are expensive and maybe a little too ‘slick’ for this house.. dirt would drive me insane given our ‘dirt’ street. Lack of funds prevents us from going with cable… Additionally, cable railings provide a nice climbing environment for the kids. I’m all for climbing, but not in this case. We’ve decided to proceed with welded wire mesh from mcnichols. It’s $70 for a 4′x8′ sheet. The exterior will rust.. to match the fence. We’re debating whether to paint the interior section white, or leave it black to match other elements such as the table base, headboard, etc. I want to maintain a “light” feel inside…

I don’t believe it’ll read as ‘dense’ as shown in the rendering — errrrr, visual noise… (sigh).
