It's quite a transformation and the homeowners seem thrilled. I can't understand, though, why there wasn't storage built into the book nook daybed. All that space under the platform is unused now and could have held a couple of drawers or at least opened up on hinges for holiday decorations or out of season clothing storage or whatever else needs to be tucked away. Seems like a missed opportunity in an otherwise great space.

I'm sure it's also a cost balance -- the homeowners didn't indicate that storage is a problem for them, and wood adds up. Monica probably used all of their weekend budget in ways that address their current needs and wants. But it looks like they can easily go back and add drawers in the future :)

Totally agree but it is a lot for a weekend

Leigh Taylor Ellis I do agree with you completely however Monica can only plan and design 5 projects and maybe the other projects could be more Important than a bit of storage but I am not trying to argue it is just a suggestion 📚📖❤️

I think this might be my favorite room so far! Two requests: can you link what sawhorses you used? I've had such a hard time finding good-looking wooden ones to use for a table. Also, is there any chance you could do an in depth break-down of that nook build? It looks like such a flawless built-in with the finished trim but it actually seemed pretty simple when you were putting it together. Think that would be a really versatile tutorial to have for reference. Thank you so much! Love this series!

Hey Jangle - these are the saw horses used: https://www.lowes.com/pd/BURRO-BRAND-21-in-Wood-Saw-Horse-1-000-lb-Weight-Capacity/3347070

The nook is simply 2x4s cut to size to build a sturdy frame, with plywood on top. To finish it off we attached a few pieces of wood trim. We'll see if we can get a more in-depth explanation put together...may be hard since the episode is already filmed.

In terms of design it looks great, but I'm seeing a lot of flaws in the finishing to be quite honoust, plus a bunch of missed storage oppurtunities.

PandoraFox87

We have paneling like this through out our house, for our sons room which was also covered in it, we painted each "plank" sage green left the black line and then the next "plank" a blue gray. I love that it looks pin striped. It took a fair amount of work but I'm beyond thrilled with the final look of it. Ill be sad when he wants to change the theme of his room from nursery to "big boy"
lol.
