So, here is the before picture as a reminder...

And here is the after picture...

It looks much better I think. Now, I just have to be patient while I try to collect some appropriate furnishings - we want the room to be used as a guest room so we'll be looking for a sofa/bed or futon. And I'd like to have a few more "comfy" chairs.
Now, we do have a few usage conflicts. Kim wants to move the computer here from our bedroom, and John wants to set up a recording studio in the room. So I'm going to have to get really creative with storage and workspace solutions really quick.
Later!
