Grandma's House Gets a Boutique Makeover-How One Designer Transformed an Outdated Home
Briefly

During the COVID-19 pandemic, a Silver Spring, MD family recognized a need for their four empty bedrooms, previously meant for children, to be updated into stylish guest suites. They hired designer Dana Schwartz to reimagine the spaces, ensuring they catered for adult guests. The new designs incorporate unique themes and a boutique feel, creating a more welcoming environment for family and visitors. This significant update not only reflects the homeowners' taste but also elevates the overall guest experience in their home.
"My clients came to me because they wanted to convert their four children's former bedrooms into guest suites for visiting family and the many guests that they entertain throughout the year."
"Each room before was designed very much for children under 20 years old-bunk beds, twin beds, desks, etc.-not conducive to adults staying in the spaces, which was the most important thing to my clients."
"The theme of each bedroom focused around the wallpaper, which were the first items we selected. From there, everything came together."
"I came up with the idea of designing each room to have its own unique personality-like at a boutique hotel-to create an experience for their guests."
