Hello my friends and thank you for joining me as I reveal to you my Ladies Lounge! The original reveal aired on IGTV & YouTube.
But for those of you who subscribe to the 4th House online, I wanted to update you as well! So have a look at the video to find out what I did & why. If you have a small room in your home that’s not being used or could be better used, this Ladies Lounge Reveal may be the perfect interior design idea for you!
After you watch the video, take a closer look around at some great shots of The Ladies Lounge below along with some FAQ’s about some of the choices I made! But 1st, a couple of before & afters.
This is what the room looked like when we viewed the house before buying.
We changed the layout of course but that’s it. I was STUCK! Until now!
This is my new Lounge as it’s being lounged in this very moment! You’ll have to check out the video above for a cute little story about this chair & our little Lady Lola (our doggie).
I love the use of the closet as an entertainment “center” & storage space.
I now do all my yoga & exercise in here too instead of my office. It’s so very zen!
A Few of My Favorite Things
I love Every. Single. Thing. about this room. There are a few things that I really want to point out that I haven’t already. These are a few of my favorite things!
entertaining in a closet?!
of course!
Including a full on wine bar complete with fridge, my grandmother’s waterford crystal, & wine from MJB herself!! Enjoy!
art that’s not really Art?
Art is what you make it.
This is 1 of my fave fabric samples & of course Madame VP gracing the cover of the ivy leaf!
Smart Things
These are definitely NOT technology related. In fact, the Ladies Lounge is {almost} an electronic free zone – yes phones are allowed, but that’s about it.
These “smart things” are all about functional storage that I don’t have to see all the time
- Garden gate mirror w/ storage –
bedding & blankie 
More bedding storage behind the wine fridge- art with a purpose!
It hides storage for gardening (those are seeds in the organizer)
&
for gifting supplies - And below that… more gifting supplies
- Storage for remotes & things. I really wanted nesting tables in here but no point in buying new. I shopped our home & created my own nesting situation!
- Close up – remotes, lotion, glasses…
All the essentials!
having the tiered nesting tables works well for holding a drink whether you’re sitting up or lounging back!
FAQ’s
Here’s a couple of questions I got about some of the design choices I made.
Interior design is part art, part analysis, part math & science in my opinion. Form & function have to co-exist, which is sometimes easier than it sounds. Sometimes you get great function in a not so beautiful space. Other times the space is drop dead gorgeous, but not so inviting or comfortable.
As a designer/decorator, I work hard to get it right for my clients – which always very subjective. This time I was my own client & I can be my own worst critic. But the verdict is in & I definitely got it right!
I’ve lived with it for a while & The Ladies Lounge is all that I want it to be & more!
So tell me, what do you think of The Lounge? Would you do or do you have something like this for yourself or someone you love?
