Loft Makeover -The "before"

So I've been wanting to redo the small loft space in the house for quite sometime now. Just like it was with my bedroom and bathroom, this will be a makeover on a budget. No major changes, just some simple ones that don't cost a lot but that can make a space inviting and special. Here is a pic of the ladder leading up to the loft. I left my white Christmas lights up because I love the way this looks at night. 

As you  can see the opening at the top isn't very big at all. We were just able to get a mattress up and a few smaller items. You can't really bring big stuff up here.

Here is a shot of most of the room. 

The ceiling is low, I would say maybe 7 feet. The big windows really open it up though so it doesn't feel as small as it really is. 
Can't wait to show you the after so stay tuned for next week's video for ! Watch my Youtube video here:
