Good looking picture.

Did you rework the HVAC, cover the vents with curtains, or re-touch the vents out of the photo? They really will need some air in there. Looks like even the fan is gone. And while the higher dresser between beds looks more substantial and provides a place for decorative objects, would it function as conveniently as a bedside table as would one whose top could be reached easily from both beds? Is there still a desk or two in the room?

I like it, but do they have desks to do homework at?

Sorry but I get a definite feminine feel looking at this room. Too fussy for boys.

Agree with arcy. It's a beautiful room, but there is no way my sons would have tolerated that. I let my kids choose what they wanted for their own rooms.

Hmmmm .... I guess the accessories are saying guest room more than boys' room. But I love it in general. My boys would be fine with it- just not the Tang-ish horse and retro alarm clock and the art does not feel personal for a child's room.

ETA The lack of personal items is a reflection of the client and not the designer, though.

We all know it won't stay like this...this is just for the portfolio, and it's as it should be for that.

I think it's lovely. You did a great job.

It’s a great room! The rest of the house is quite beautiful and this is in keeping with the traditional style. We’ve become so accustomed to children/teen rooms that express the likes of their inhabitents, but I think there is always the random client who places the continuity of the spaces in the house above what the kids want.... although there is very stylish children’s/teen’s furniture and bedding that can be consistent with the rest of the house while communicating the whimsy associated with childhood.

I am not questioning the design because the room is very well done, but this raises a seperate interesting design discussion about children’s spaces.

I did not know the room was not intended to stay like that, that it was just for a portfolio. I took it seriously as being for a couple of real kids; thus my questions.

I was pleased to see a room for kids that is not too cutesy. My siblings and I did not grow up with kiddie-looking rooms, and I've always thought other kids-- boys and girls-- can appreciate handsome furniture, decent artwork, a well lit room, well arranged furniture, well made bed covers, etc. If I, in my lower middle class upbringing learned to appreciate an attractive living space, then so could other kids. So, yes, I thought this was an actual presentation of two boys' bedroom....But a room does need to be fully functional and not a burden for its occupants.

Oh, I was referring to the photo, only. It won't look like that in real life. Stuff will be brought in and taken out. I'm sure the designer is aware of what happens when he/she leaves.

Personally, I wouldn't do a kids room. Like that anyway. My 2 daughters room had, at different times, frills and canopies. Then a Little Mermaid inspired mural that I painted so it looked like they were under the water....My sons had a "safari" room and then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles painted to watch over them while they slept. I think kids rooms should be happy places for them, not me. All of these were their own ideas. It's just how we rolled in our house.

I think it’s a great guest room!

Also agree with arcy and those who suggested guest room.

One can advertise on Houzz forums?

The before picture does not feature anything personal looking either. Even with all that messiness, there are no toys. But I do spy a wristwatch on the desk.

Looks excellent!
