Bachelor Pad “Before”
About the project
This is the space we’re working with for Matt’s one-bedroom. Two open spaces pretty similarly sized, one with pocket doors and one with no door in the entrance to the room. Pocket doors connect the two spaces. Large closet (I’m jealous), small kitchen, small bathroom with a claw foot tub. Decently sized entry/hallway. New (looking) blond laminate wood floors. Lots of potential.
Matt had originally put the bed in the front room and the couch and tv in the back, but after a few nights of hearing the exterior back door slam on the other side of the wall behind his headboard, we made the switch to have the bed in the backroom. Already the arrangement is working much better, but we did have to make some unorthodox decisions to make that happen (including blocking one of the sets of pocket doors). And it also means there is no closing door to his bedroom, but we have a fun (and retro-tastic) idea for that little problem.
I’ll share an update of how the floorplan is shaping up next week (and maybe some snapshots of Matt’s existing furniture).
P.S. I’m trying out a new setting with the photos in this post. Let me know if you have any issues, or what you think!

I like this photo presentation set-up. I can’t wait to see the progress!!!
Hi Maggie,
I like your slide show, but would like it better if it changed more slowly. Makes me a little dizzy while I’m reading. But then I’m old now, so maybe that’s the problem! Love, Mom
Are you reading while trying to follow along with the pictures? I’ll keep that in mind – only slideshows where it doesn’t have to match up with the text (or maybe adding brief captions to the photos would help?).
I like the photo format! They still all come through in my RSS feed, but in the actual post its kind of nice to have them consolidated. Otherwise I find I’m always scrolling up or down to look for a particular detail, but this way its just all right there you just wait for the pick to come back through.
I like the slideshow too! Great space. I wish I had a bachelorette pad sometimes. I’d paint it the faintest pink.
A “pause” function or a manual click-through function would be great!
I love this space! I cannot wait to see what you can do with it! Maybe submit to AT? *wink*
