Design on a Dime — Season 1, Episode 19: Tranquil Music Room and Retreat

Episode synopsis

Musician Jeremy Toback and his wife Fabienne want to turn their disorganized guest room into a serene retreat that can be used as Jeremy's music room and as a place to relax with their young son, Miles. Host Sam Kivett decides on an overall Asian theme for the Toback's room. Kivett and the design team of Summer Baltzer and Charles Burbridge scour an ottoman warehouse to create the perfect piece to fit into the theme, build a low futon frame out of stained lumber and paint the walls a deep, tranquil purple. They also create a set of translucent paper wall sconces and a tabletop water fountain. They get rid of awkward closet doors and replace them with fresh white muslin, which is also used on the windows. The team is successful at turning this once cluttered and uninspired room into a peaceful retreat where Jeremy can create and the entire family can relax for only $1,000.
