9. This Los Angeles Apartment Bedroom Went From Plain to Perfection
One of the features that really sold him on the apartment was the arched window. He wanted to cover it with curtains without hiding the beautiful feature. So he hung a long curtain rod near the ceiling that spanned the entire wall. A unique feature about this room is the board and batten accent wall. This was done by taking wooden boards and using a staple gun and wood glue to attach them to the wall. Then, he painted it all in a beautiful forest green.

The end result is a masculine-friendly bedroom that anyone would love. It’s really balanced with a mix of light and dark natural tones. Obviously, he has gotten permission from his landlord to do a big makeover like this. It’s a great example of how a well executed DIY can potentially increase the property value of the home. A project like this would probably make it easier for the landlord to rent it to someone else, whenever he is ready to move out. To see the full before and after transformation video, click here.
