Better Homes and Garden's contributing editor Stephen Saint-Onge takes an empty, boring catchall room into an inviting guest room with a hidden home office.

Before: The Everything Room

This room had become the token catchall room with miscellaneous furniture and a makeshift desk for paying the bills and working on the computer. Designer Stephen Saint-Onge came to the rescue to transform this once boring room into a useful and stylish place to work or relax.

The Plan: Stephen wanted to take it from bland and boring to lively, energetic, and stylish -- serving two purposes: home office by day and comfortable guest room by night.
