A boy’s bedroom across the hall from the guest room seen on the previous pages is another space with angled ceilings that presented a few design challenges. Function was key, with requirements including the need for a bed, dresser and desk along with seating and a trundle bed. To help accomplish this, Shirley had a long custom dresser built with a
desk at one end. To balance the long piece of furniture and help it look in proportion to the room, a lithograph was hung above the dresser with a functional cork board placed above the desk. To add weight to yet another small window, a motorcycle drawing was hung alongside it.
