Need a zen space, convert an underutilized space

If you own a lot of "things" chances are some land in one room with the door closed.
A friend of mine also a designer wanted to create a meditation space in the "catchall" room upstairs. We took everything out. Painted walls in a beautiful color, used a few existing objects, rug, pillows, and lighting to create the ultimate meditation space.
What happened to all other stuff? The craft and jewelry tables were de-cluttered and found a new home in the office area. Many storage boxes were labeled and stacked in the garage, in the office or other appropriate rooms. Old papers and magazines were recycled. Unwanted, usable items were donated, and some craft items were given to kids to get creative.
Everyone is happy!
Before and after photos show how much space you can gain by spending a couple of days repurposing a catch-all area.
