Master/En-suite Before

So this set up is kind of confusing. I am playing catch up right now trying to show our projects real time. Currently the master suite is complete but I will be sharing the process in a few different posts.
I previously wrote about my inspiration for the master which you can read here https://thatsso70s.blogspot.com/2018/10/master-suite-inspiration.html. I will now show some before pictures of the project as and talk about the original plan. Because I suck I didn't really take any before or many during pictures which I now regret. So in future, note to self, document more!
Here are the pictures of the space from the reality listing which my real-estate agent kindly sent to me. Thanks Michael!
 
 


The first picture is the 4th bedroom that was next door to the master. This room was quite small and could realistically only hold a twin bed pushed into the corner and a small dresser. We decided to knock down the wall between the two rooms and use this space for additional into in the master. The next two photos are of the master bedroom and it was a narrower bedroom. Once we moved in and put the bedroom furniture in, it was quite clear more space was needed. We could only fir the queen bed on one wall with the night stands. The dresser would not fit. And seeing as the original closet would be used for the larger en-suite, it made sense to eat up the smaller bedroom.
The bathroom in the last picture was, I think, gross. It had carpet. CARPET! That to me is so so disgusting. We had all the carpets cleaned before we moved in but I still refused to use the bathroom prior to demolition. As we tore out the carpet we found there was previous brown shag carpet. THEY REPLACED CARPET WITH CARPET! Why? I guess it was the thing to do, but gross. This space was also very small for us as the bathtub/shower was squashed beside the toilet which was stuck beside the sink. Only one person could fit in at one time and make it difficult for drying off post shower and getting ready for work in the mornings. I was so anxious to start this project and am so happy how it turned out.

The latest update

July has been jam packed with progress. The house has completely transformed since the beginning of the month and is really starting to look like a proper house again! July 4th drywall began throughout the main level. This was very exciting for us. Drywall really changes the space. You can really start to get a good idea on how the space is going to turn out. We have a proper ceiling now haha! The following week muddying and taping began followed by priming and the ceiling texture. This meant we could finally install the kitchen cabinets!  They went up faster than Darrel anticipated. Unfortunately the instructions for install were not very good. Luckily we have Darrel's Uncle, and the continued helped from the best father-in-law come to help. THANK YOU IAN!!!     It look beautiful already. This week is also jam pack with the tiling starting Tuesday and counter tops being installed Thursday. Which mean, I will have a functioning kitchen by the

About Us

Before I divulge into our home buying process I thought I would give you a quick blurb about us and our background. Incase you did not know. Which most of you do.... I work as an administrative assistant in health care. This job is great for my need to want to help others and allows me to be super OCD, organized, and at times bossy, however lacks creativity. I remember always loving interior design. As a child, like 8 years old or something one of my favorite TV channels were HGTV. I loved watching TLC's Trading Spaces, House to Home, and Debbie Travis' Facelift. I remember writing to interior design and host House to Home telling her how much I loved her show and how I wanted to be an interior designer just like her. Which is still true. I feel like I am a very practical/logistical person. If being and interior designer was a guaranteed good earning job I would be all over that. Along with being terrible at math is a bit of a set back as you need the highest high scho

Hot hot hot!

Over this past weekend we underwent a big project for our house. We replaced our old 40 gallon hot water tank for a 50 gallon power vent hot water tank. I will give you a moment to lower your hype. I know! haha. This was a very exciting project for us, more so Darrel, because this meant we could remove the massive B-vent running through the middle of our house. Getting us one step closer to our open floor plan dreams. What I have been told this difference between the two systems is the original b-vent relies on evaporations/draft to vent out fumes from the hot water tank. And normally they just get reabsorbed into the tank. The power vent has a fan like system that pumps the fumes outside of the house actively, instead of them floating up and outside. I don't think one is better than an other, just a different way of doing it. The nice thing about this new tank is even though it is larger, it uses less BTU's than our previous tank meaning it is more energy efficient, which is
