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.

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...

Master Suite Inspiration

The inspiration I have for our updates are modern farmhouse, modern, and cozy. I have been stalking through Pintrest and Instagram for ideas and have so many things I love and hope to incorporate into our home. Below I will insert pictures off my Pintrest board (which I use as a vision board) for each room. If I know the source I will embed them in the picture, but I have mainly seen these off Pintrest and unsure of original source. Master Bedroom I really wanted this space to feel calm, relaxing, cool yet warm and comfy. I have a hard time sleeping already so anything I can do to help myself get in the mood for some long zzz's I'll do it.              En-suite En-suite bath we really wanted to make it functional for our needs. I don't take baths really so having a bathtub would not be the most practical of choices so we opted for a large walk in shower. I also really liked the idea of having between stud built in shower storage. I though...

Master Bedroom Reveal

ITS HERE! I have finally gotten to a place with our master bedroom where I can show you some reveal photos and information. Our bedroom is not done yet in my eye, I would like to add in some more decorative accents for sure. Decorate the dresser properly, switch out the night stands at some point etc. But as goes with design its ever evolving, changing, editing and fine tuning. I am so happy how it turned out. When I was designing this space in the beginning I really didn't have a strong vision of what I wanted the room to look like. I just knew how I wanted it to feel, and from there it just came together. I wanted the bedroom to feel calming, cool, yet cozy. I have a hard time sleeping so I do as much as I can to help myself sleep easier. You can read all about the finishes chosen in this previous post. I share everything from paint colour, light fixture, flooring etc. Can we all take a moment of silence for this BEAUTIFUL mirror/art piece. I was luckily enough to...
