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.

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...

Master Suite Progress

Slowly but surly the master suite started to look like a livable space. It took up from February to June to be at the point for drywall to hang. The drywall and ceiling took I believe 2 weeks to completion and as soon as it was done I was painting. We started by moving out of our bedroom to one of the guest bedrooms, this room could only fit our bed which we had to skootch by the end of the bed and wall to access the closet. The dresser and my makeup station was in the other guest bedroom. We lived there for 5 months. When it was time for drywall we moved our bedroom to the main level, in the back living room where the fireplace was located. This was alright as we could fit all furniture in the room, and having the sliding back door open at night was nice to help cool us off in the hot summer nights. I did miss sleeping on our bed frame. When we moved down stairs we didn't bother setting up the bed as it was temporary. We slept there for another 2 months.    ...

Living Space Inspiration

For the living space I want it to be comfy and welcoming yet functional and child friendly (for future, currently nonexistent children). My goal for this entire renovation process is to keep everything as timeless as possible and to think ahead. For intense The entire house is carpeted, minus the kitchen, mud room, and upstairs guest toilet. When we were working on our first phase of the project to removed all of the carpet on the second floor and replaced it with vinyl "wood" flooring. I was suggested to have vinyl in the guest bedrooms as it is easier to clean from potential spills and accidents. 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. Front living space The living space is no acceptation. The front living will house a cuddly couch but have fabric that is durable which cushion covers that...
