Second Level Hallway Finishes

Before I share the master bathroom reveal (coming Friday) I thought I would continue to share the finishes that we used. Today I am sharing the second floor hallway which is much shorter than the others since there is not too much to share. Currently we have not switched out the rest of the doors on the second level which does look quite odd, but that will be done in time. I was in no rush to switch out the door as the existing doors were completely functional. By doing this we saved some dollars at the present time since we were at the end of the project and didn't want to keep spending.


Paint
The walls are Benjamin Moore Gray Owl (OC-52) 50% lightened while the trim is Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace (OC-65).



Flooring
The floor that is now throughout the second level and will continue down to the main is a luxury vinyl. I was told about this kind of floor from my sister-in-law, her parents had this type of flooring in their home. I researched the product and like the fact that it was waterproof, durable, and affordable. Unlike laminate vinyl is waterproof and have a subfloor built in. The product we choose have a texture to the material to help mimic the wood effect. We chose our floor from Home Depot and settled with Lifeproof Valley Wood. I liked the colouring of this floor and thought it would not show dirty and dust as much as other colour options. I feel like the pictures on the website to not accurately depict what the floor actually looks like.


Doors, Trim, and Hardware
From recommendation and after receiving several product quotes we chose Fancy Doors and Mouldings for out interior doors, baseboard, casing, and hardware. Surprisingly to me Darrel had a strong opinion on what door style he liked. We decided to go with a 2-panel door with oil rubbed bronze hardware. The door levers are by Weiser and in the style Halifax SQ. The baseboards are a 4"x1.5" MDF, casing is 3.5" x 11/16" MDF and the headers in the main hallway are 4" x 1". This allows a "reveal" when the different depths meet. 

Lighting:
Hallway:
The upstairs hallway light is from Wayfair while the pendant is from Home Depot. The pendant was not long enough when we did a dry fit during install. Luckily the bedroom light also had an option for it to hang as a pendant and I had kept the extension rods. Darrel rewired the lamp with a longer electrical wire, added on the extra rods and voila! PERFETION!

Guest Bedrooms:
We have not done much with the guest bedrooms as of yet. We moved the light into the center of the rooms. They used to be in the corner by the closet. Updated the fixture and installed a header in the closet space to one day we can have a bi-fold door. There used to be double sliding doors (which we hate). Eventually we will finish  these rooms off. Currently no rush.

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...

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 Bath Finishes

Today I am talking all about finishes, what we (me) chose for the master bath reno. This includes everything from paint, tile, lighting, doors and hardware, and bath fixtures. Paint In the bathroom I chose Benjamin Moore's Intense White (OC-51). As I mentioned earlier it was really important for me to keep the bathroom light and as bright as possible since there is no natural light. When you are in the shower or getting ready early morning in the dead of winter when the sun has not come out, you really want to be able to see what you are doing. To accomplish this I chose an off white colour with grey tones to coordinate with the grey undertone of the vanity wood stain, grey colouring in the floor and the marble hex shower tile. The doors and trim colour is Benjamin Moore Chantilly Lace (OC-65) . Tile We purchased our tile from Tile Stone Source ; Snow An was our sale representative. Bathroom Floor: 12X24" matte porcelain tile in Aura Frost Shower Floor: 2"...
