Our Bedroom Is Finished! (Before And After)

Our bed room is completed!! And with this, the principle areas of our bed room suite are completed — the lobby, the walk-in closet with the laundry space, our lavatory, and now our bed room. I nonetheless have yet one more space to complete (the storage closet), however that must wait some time. Not less than for now, I can shut the doorways on that closet (which is presently a toilet) and the whole lot else is completed. So with out additional delay, right here’s our new completed bed room…

So let me present you ways this space has advanced through the years. Once we purchased the home, this room appeared like this…

After which I turned the room into a house gymnasium, which appeared like this…

And now that is our bed room, and that very same view seems to be like this…

The room has at all times had a bit of “hallway” within the entrance, however it used to have a door resulting in this little hallway and into the room.

We nonetheless have that little hallway main from the lobby into the bed room, however it’s about three ft shorter now than it was when the room was a house gymnasium. And now, there’s no door from the lobby into the bed room. I had that door, and the wall round it, eliminated in order that the 2 areas are open to one another.

Right here’s what the wall on the entrance of the home appeared like once we purchased the home. It had a window, and you may see that there was a closet on the wall to the left of this wall.

When this was our dwelling gymnasium, we saved that window and I had the closet space opened up (i.e., there have been no doorways on the closet) in order that it felt extra open to the room.

However once we determined to make use of this as our bed room, I had the closet eliminated fully to make the precise bed room bigger, and we had the window changed with a door.

Right here’s a greater take a look at how the wall with the closet appeared once we purchased the home…

And right here’s the way it appeared when it was opened up for our dwelling gymnasium.

And now these partitions that surrounded the closet space are fully gone, which left extra room for a recliner and dresser. Eradicating that closet make the room really feel a lot larger.

After which wanting again in direction of the doorway to the room, you’ll be able to see that the closet shaped that little “hallway” entrance into the room, however it was solely about three ft lengthy, which was the depth of the closet behind that wall. You can nonetheless see the door.

However once we moved the wall within the hallway (i.e., the lobby) to sq. up the room subsequent to this one to show it into our lavatory, that made the “hallway” entrance to the room about twice as lengthy, and you could possibly now not see the door from this view.

However now that the closet partitions are gone, and the door and wall surrounding the door are gone, the realm seems to be far more open. There’s nonetheless a bit of hallway from the lobby into the bed room, however it’s again to being about three ft lengthy once more. And with out the door and wall surrounding the door, it really feel far more open now.

Once we purchased the home, this wall of the room was a stable wall. The unique master suite was on the opposite facet of that wall, and each this room and the unique master suite have been accessible through doorways within the hallway.

However once we turned the unique master suite into our new grasp lavatory, we moved the wall within the hallway, closed up the door that initially went from the hallway into that room, and added a brand new doorway from the house gymnasium into the brand new grasp lavatory. Our authentic plan was so as to add a brand new master suite on the opposite facet of our new lavatory. Had we caught with that plan, all three rooms — the house gymnasium, the brand new grasp lavatory, and our new master suite — would have all been related with doorways main from one room to the subsequent.

However now that this room is our bed room, our lavatory could be very conveniently situated by way of this door.

These are all the earlier than and after image I’ve for you, so now let’s get into the small print. The wallpaper that I used isn’t obtainable anymore, however it’s similar to a grasscloth wallpaper by Thibault. So in the event you’re looking for teal grasscloth wallpaper, I counsel wanting there first.

The ceramic birds are from Amazon (affiliate hyperlink), and I really like birds, so I used an entire lot of them and created a freeform wall set up with them.

I’ve to say that the fandelier has far exceeded our expectations. Matt has commented a number of occasions now how a lot he loves it. We’ve each been shocked at simply how a lot air move comes from that small fan.

I took so many photos (a ridiculous variety of photos, to be sincere), so I’ll preserve my commentary to a minimal and simply let y’all go searching.

I had initially deliberate to border the TV after which discover a fairly artwork screensaver for the TV. However ultimately, I made a decision that I don’t actually thoughts that there’s an enormous TV on the wall of our bed room, and I don’t wish to disguise it. I’ll let the precise art work be art work, and I’ll let the TV simply be a TV. I’m truly fairly glad with the way it seems to be, and extra importantly, it features nice for us.

I believe that almost covers the whole lot! If I’ve left something out that you really want extra details about, simply let me know!
