I can hardly imagine that our main bedroom suite is lastly completed. This complete mission has taken over a 12 months to complete, and now that it’s performed, I discover that I wish to spend all of my time in right here having fun with the fruits of my labor. I had hoped to get a video tour of the entire bed room suite yesterday, however I ran out of time. So for these of you who take pleasure in movies, it’s coming. However for now, I needed to share a photograph tour of the entire space in a single publish. I’ve separate posts exhibiting extra particulars of every particular person space (the lobby, the walk-in closet with laundry space, the bed room, and the rest room). However at present, I actually needed to deal with how the entire space flows collectively.
We’ll begin on the entrance. This was once a cased opening right into a hallway, and in that hallway, there have been 4 doorways — three doorways to 3 bedrooms, and one doorway to a visitor rest room. Now the cased opening has French doorways, and the entire space is our main bedroom suite. I really like that after I stand within the music room, I can’t solely see the lobby, however I may also get a glimpse into the colourful closet and our new inviting bed room.
The view straight on reveals off our chapel image from our marriage ceremony day. The lobby form of acts as an extension of the walk-in closet. Since I didn’t have room contained in the walk-in closet for a spot to take a seat down and placed on footwear or a full-length mirror, I positioned this stuff within the lobby to our bed room suite.
And on the wall to the suitable is the visitor rest room, which is able to quickly grow to be a storage room the place we are able to retailer Matt’s gear when it’s not in use (bathe wheelchair, Hoyer elevate, and energy wheelchair), in addition to a brand new scorching water heater, a utility sink, and storage for different home goods. The storage room is the one space of our bed room suite that also must be performed, however I can’t work on it till we’ve a working visitor rest room to take its place.
The view out of our bed room suite is considered one of my favourite views in our residence — my colourful pixel artwork and the pink sofa within the music room.
From the bed room suite lobby, you can too get a glimpse into our kitchen. I ought to have turned the sunshine on so you may see it higher, however that’s the kitchen by way of the cased opening between the bookcase and the pink sofa. This photograph was taken with a large angle lens, so it makes the lobby look bigger than it truly is.
Right here’s the view from the lobby (with me standing in entrance of the storage closet doorways) wanting into the walk-in closet with a glimpse into the bed room.
And looking out again the opposite path, from the lobby you’ll be able to see into the closet and the music room. A number of individuals urged me to place a door on the closet, however actually, I really like seeing my colourful clothes. I gown the identical means I beautify. A lot of COLOR!
Right here’s the view straight on from the lobby into the closet. The curtains within the closet are virtually the identical colour because the sofa within the music room. I really like that continuity.
From contained in the closet, I get this glimpse of the lobby. As I as taking these photos, I spotted that there are two or three small ending initiatives that I missed, so I want to return and end these. A kind of unfinished initiatives is touching up the paint across the doorway on the closet facet. I did a really messy job at portray the brand new darkish teal trim that covers the sting of the grasscloth wallpaper, after which I forgot to come back again and contact up the sunshine blue paint to scrub up these messy edges. Ugh. There’s all the time one thing I overlook! So please very kindly faux just like the paint across the doorway on the closet facet appears to be like sharp and pristine. It is going to really appear to be that very quickly.
And now we’re again out within the lobby wanting in the direction of the closet and the bed room.
I simply love this view. I can’t think about having a door on the closet. I really like with the ability to see the cupboard colour, the wallpaper, and all of my colourful stuff.
I do know you’ve seen this view from the bed room to the music room. I really like seeing how open this space is now. It used to really feel like such a closed in hallway with a door that separated the room from the lobby. And now it feels so open and a lot greater than it did earlier than.
Standing along with the mattress, you’ll be able to see the entire rest room, the bed room, and into the music room.
Right here’s a straight on view from the bed room into the lavatory. The solar was taking place behind our home after I was taking these photos, so the entire mild made the partitions within the rest room seem brighter than they are surely. The partitions are literally very related in colour to the sunshine blue-green colour within the quilt cowl. I wish to put some movie on the glass on the outside door for privateness and to diffuse the intense mild that comes by way of that again door within the afternoon and early night.
I actually love this peek inside our rest room from the bed room, however you’ll be able to see yet one more small mission that I missed. I forgot to refinish (or change) the wooden transition strip between the hardwood flooring and the tile, so it’s nonetheless black from when this was our residence health club with the black carpet squares. 😀 I’ll deal with that quickly so that it’ll match the hardwood flooring.
The colour of the lavatory partitions on this image is far more true to the actual colour. The solar had gone down fairly a bit, so the partitions aren’t glowing as a lot. 😀
I took a number of photos of this view as a result of I like it. It’s wonderful, in spite of everything of those years, to lastly have a reasonably and practical bed room proper subsequent to our rest room.
I took this photograph with a large angle lens, so issues are a bit distorted and disproportionate. However I needed to get as a lot in a single photograph as potential.
This one is with out the large angle lens, and with out the distortions.
And if I stand within the doorway between the bed room and toilet, you’ll be able to see the water closet to the suitable of the mural wall.
Right here’s one other large angle view (with distortions), however I needed to point out you the 2 areas the place the doorways into the hallway was once. So within the rest room (earlier than it was a toilet) there was a doorway into the hallway (i.e., the lobby) about three toes in from the again wall of the water closet. After which within the bed room, there was a door from the bed room into the hallway in that slim space between the bed room and the lobby. And naturally, the doorway between the bed room and the lavatory didn’t exist since these have been two separate bedrooms.
I used to be dropping daylight fairly fast as I used to be taking these photos, so I ought to have turned on the ground lamp by the recliner. However right here’s a view from the lavatory to the TV/studying nook of the bed room.
And one other view from the lavatory wanting the opposite path…
And right here’s one final image from the lavatory exhibiting the door within the bed room. So for now, we’ve an exterior door within the bed room and an exterior door within the rest room. But when we’re ever capable of construct the addition onto the again of our home, the outside door within the rest room will grow to be an inside door, leaving us just one exterior door in our main bedroom suite.
And that’s it for now! I can’t imagine it’s really completed. The entire thing has been years within the making if we depend from after I began engaged on the lavatory. However the different areas (lobby, closet, and bed room) have been a piece in progress for over a 12 months. It’s laborious to imagine they’re completed. And now, I can transfer on to the brand new visitor rest room (i.e., the studio rest room). As soon as that’s completed, I’ll come again and end out the storage closet, which is the ultimate piece of our main bedroom suite.
