Our Bed room Is Completed! (Earlier than And After)

Our bed room is completed!! And with this, the primary areas of our bed room suite are completed — the lobby, the walk-in closet with the laundry space, our toilet, and now our bed room. I nonetheless have another space to complete (the storage closet), however that should wait some time. Not less than for now, I can shut the doorways on that closet (which is at the moment a toilet) and all the pieces else is completed. So with out additional delay, right here’s our new completed bed room…

So let me present you the way this space has developed over time. Once we purchased the home, this room seemed like this…

After which I turned the room into a house health club, which seemed like this…

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

The room has at all times had somewhat “hallway” within the entrance, but it surely 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, but it surely’s about three ft shorter now than it was when the room was a house health club. 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 seemed like after 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 health club, we stored 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 after 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 seemed after we purchased the home…

And right here’s the way it seemed when it was opened up for our dwelling health club.

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 greater.

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

However after 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 toilet, that made the “hallway” entrance to the room about twice as lengthy, and you can 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 world seems far more open. There’s nonetheless somewhat hallway from the lobby into the bed room, but it surely’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 strong wall. The unique main bedroom was on the opposite facet of that wall, and each this room and the unique main bedroom had been accessible through doorways within the hallway.

However after we turned the unique main bedroom into our new grasp toilet, 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 health club into the brand new grasp toilet. Our unique plan was so as to add a brand new main bedroom on the opposite facet of our new toilet. Had we caught with that plan, all three rooms — the house health club, the brand new grasp toilet, and our new main bedroom — would have all been linked with doorways main from one room to the following.

However now that this room is our bed room, our toilet could be very conveniently situated by 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 accessible anymore, but it surely’s similar to a grasscloth wallpaper by Thibault. So in case you’re looking for teal grasscloth wallpaper, I recommend trying there first.

The ceramic birds are from Amazon (affiliate hyperlink), and I 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 need to disguise it. I’ll let the precise paintings be paintings, and I’ll let the TV simply be a TV. I’m truly fairly happy with the way it seems, and extra importantly, it features nice for us.

I feel that virtually covers all the pieces! If I’ve left something out that you really want extra details about, simply let me know!
