All that before 9:00 AM, now the real fun begins...
It's a big project, but they said they can get it done by Wednesday! Acadamy Award Painters are AWESOME!!! I typically do all the painting in my home but this time I'm going to have it done, and I couldn't be more excited!
We had a great time staging Paula's Kitchen yesterday! I have lots of pictures to go through but thought I should post to let you know I'm working on it!
Sorry just time for a sneak peek... I really need to get my run in and get to work!
Remember when I shared the before & after of a bathroom remodel? Well here's before the Kitchen Remodel:
And This:
We'll be staging the kitchen this week to enter Zephyr's Kitchen Design Contest.
Here's a sneak peek into the kitchen:
You're going to love it!
This morning I got a little nudge from Tee over at Browne Eyed Belle, Thanks so much for mentioning my remodel. I was a bit embarrassed not to have any pictures up so instead of walking this morning I thought I had better share my accomplishments!
Remember when my craft room looked something like this and painted a "Swanky Gray" from Sherwin Williams:
My desk actually has some space behind it instead of a wall coming down over the top of it and I have some awesome new storage from Elfa:
My desk is cleaned which clearly means I'm not doing any crafting, but I have plans too:
I still need to make curtains, it's a little weird sitting up here at night, sort of like being in a "Fish Bowl". My Daughter is ordering me some big pillow forms so this will be a comfortable place to sit and relax.
And for a sneak peek at what's going on in the rest of the room (Hint see the wall behind the TV):
Again Thanks for the encouragement I needed to get this posted!
& Thanks to Domestically Speaking & A Soft Place for the Parties to LInk to!
Moving along with the Remodel Upstairs! Yesterday we laid more paper and plastic to protect surfaces. Sanding sheetrock mud and spraying texture can get pretty messy!
Being one that likes things orderly, I will try to be patient as this means progress is being made on Project!
And what makes it easier to deal with the plastic, is knowing the area behind the plastic my desk is neat & tidy!
Remember when the Master Bath had green & cream wallpaper and looked like this:
And had the lovely polished brass light fixtures and nondescript mirror:
We are now just a little bit closer to our project completed! I had new mirrors made at Affordable Framing and they are amazing! Only one of the light fixtures has come in so it looks like I will either have to share my space or my husband will remain in the guest bath! I don't think I'm going to share... sorry dear! The tile in the bathroom remains but with the new color: Nice White from Sherwin Williams, it works!
We still have a way to go but Master Suite Remodel is progressing!
Last November I showed the before pictures of a Major Bath Remodel. Then in December I gave a little update. Well here it is January and I finally have the pictures to post. The beautiful home with the Master Suite Remodel, the space on the right is the area redone:
We pared down the doors in area to just three, instead of the original ten! Come on in...
The stone work around the tub & in shower area is exquisite:
A tough decision to make... soak in a luxurious tub or shower in the wonderful roomy shower!
Her new vanity is beautiful. The Client spent some time finding just the right mirrors and lighting to put the finishing touches on the space
The new linen closet:
I love all the detail that goes into Arie's Projects:
The Client needs to go shopping to start filling all the shelves she has in her new walk-in closet:
Arie retiled the fireplace:
And I Love her new color palette!
She can now relax in her Master Suite and take a bit of time for herself and enjoy her lovely view!
Thanks for the opportunity to help with your project!
Just wanted to update you on the Craft Room for Amber
I borrowed Amber's Photo since I visited with installer but failed to take pictures! Trim, side panels, & toe kick will be in tomorrow! Arie's is very meticulous... this project will be fabulous when complete! I'll be sure to take lots of photos tomorrow and then again when she starts filling the cabinets, it won't take long she has lots of fun stuff!
When we built our home 16 years ago I loved everything about it! And while I still love our home it's a bit dated. I mean seriously Polished Brass is not the "Hot" finish it used to be, unfortunately it's what we chose. Yes, I have lots of Polished Brass light fixtures and hardware.
And it went well with the "pale peachy-pink" tile in the Master Bath that we had chosen to go with the fabulously dated Laura Ashly wallpaper.
I'm thinking about removing the wallpaper in the Bathroom, texturing and just painting it and the Master Bedroom. I'll also replace the polished brass light fixtures and hardware. I just haven't settled on the perfect color, but I'm thinking about a gray/plum or brown for the bedroom and white for bathroom. I welcome any thoughts you might have for color regarding walls or hardware finish. While I'd love to replace all the hardware it just isn't possible at this time.
I do hope to incorporate this wonderful painting Amber did for me while in school.
Back in November I shared a Master Bath Remodel, and thinking that it would be done in a week I had no problem teasing you with the Tub area. However, it didn't get completed as planned as my builder was in a car accident. I wondered why he wasn't returning my calls, that's just not like him. I had taken a few pictures of the progress made so those will have to suffice for now.
Walking into the Master Bath you can see we have removed a few doors. We also removed the closet, moving the wall over 2 feet giving the homeowner more room in the Master Bedroom.
Now instead of all the smaller doors leading into and in the area, you have only three! A door added out in the hall leading into the room, really created a Master Suite. The powder bath and small office were incorporated into this new space, giving the owner a bigger closet and a private toilet area.
Now when you walk in instead of a chopped up area you have a really beautiful space.
The tub with walk-in shower will eliminate the need to clean any glass shower doors!
And don't you just love this shower?
The same tile used in the bath was used to surround the fireplace in the bedroom.
I'm really excited to see this project completed! And when Arie gets to feeling better I will update this project again. It's not usually a car accident that holds up a job.
