Master Bedroom Make Over

We have a large bedroom.

It's actually a finished attic that has plenty of charm 

with little nooks, tongue and groove

cedar wall planks and ceilings.

The room overall is roughly 25 x 16 feet not including the nooks.

When you walked up our stairs our bed was

 right in the middle of the room.

Technically there was nothing wrong with our room

BUT the bearded man wanted a project.

To the far right of the room there was a 

closet that measures 3.5 x 16 feet.

I've hated that tall dresser for the last several years but

who wants to carry that down 2 flights of stairs 😕

It's gone now!🙌

At one point behind these cute curtains was 

a very organized craft storage space.

Then it became a catch all.

It started driving me crazy and I mentioned

to Derek I wanted to clean it out.

That's when he came up with the idea to 

compact the whole closet into an antique 

armoire and let him knock the closet out.

😲😲😲😲😲😲😲

Of course with almost all projects,

I drag me feet for it to start bc I

hate/fear the construction phase.

Well the clean out of the closet turned up much more

than just my crafty crap. Go figure.

We even found my wedding dress

 and the mans military dress blues😍

Several trips to the trash, 

a few memory filled storage bins in the attic storage,

and the rest carefully organized into the armoire, 

and we had ourselves an empty closet!

He knocked out the walls on either side.

Underneath the walls the original floor was hiding.

Pretty fun to see.

We decided to put the bed on the closet wall

but first he recessed the armoire into the wall.

He spray painted the inside one of my

favorite fun aqua colors.

You would not believe how much crafty 

stuff is in here😳

Then the entire bedroom got a coat of

a beautiful creamy white.

🌸🌼Seriously loving my vintage flower rug🌼🌸

Then he moved the barn wood headboard 

to the other wall and installed the new lights. 

He also relocated the ceiling fans, relocated outlets,

installed recessed lights,

moved the cable line to the opposite side of the room,

built a recessed book case, and built all new banisters.

The man was busy!😅😅

Here are some bookcase progress pics.

Vintage laundry cart filled with

vintage linens😍 

 Derek also made me a barnwood ledge shelf 

and I just super love it💝

Where the navy dresser is now is where

the bed was before.

Our bed is actually a cali-king turned sideways, (instead of long)

so before when you would come up the stairs 

the corner of the bed was basically your

first sight.

Now it's so open!

The kids have had a few dance parties up there.

I love that the t.v is mounted and swivels

instead of sitting on the dresser.

We all ate dinner and watched a 

movie last weekend

and it was fun😃

I honestly love it so much 

and I can't wait to go upstairs 

in the evenings.

I'm so thankful Derek insist 

on doing projects that scare me 😆

Thanks babe, it looks amazing!
