Need help: 500 sq ft master bedroom on concrete subfloor. Help!
Comments (5)Because your slab is suspended above a basement, you could float a plywood subfloor or adhere a subfloor to the slab. When we float a subfloor, it is usually two 1/2" or 5/8" plywood layers installed on a diagonal layout to the room with each layer staggered so no seams line up. The layers are attached to each other only. The plywood needs to be dry and reasonably flat. Garbage sheathing will not suffice. Since yours is such a large space, I would suggest you do a lot of research on different install options and consult with installers who have done solid over concrete slabs. One important thing to note is the fact that even though your slab is suspended construction does not mean it is entirely safe to assume it is dry enough to install wood flooring over without providing for some sort of moisture barrier or retarder. Concrete can take up moisture and emit moisture depending upon the temperature and moisture vapor content in surrounding air at any given time period. There have been remarkable advancements in adhesive technology with some adhesive manufacturers making the claim that now you can install a solid to concrete directly when using their product designed to do just that. I have not done that. Engineered wood flooring construction is basically a quality plywood with a veneer face that is the specie of choice. The veneers differ from product to product; some have a thin peeled veneer and others have a sliced (sawn) veneer. The unfinished Owens engineered is of the sawn type with a veneer that is almost a full 1/4" thick. I did an Owens unfinished over sheet cork over a slab where the product married to an existing 3/4" solid wood floor attached over a portion of the house that had a basement. You could not tell the solid from the engineered. Good luck with your searches....See MoreHelp me pic bedroom nightstands please? Pics
Comments (5)If you want to have two matching stands on each side just get two baby dressers like the third photo. They are 36" like you are looking for. They won't clash with the full size dresser you already have. Oak baby furniture is not as common so you will have to do more Googleing to find them. I would not put a solid black or white painted ones in the space. To harsh with oak. If you want to do a painted piec get one with an oak top to blend it in a bit with the oak you have. I think a deep painted color like the second photo could bring in some pop to the room but NOT with two of them painted the same color. That would be overkill. If you are putting a nightstand in front of the window you should stick with swag valances. Swag valance would look cute on the window by the chair. The comforter looks like it leaves a gap at the bottom and does not hit the siderails. I thought it might be the wrong size. I had to live with a full size comforter on a new queen size bed for a long time until I had the money for a queen size one. I thought maybe you were just using this one until you found the right one for the new bed. One thing to consider when shopping for a queen size comforter is that even though is says 'Queen' on the label it may not be the right dimension for the new deeper mattresses they sell now days. Something to look out for when ordering online or through a catalog. Check the measurements. They can vary from manufacturer to manufacturer.

Comments (26)@designinteriorsouth Please see my responses following your questions. 1. Your bedside tables are just floating and the bed is completely overpowering them. Add your heavy high boy dresser and it will really accentuate this fact. Are these new? Can they be returned and replaced? You need more solid bedside tables. -- Sadly, the only thing that I can return is the dresser. It is not as high as it appears in the photo (if that helps) 38” W x 46” H. I was truly in love with the nightstands and the bed. The nightstands arrived prior to the bed and once the bed was put in place, I too felt that. The wall sconces did help balance it out a bit. Do you have any suggestions if we were to keep these, because I am not able to part ways with them. 2. Run the wires to your sconces tightly down the wall or horizontally and then down behind the head board. Any exposed wire should be taught and then paint it the color of the wall. -- Good point. Another comment mentions the same. :) I've been searching for a brass cord cover, but will simply paint the cord of this one as you suggest. 3. Anchor the foot of your bed with a bench or two stools. -- I was going to definitely do that, but do you think there is enough carpet space? 4. Keep your draperies neutral and just get ones with darkening lining. Your sheers are too short. -- Neutral as in beige/grey linen neutral enough? 5. I am finding your rug choice with the fabric on your bed and then your wall color all don't relate to each other. You have 3 separate elements here. Were they all chosen in conjunction together? I would bring in a lot of texture.-- Yes, sadly I chose all in conjunction together. I must have horrible taste :P....See MoreMaster Bedroom needs a refresh. Please help!
Comments (216)Guess what?! Shower curtain arrived from Etsy yesterday and it looks great! Colors are even better in person than online. Copper and brown colors tie in with the tile perfectly and it brings much needed gray, white, and blue. Love! It is a little long, but I can easily re-hem. The Pottery Barn Odin rug wasn’t so lucky. The colors are kind of turquoise-y and sea glass green. So next I’m shopping for a 3’ x 5’ rug with gray-blue in it. Speaking of shopping...also need to look for art for the bedroom wall. The replacement one arrived, also with dents to the frame. Hubby brought it in from the porch and said, “Wow, this box is mangled!”...See MoreRelated Professionals
