Master bedroom addition finished
Comments (17)I'm smiling because when I started this thread there were two other threads that seemed a propos, one about inappropriately-sized windows and the other showing an orange wall and asking what the heck the decorator was thinking? So thanks to everyone who responded so positively to my photos :) I wish I knew more of the history of my dresser. I believe it originally belonged to my grandmother's mother. I inherited a matching piece that's slightly smaller and has marble as a backsplash as well as on the top. I don't have room for it in my house so it's at my parents'. It needs to be refinished, but this first one took me so long to do that I never got around to refinishing the second. flowerchild the integration of the different styles was a bit more random than it was planned. We downsized and had to find room where we could for pieces we wanted to keep. With only 2 bedrooms (the 3rd is an office) we didn't have room for too many dressers, so one ended up in a closet! And the linen tower was purchased for the master bathroom in our previous house and matched the vanities there. I snapped some additional pics of the vanity. From Master bedroom I think this is the original hardware. From Master bedroom From Master bedroom Scout the cat From Master bedroom...See MoreDoes you master bath color match master bedroom
Comments (14)Nothing wrong with mixing up colors. The colors should coordinate a bit so they flow from one room to another. My master suite is three rooms in an "L" shape, the sitting room is in the middle. All three rooms are open to one another with doorless archways, so they do flow visually. The center room, the sitting room, has deep red/burgundy walls and a cream/ivory trim color. Off one side of the sitting room is the bathroom. The the trim and cabinets are the same cream/ivory as the sitting room, but the wall are somewhat beige. Off to the other side of the sitting room is our bedroom. In there the walls are sort of a cream/ivory, and the trim/cabinets/wainscot is a deep muted historical green. The cream/ivory sort of ties the three rooms together and the other colors sort of bounce off that. For bathrooms which can be dominated by hard surfaces (fixtures/tile/stained wood) where the color of those items can be difficult or expensive to change, I usually recommend that those hard surfaces be a neutral or somewhat muted color. Then the wall color, or soft accent items like towels and throw rugs, curtains, etc, which are easy to change, be the stronger and sometimes more vibrant accent color. The hard surface colors in our bathroom are sort of neutral (cream cabinets and trim, beige walls, natural teak for the countertops and tub deck, tile is cream and charcoal), we change the color of the towels/rugs whenever we feel like it. Sometimes to a strong color; deep green, cranberry red, etc, sometimes to a soft neutral like beige, off-white, etc. And there is nothing wrong experimenting with colors either, especially paint. At roughly 10 cents a square foot coverage for basic formulations, paint color can be inexpensive and fairly easy to change....See MoreFloor Plan Review - Help with Master Bedroom/Bath layout
Comments (4)Our property is some what pie shaped, with the widest part towards the east end. It is also wooded with most of the trees on the south side. So the best views will be to the east. We plan to place the house running from the northeast to the southwest to let more light in. The garage will be about 20' from the north property line. We've actually worked with a architect in the past, but they have since closed up shop. It was a struggle as they couldn't get what we were after; an front entry that doesn't open into the living room (i.e privacy) , a not so open floor plan and finally a plan that doesn't looks like every other house. I'm curious what are the other problems you see?...See MoreNeed home addition idea for master bedroom, ensuite and laundry room
Comments (19)@sanmav68 : Thanks for info. What I meant was that the number of squares on the graph paper doesn't match your written measurements in those rooms, assuming you are using one square per foot. Installing a new HVAC system can be worth the money for comfort and even temperature control around the house. A lot depends on how much insulation the old house has. Get two or three quotes, prices can vary a lot depending on how and where they want to install the equipment in an older house that doesn't have it now. If the inherited house hasn't been maintained consistently, your $20K could easily go toward new appliances, electrical upgrades, new windows, furnace tune-up, gutter cleaning, termite treatment, and new flooring. You may want to pay for a professional inspection just as if you were buying the house so you'll be able to anticipate repair and replacement costs. There are also checklists online if you want to do a runthrough on your own. Some real estate agents offer a list of service people on their websites....See More- PRO
