Suite Retreat!

The Master Suite has been finished for some time now, but the update remained on the "To Do" list and we're just getting around to posting it!  

The space, according to the blueprint from the 1944 remodel, was originally one large room.  During that 1944 remodel, the one large space was turned into two spaces with the addition of closets.  One room, designated as the "sewing room" on the blueprint, was so small that it was unusable for any practical purpose.  So we made the decision to remove the closets, creating one large space--reverting back to the original.


Along the way we gutted the space and started with a clean slate!


The wall was built and bricked...


...then, the space was plastered, sanded, caulked, and primed.


Next, it was painted...


...and then, the floors were sanded to perfection...


...and refinished!


Finally, cabinets and bedding were built.


Check out the following links to see all that was entailed in getting this space to where we are today, if you're interested!








Now, come on in and take a look around!


THE WALL anchors the room and provides a soft divide.


This is the area where the tiny sewing room was.  Opened up, now the space is inviting and has a comfortable zen quality to it.  The sitting room includes a flat screen television and surround sound.  


The cabinet has lots of storage and has a mini-fridge and microwave.


The media cabinet is made from sustainable wood and features recycled wood on the doors and drawers.



The headboard, with installed lighting, is actually closet space which provides additional hanging, shelving, and drawer space.  No storage space here!


More storage drawers are located under bed as well.


Wood blinds allow ample light to shine in.



In the end, the room has an updated, club-like feel to it and blends in with the traditional feel of the house.  It's a space that gives you pause to even think about leaving!

This room now moves to the FINISHED column!!!
