The end is near!















Ready to be a big sister!





















36 weeks & counting!

Master Bedroom Remodel














We didn't take before bedroom photos. This is a photo we happened to have. At least you can see the white walls!















The back wall is Spanish Red. The other walls are a tan (Pismo Dunes).















Master Bath Before





















View from the bedroom. The carpet, closet (on left), door to the bathroom, cabinet (right) and lights were replaced.















View into shower (from toilet). The sofet in the shower was removed & a vent was moved to make the shower larger.














View from bedroom of closet in bath (And a peek at the colors we were contemplating in the master bedroom).

Master Bath After

The After photos don't do the bathroom justice. The shower is larger and taller than our old one. We love the tile on the walls and floor.















The wall cabinets were made by Arendal. They make such better use of the space than the old closet.






















You can see the new glass block windows and light fixtures. We raised the cabinet height and used Mexican Noche travertine on the floor and counter.















View from Bedroom. The old door was replaced with a pocket door to give us more room. The colors are the same as the bedroom. Pismo Dunes and Spanish Red.



















View from shower/toilet area

HALL BATH REMODEL

BEFORE














The decision to remodel the hall bath occured while we were at work, so there are no formal "before" shots. These were taken when the prior owner was trying to sell the house. So, you conveniently cannot see the carpet, 1970's dungeon-like lights, interesting fabric flanking the shower and the old wall on the tub.

AFTER












The walls are the same color as the master bath (Benjamin Moore, Pismo Dunes). The counter, fixtures & lights are new.





















The floor & shower wall is torreon travertine.
