Andddddd, I'm finally picking the series back up!!!! Can you believe this is the 8th post in my
before and after series?! I can't!! If you are just catching up, make sure you check out
the intro and parts
one, two, three, four, five, six and seven.
Now that I've covered
the guest/hall bath, it's time to show the guest bedrooms. This post is probably the most underwhelming of
the series.
Whomp, whomp. Why? Because we haven't made any major changes to these rooms.
Well, I guess that's not totally true.
Our third guest bedroom radically changed...from a bedroom to our ensuite! That's right...two walk-in closets and our master bath! What the what?!?
Remember when we added our original master bath (and part of the largest original master closet) to enlarge our small hall/guest bath? We were able to do that since we were stealing our third bedroom to compensate. Here are
the floor plans again better illustrate...
Before:
After:
You'll see all that goodness when I reveal our master, but for now...it's all about our
underwhelming bedroom #1 and #2. (You're excited aren't you?!?!) Both rooms received new windows, doors, paint, a light/fan combo and refinished hardwoods. The first space is halfway presentable because it's the room my parent's call home when they come visit.
The second space, welp, I'm just keeping it real. At first it was a smidge of an improvement....
But now, yeaaaaaa, it looked much better in the "before".
This space is where all my half-worked-on-crafts, maybe-going-to-start-one-day projects, extra decor and random junk live. It's not pretty, but it's real life. I'll get my act together one day, and actually paint this room a color I like, but I'm pretty sure I won't do it until we have a child to put in there. Embarrassing? Yes. True story? Yes, again.
Don't worry....after this less than stellar post, I'll be sharing our master next! I've re-worked this room more than any other in our home, and I think it's safe to say, I'm finally loving the outcome! Stick around! :)
