A NEW DOOR IN OUR BEDROOM

Over Labor Day weekend, Bob knocked a hole in the wall in our room--on purpose. He did it to create a door from our room into the bathroom. It is just one thing on our long list of home improvement and remodeling.

He moved the laundry room to the utility room with the intention of creating a large master bath by combining the old laundry room and the current bathroom.

So, here are a few pictures for you. One is of him finding the stud. Then a gradual change from hole in the wall to actual door. Now, all he has to do is finish the bathroom!

Accent wall

Bob painted the fireplace wall in our room and created an accent wall. Here is a before and after look at it. Before, the whole room was painted in an off-white. It looked nice, but Sarah suggested making the fireplace wall an accent wall and suggested we paint it brown. I love it. Our next step will be to paint the rest of the room a slightly darker color than what it is now. This room used to be a family room and we are slowly turning it into a nice master suite.

Right now, Bob is putting a door from our room into our bathroom. As I said, this room was originally designed to be a family/living room and to get to the bathroom, you had to go out into the hall. Well, since we are making this a master suite, we would like to be able to go straight from the bedroom into the bathroom. So, Bob is putting the door in. Once that is done, he can remove the door in the hall and put up dry wall.

His next step will to work on the plumbing and put in a new sink and then slowly do all the rest of it.
