The Bedroom is Done

After 6 months the project is finely finished!

Five years ago when we bought this old house the very first thing we did was rip out the small closet in the main bedroom just to have a place to put our king size bed without covering a window. As I've learned on HGTV a room without a structural closet isn't a bedroom so one of the major concerns while redoing this room was to build a closet. We came up with the his/her closet idea on each side of the north facing window. I think it turned out beautifully! At first I was afraid it may make the room seem small but it hasn't in the least.

We had to re-plaster most of the walls as there was extensive damage especially under the windows. Over many years of neglect the plaster below each window had literally dissolved to the lathes. The electrical had to be redone and a new ceiling had to be installed.

We put in crown molding and framed out the doors and windows with traditional molding. This room is a perfect example of what impact molding can make in an otherwise plain room. Gary did a fantastic job installing all the trim. After so many houses he's become a pro at it.
I'm absolutely love the color we choose for the room. It's blue at night and green in daylight. I wanted a soft teal as that being my favorite color was the color I've been drawn to so all the bedding I've bought over the last few years matches perfectly.

Now my favorite part, buying accessories.
