Our Bedroom Remodel

It's official we have a third bedroom and I am overjoyed on how it turned out!
Don't think for a minute this was an easy process, it took us since September to complete. Especially since we were doing it ourselves. My sweet husband has worked almost every Saturday and occasionally after work during the week when he didn't have other engagements. But he did it...Just in time for golf season too! :-)

The Plans

Taking the lovely paneling off

Tearing down the wall between the sun room and laundry area

Our Helper... (I would cringe every time he would swing that hammer back!)

Bart (Blake's Dad) Helped us so much! He gave up a lot of fishing trips to come work on the room. It was greatly appreciated!

Getting the framing up

We found this door in our basement?! I absolutely love it. It was difficult for me to paint over the original wood, but I love how it turned out in the space as our closet door. To me it's like a furniture piece that compliments the look of the rest of the room.

 

The carpet is so warm and soft I love the tones it pulls with every thing else!

This room cost us about $3,000 to complete. This was my first big remodel I've done, and I learned a lot from it. It was so much fun to design something for us, and to bring my vision to life. Not to mention it is heavenly to have our own little oasis to come to at the end of the day.

Bedding: I can't remember?? We bought it 6 1/2 years ago when we were first married from Bed Bath and Beyond. I'm a little embarrassed how wrinkly it is!!
