Master Bedroom Remodel

Oh, the master bedroom...I could say so much about this room. I one word. NASTY. The red carpet was sooo gross. As soon as we bought the house we ordered new carpet. But, it took a few months to have it ordered and installed. I never once stepped on the carpet barefoot. I was afraid I would get a disease. Ha ha. 

The oak trim was nasty. The fireplace was nasty. The oak gun cabinet was nasty. The blinds were nasty. 

This was the first room we worked on. 

Here is the room before...



Fireplace


Gun cabinet




Nasty red carpet





These blinds were sooo bad!! This is the only thing they wanted to do. It would take JD and I about 30 minutes each night to try to get them all the way down on each side. Such a pain!! I was sooo glad to get rid of them. 


All the room in the house needed new blinds. So, we bought all the rooms these nice white ones. So much better!! Now just need to get rid of the oak trim. That's this weekends project.

Our room looked like a disaster for quite awhile. We didn't want to set up our bed because we were waiting for the new carpet. So, everything was just kind of laying around. 


We decided to paint the fireplace and the oak cabinets before the carpet arrives so that we didn't have to worry about spilling any paint on the new carpet. 


It was a HUGE project. We ran out of paint halfway through and had to run and buy more. The paint spray gun used the paint up a lot faster than a roller brush. 



Poor JD was covered in paint. The spray gun made paint particles float around the room. Most of it landed on him. I had a good laugh :-)



We painted all the walls in the room. We added one accent wall. We used my favorite color...teal. You'll see I use this color all over my house. I {heart} it!!


Here's the accent wall all done. 


And here's the room mostly done. We still need to do the trim and the door. 



I love my vanity!! My dad bought it for me for my High School graduation. I painted it white. It's my favorite. 


We installed a fan and two beautiful lights. 


I love having a couch in our room!! Feels like our own little apartment. 



We plan to insert an electric fireplace soon. Can't wait for that. 


The gun cabinets look better white. They had gold knobs on them. But, I spray painted them teal and they look vintage cool now!! I'm so smart. 


Well, that's a tour of the master bedroom. It feels kind of like paradise.
