Master Bathroom

When we first moved in, we had one full bathroom and one half bathroom. We closed off the one full bathroom to make a master suite (kind of like a safe haven for us).

To give you an idea of the layout, you had to walk through this hallway to get to the one full bathroom:

Once you arrived, things went from bad to worse...



Let's break this down:

  • dark blue wallpaper
  • teal carpet-yuck! Carpet should never be in a bathroom. This stuff was quick thick and we probably had a few mushrooms growing under it. Moisture and carpet do not mix. 
  • the famous Allison pineapple lights. These light fixtures were quite popular with my friends who came over. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Someone bought them from us on Craigslist, which made Jesse and I very happy =). 

Here's what we did:
We peeled off wallpaper and patched up the drywall.


We closed off the door to the bathroom and instead made a new entrance from our bedroom. This made it much more "master suite like." 
We also tore out the carpet (ahhh....)and vanity and instead added tile. 


And here's what our little place of solace looks like now:




So much cleaner and brighter =).
