Master Bedroom
What we've done:
- Changed our bedding
- Bought a rug
- Bought all our furniture for the room
- Paint these nightstands (never mind how long ago we primed them...and they're STILL not painted)
- Refinish the chandelier (the bright colorful flowers just aren't what we're looking for) or change it out with a ceiling fan (boring but would be appreciated for hot summer nights)
- Paint the bed frame or possibly create a new headboard (perhaps something rough and reclaimed?)
- Organize our closet so we can get rid of my husband's dresser
- Hang (and find!) artwork
- Find two matching lamps for the nightstands
- Paint the walls (probably we'll use SW Repose Grey to match our bathroom
- Paint the trim (thankfully it's already white-ish, so it shouldn't take as long as the other trim in the house)
- Add a few globally inspired throw pillows (I am really liking kilim touches right now) and perhaps a throw
- Change out our curtains
- Replace the light switches and outlets with matching white ones
- Eventually refinish the floors
What we've done:
- Painted the vanity and changed out the hardware
- Swapped out the formica vanity top with a cool granite one
- Painted the walls SW Repose Gray
- Painted the trim
- Added some nifty wall storage (I still have to write a post about it!)
- Hung some cheap art from a bird print book
- Decide whether we want to change out the shower doors with something less claustrophobic-maybe a curtain
- Possibly attempt to retile the lower portion of the shower walls and floors (they're slightly mismatched due to a shower pan replacement deemed necessary from the home inspection)
- Possibly demo everything and start again...who knows!
What we've done:
- Bought all the linens and curtains
- Bought two twin beds
- Hung artwork
- Paint the walls and the trim (though surprisingly the odd blue trim kind of works for now)
- Change out the outlets and light switches to white so they all match
- Find a lamp for the nightstand
- Spruce up the ceiling fan (maybe with paint)
- Add maybe a couple of chairs and a small table on the wall opposite the beds
- Perhaps refinish my husband's dresser that's being evicted from our room to be used here
- and of couse, eventually refinish the floors
Guest Room Bath
What we've done:
- Made over the vanity using paint, molding, and peel-and-stick tiles
- Replaced the faucet
- Replaced the light fixture
- Stripped the wallpaper
- Painted the walls
- Painted the ceiling
- Changed out the towel bar
- Pull up the old vinyl flooring
- Try to paint the subfloor (seen here)
- Live with it for awhile
- Then...demo everything except the tub!
- Change the layout, moving the toilet over to share the wall with the vanity
- Buy a smaller vanity and top
- Tile the floor
- Recenter the mirror (we bought an oval one a long time ago)
- Recenter the light fixture
What we've done:
- We took out the dated sliding glass doors
- Installed a curved shower rod
- Stripped the wallpaper
- Primed the walls
- Replaced the ugly pinkish-tan toilet with a nice clean white one
- Changed out the hardware on the vanity
- Hmm, where to start? Replace the vanity with something a little smaller so it doesn't have the odd little cutout...and perhaps a porclein top (IKEA has some nice ones)
- Change out the faucet
- Demo the tiles off the walls
- Put up some wainscotting or something in the place of the tiles
- Paint the walls
- Refinish (professionally) the tub and the tiles in the shower area to white
- Replace the floor tiles
- Change out the lighting-replace the ceiling fixture and add pendants in the vanity area
- Hang a mirror
- Add a little standing shelf unit for extra storage
What we've done:
- Bought bookcases to surround the window
- Well...
- Hard to say without a vision for this room!
- May turn into a sewing room/office
- Eventually (waaaaaaaay down the line) it'll hopefully be a kid's room
- I guess for now we need to hang artwork on the walls, finally hang our diplomas (stacked in a forgotten corner for now), and hang our curtains on an actual rod (not a tension rod balancing precariously on the old brackets left by the original homeowners)
- Paint the walls and touch up the trim
- Oh, and organize the closet...that is never a waste of time no matter what the room is
What we've done:
- Haha, barely anything (as you can tell!) other than hanging a few things on the wall and sort of hanging curtains (again balancing precariously on rods not actually installed)
- Get rid of extraneous furniture (ahem, such as that couch)
- Set this room up as the music room it's supposed to be (find a way to arrange the amp, guitars, and all the numerous gadgets that goes with them)
- Hang more art on the walls (add to the framed album covers already on the walls)
- Eventually rip up the carpet and refinish the hardwood floors
- Paint the walls (thinking of adding a plate rail and painting the wall below-maybe a sunny yellow?)
