Bedroom Remodel

Dark and Dated - This Master Bedroom Needed to Be Turned into a Suite....It was opened up and the closets moved from one side of the room to the other to allow a more open feeling.
There were two openings to the bathroom off the master which made no sense. Also note the ugly "Brady Bunch" retro 70's yellow Glass window by the entry.
The wall of closets has been removed from this wall and placed on the other side of the room.
BEFORE - Showing the 3 closets and the room right outside the Master bedroom to be incorporated into the area.
Opened Up - One of the doors to the bathroom has been sheet rocked and closed in...Note the URINAL in the bathroom, it was removed also.
Goodbye Ugly Yellow Plexi-Glass Window from the 70's...
New drywall installed and taped where the "extra" door to bathroom and window were.
Looking in towards room from entry.

As Completed - Closets were "Flipped" to The Other Side of the Room - New Recessed Directional Can Spot Lights Installed - Entry Opened Up , Now Flows into Room and Supplies more Sitting Space - New Entry to Master Bath, New Crown Molding and Base, Popcorn Ceiling Removed, New Soft Beige Paint and Carpet.

Slate "Rug" at Rear Entry - Stone Mosaic Design

Stone is sealed 2x - then Grouted, and sealed a minimum of 2 more times.

Spacers - Exceptionally Important and Useful in Tile Work.
