The Current State Of Our Master Bedroom Suite

I’m fairly positive the doorway to the bed room suite seems precisely because it did on the finish of final 12 months. I beginning putting in the brand new French doorways in December, however I nonetheless haven’t completed these. That shall be the very first thing I achieve this that I can truly shut the doorways and maintain Cooper and Felicity out of this space of the home because the work begins. Proper now, they will each simply push the doorways open and get into this space.

To the correct is the doorway to the visitor lavatory, which should keep right here for the close to future. When all is alleged and completed, the doorway into this lavatory shall be moved out of the bed room suite and this lavatory shall be accessible through a hallway on the opposite facet of the lavatory.

To the left, simply contained in the bed room suite, is the doorway to what would be the large walk-in closet and laundry room combo. I had the door utterly eliminated, and I had the doorway centered on the wall of that room and opened up as excessive because it may go with out having to take away the highest plates of the load bearing wall. I’ve a imaginative and prescient for this, nevertheless it’s too laborious to clarify with out illustrations, so y’all will most likely simply have to attend and see it because it involves actuality.

As a result of that room shall be a closet, and I didn’t wish to have to regulate the cupboards to make room for a light-weight swap, I had them transfer the sunshine swap to the skin of the room. Try this drywall mud state of affairs. 🙁 This is likely one of the issues I’ll should right (or utterly redo) myself. (Should you missed yesterday’s publish about my contractor saga, you’ll be able to see it right here: The Contractor Saga – The Rest of The Story)

And right here’s the state through which the contractor left this room. The excellent news is that the large stuff truly did get completed. The room has a brand new vapor barrier below the ground, new insulation below the ground, and a brand new subfloor.

I did make a minor change to my authentic plans. As an alternative of getting the washer and dryer collectively on the correct facet, I had the hookup for the washer positioned within the again proper nook…

And the hookup for the dryer positioned within the again left nook…

I did this to maintain as a lot room as attainable accessible for the precise closet portion of the room. The washer and dryer shall be dealing with one another, and the doorways to each will open in the direction of the wall. At first, I used to be involved that there can be an excessive amount of house between them and it could be fairly a trek to get the garments from the washer to the dryer. However as soon as I marked out the scale on the wall, I spotted that they’d truly be shut sufficient to one another with solely the width of the window plus a number of inches separating the 2. You may see my marks on the wall exhibiting the place the entrance of every one will land on the wall.

However after I made that change, I spotted that I additionally want a water hookup for my dryer as a result of it has a steam perform. The dryer got here with a diversion hookup that’s presupposed to divert water from the washer hookup. However that diverter solely works when the 2 home equipment are side-by-side. With the 2 home equipment in utterly separate corners, that meant that I wanted a very separate hookup for the dryer. That’s an addition to the listing that I added later, and it truly received completed!

There are two issues for the dryer that didn’t get completed, although. First, I’ll want to put in the outlet for the dryer. Fortunately, the wiring is already there, so I simply want to connect an outlet. And second, the vent for the dryer nonetheless must be put in. I’ve been watching movies on YouTube exhibiting easy methods to set up dryer vents, and it seems fairly simple and simple, so I’m constructive I can try this alone.

Right here’s the present view wanting again in the direction of the door of the walk-in closet. It’s a multitude proper now.

And the remainder of this actually hasn’t modified since I confirmed you final. Nothing has been completed, and nothing has modified within the bed room portion of the suite. Right here’s the doorway into the bed room the place I had them take away the door utterly and open up the doorway to the ceiling.

After which I’ll offer you a fast look across the room, despite the fact that I’m fairly positive you’ve seen all of this already on the finish of final 12 months. As I mentioned, I don’t suppose something has modified in right here during the last three weeks.

I did determine to maintain the breaker field on this room. I don’t love the thought of getting the breaker field in our bed room, however I do like that this offers me fast and quick access to the breaker field in case of emergency. And I additionally like that holding it right here saves me about $3000 that I can use in the direction of different tasks. I’m 100% assured that I can disguise or cowl the field in a method that it gained’t present whereas nonetheless giving me quick access to it. However I’ll undoubtedly be transferring the attic entry out of this room and into the hallway. (By the way in which, a few of you had the thought of calling that space the “vestibule” now, and I actually like that concept. That sounds higher than “hallway”.)

And eventually, right here’s the look again in the direction of the doorway to the bed room suite (i.e., the vestibule 😀 )…
