Before: This was AJ’s bedroom, and before he came, an office. There were windows on 3 sides and a door onto an unused flat-roof “balcony” over the kitchen and back porch. We had grand plans for our Master Suite (or to be gender neutral, the Owner’s Suite) here.
During: This room all but disappeared.
The wood floor remained and on one day was simply hanging out into space without wall above or below (no, we didn’t get a picture of this). The space expanded over the new mudroom entry to the south (bedroom) and covered the old balcony to the north (new master bathroom) with a closet in between.
The view into the closet, and through to the wall of the shower. Yes, we've got a window in our closet!
The old wood floor and new wood floor meet in the bedroom.
After: What a great space! The beautiful batik that you see when you come in is a gift from my Aunt Mary. A small spotlight in the ceiling illuminates it.
The sun pours in through the windows in the afternoon/ evening – you’ll have to trust me on this since I took these pictures at night (it's winter here in Minnesota, the daylight is limited).
Boudicca was annoyed that I disturbed her nap on the bed. We have two small windows on either side.
The niche fits my dresser perfectly (it was planned that way of course).
And a view of the closet pocket door and into the “spa” (to be blogged next). The wallpaper and curtains are a William Morris Arts and Crafts reproduction print. We can’t believe all the space we have - it's our own private retreat!
