Master Suite Ideas

4/14/2013

11 Comments

 
Remember when I posted about my grand plans to redo our bedroom/bathroom/closet/office?  (http://www.quiltedaffair.com/1/post/2013/01/master-suite-remodeling.html)  Well I'm sad to say that we haven't made much progress towards saving up for it.  Until we get the credit cards paid off, the only savings we have budgeted is towards our emergency savings account.  Saving for the Master Suite remodel happens if we come in under our weekly budget - whatever extra is left goes towards the master suite.  Sadly, we've only saved $40 so far, LOL.  I think we probably won't get much saved up until after the credit cards are paid off and we can actually dedicate a good chunk towards it each morning.

Additionally, I had assumed we would keep the flat roof over the office that is there now.  See the white square on the picture below?  The room that will eventually be the bathroom was an addition onto the original house and they put a flat roof on it.

The problem with the flat roof is that it constantly leaks, has a weak railing around it and is really a waste of space.  After talking about it for a while, Ryan and I agreed that the flat roof needs to be replaced and there is no point in even thinking about remodeling until after we get the roof redone/replaced.  Obviously that would greatly increase the cost so now it will be even longer until we are ready to start working on it.

I would really love to try and get a contractor out to look at the roof there and talk about our options and possible costs.  I was going to have an old acquaintance who owns a contracting company do it but it didn't end up working out due to his other commitments (maybe later).  At the very least, I'd like to take the vaulted portion of our bedroom roof (on the lower left of the above photo) and extend it to the back of the flat roof - getting rid of the dormer and door that exit onto the flat roof.  But ideally, it would be really awesome if we could extend the roofline such that we end up with useable space or even a full room on the second story!  

So in the meantime, I am continuing to surf the web and Pinterest for ideas for the bathroom.  I still like the layout from my original post:
Picture
I saw this picture of a shower and I L-O-V-E the "river" of pebbles that run down the wall and across the floor
Picture
Our shower will be a walk in shower (see above) and I'm not sure what I want to do on the walls of the shower but I think I want to put these light pebbles on the floor.
Picture
For colors, I saw this landscaping picture that gave me some inspiration.  I love the greens, and blues with the sea glass or tumbled glass - it looks like a river.
Picture
So try to imagine some sort of light colored tiles on the shower walls, the white flat stones on the floor and then a flowing river of green and blue sea glass going down the wall and spilling over the floor.  

Outside of the walk-in shower, we'll do a darker tile that looks like hardwood.  Here are a few of the color options I'm thinking about.  I love the look of the wood but wouldn't want to deal with hardwood in the bathroom.  These new beautiful wood tiles are a perfect compromise.

Here's a picture of some of the sea glass you can buy.  I like all of them except the amber in the top right and my favorite is the one in the bottom row underneath the green - where there's  mix of white, blue, aqua and green.
Picture
We will have a free standing tub against the half or 3/4 wall.  I think I found one at Home Depot that looks nice and isn't too expensive.  The tub is actually gray on the outside and white on the inside.
Picture
They have an all white version too if I decide against the gray.

I haven't figured out countertops or sinks yet but I still love this gigantic mirror
Picture
And I would also like to incorporate this tile work somehow.  Not sure if it would be on the walls or as a backsplash somehow but I love the ocean and sand look it has.
Picture
So the theme for my ocean/coastal bathroom is really coming together! Things to try and pick next: cabinets for under the vanities, countertops, sinks & faucets, lighting and what the glass block or windows around the shower walls will look like.

I haven't started looking at the office or closet/laundry yet but I am slowly starting to think about the bedroom and the only thing I'm ready to share is these AMAZING wood tiles I found.  In the bathroom We have the dark wood ceramic or porcelain tiles.  I want the bathroom tiles and bedroom hardwood to be a similar color but Instead of the "planks" of hard tile...I want to do these tiles in the bedroom - they are actual wood cut into the most amazing shape!
Picture
More on the bedroom later but I was too excited about these wood shapes to hide them from you.  Ryan's a little worried they might be too busy but I really don't think so - I think they would add interest to the floor without being too crazy.  What do you guys think?
