Dear Olive,
We are soon to embark on our bedroom renovation. It all started when Ella began to outgrow her toddler bed. We deliberated for some time on which room to relocate her to, since her present room is too small for a twin.
Option one was our guest room with the on suite, but since it also has a balcony, we worried about safety. Ella picks locks like a hardened criminal.
Option two was our present bedroom. This seemed more likely since it adjoins the jack and jill bath, so the kids could share and we could have our own space. The problem with this move; however, was that we would lose our three closets out of the master. And the small bathroom is in a state of disrepair with a terrible fiberglass shower.
In trying to solve this dilemma, I solicited the advice of many friends and family members. It was my mom who eventually suggested that we create an entrance to the small bedroom from the master to create a walk-in closet. We decided to go for it and to recreate the footprint of the bathroom while we were at it. Enter:
Leisure Suite.
Here are some specs on the dream:
I either want to go really light:
or really dark:
We've got to figure out the chandelier and the seating area:
Perhaps with a deco spin?
Since seeing the movie
The Intern, I have been obsessed with marble fireplaces.
I hope to find an antique mantel and then do an insert like this:
I'd love to makeover the bathroom for more functionality and luxury.
We are going to blow through one of the closets to enlarge the shower. I'm crossing my fingers for a mini clawfoot tub as well.
Stay tuned!
