Starting On The Master Bedroom...Again

So when we first purchased the house we had a different sucky contractor who tore our house apart with wild abandon and then kind of did nothing but waste our money.  The master/bath was the first thing that was started.  Once he was fired we kind of moved our focus to the kitchen addition since it really was the biggest thing we were doing to the house.  Now that the kitchen is in deathstar mode (operational but not finished) and we have a toilet and a place to hang out we've shifted our focus back to the master (and the laundry room and my daughter's bathroom and the porch.  Maybe focused is not the appropriate word).  

So as a little reminder, our master started off as a smallish room

Yes the lighting is bad.  What can I say, photography is not my forte.  Then we knocked down the wall between this and the room to the left of it.

This half will actually be our bedroom and the other half the sitting area.  We'll have pocket doors in between in case one of us wants to watch television.  This is our compromise.  I hate to fall asleep with the tv on, my husband loves it.

So here's what the rooms look like today.

This is the master bedroom now and that is going to be my closet.  

This is the closet in my last house.  So now we have a bigger house, yet my closet has shrunk.  Oh well.

And this is the sitting area.  The room has shrunk a bit from the original so that we could enlarge the bathroom which was miniscule.  

So, can you say Kaboom!  You really have to see it in person to appreciate what a nightmare it is.  We're doing baseboards and trim work in the room now.  That and paint will make a huge difference.  Now I just need to figure out how to stuff all my clothes which I don't fit, shoes, and purses into that closet.  I have a feeling The Goodwill is going to love me.
