Our Chic Black Master Bedroom Suite!

It’s Mooooonday!!! I cannot even believe we are one week into December already. Overwhelmed would be the understatement of the century. For real. I just filled up my calendar with 65+ (okay slight exaggeration) Holiday events for my kiddos ranging from their Christmas parade performance this Thursday to Santa pictures at school. I might need to up my espresso intake just a tad these next few weeks. I promise I AM still trying SOO hard to finish up my Our Historic Wonderland reveal for you guys as quickly as possible! I have SOO much new stuff to share too but of course wanting to share these reveals first!

Since I jabbered your heads off last week with our million and one mishaps during move-in week along with every detail I could possibly recall from our renovations/restorations thus far (Read that HERE & HERE), today will be short and sweet. If you read through any “chapters of my novel” (i.e. super long blog posts) last week, you may remember that our master bedroom was originally a secondary bedroom with a jack & jill style bathroom and then another bedroom on the adjoining side. Since I decided to move the master suite downstairs and the girl’s bedroom upstairs, I changed the first bedroom into our master bedroom, the jack & jill bathroom into my dressing room/our toilet room and then the adjoining bedroom into our master closet.

Master Bedroom

Although our bedroom did once have original hardwood floors (which you can see in the first image above but then they have already been removed in all remaining images), I had to choose one room to forgo original hardwoods for extra needed to patch in other rooms where we had removed walls/staircases/etc. I chose the master bedroom because I had fallen head over heels for a brand new hardwood from Shaw Floors called Muir’s Park in Bridal Veil…

MY SHOES

Since I had chosen black walls (Inkwell by Sherwin Williams), the light/dark contrast was perfection. And P.S… the walls look lighter/slightly blue in these images but it appears much more black in real life. Shaw Floors is coming out with an amazingly HUGE selection of whitewashed flooring that you will soon see throughout our home. I found it super difficult to find real hardwood flooring in such a light finish so I was SUPER excited to partner with Shaw Floors! I had the opportunity to select flooring that has not quite been released yet so keep your eye out for the release of their gorgeous new line! The color added such warmth to the space and really showcased the walls, trim and other features of the space. In love!

As I mentioned last week as well, since we sold our home in September and decided to really hit the ground running with OHW, we decided to let some projects wait until after move-in. And our master closet was one of them. We simply hung a rod to get us by for now and then I have big plans for a beautiful custom closet in January! So stay tuned!

So here’s what we did…

1. First, we created a doorway from the new master bedroom into the new master bathroom on the right side of the fireplace. We also re-configured the jack & jill bathroom to create a separate toilet room for our master bathroom.

2. We re-ran all electrical, all HVAC and restored the original windows.

3. Spray foam insulation.

4. Sheetrock!

5. We installed beautiful thick molding on the baseboards, crown and windows! Read more about that HERE… “Trim, Ceilings and Moldings Oh My!“

6. Paint! Read more about that HERE… “Paint, Paint and More Paint…“
