The Master Suite

in , ,

I wanted my Master Suite to be an uncluttered refuge from the world. In my mood boards as I was designing the space words like simple, peaceful, sanctuary and spa like, continued to surface.

I would make my sleeping quarters to the rear of the house and my sitting room in the front of the house. Since narrow houses are not good candidates for walk-in closets, I would dedicate a full wall in the sitting room for closet space and the opposite wall for the little TV watching that I do.

The Master Bath would extend the entire length of the landing and provide me with a large vanity, a separated shower and my beloved slipper tub for a good soak each night before bed.

Here's what the plan looked like. The balcony is still to come, and we are still awaiting the arrival of my fancy Runtal European radiators, but otherwise we are done.

A quick reminder of how "un-Master" like my bedroom was, shortly after moving in. However, because the room got such good light, it was my main scheming wall when it came to selecting the color palette for the entire house.

Here is the Master Bedroom now.

From the Master Bedroom you can look beyond the bathroom, down the landing and into the sitting room with my new closet and shoe storage on the right of the new space.

This was what the sitting room raw space looked like when we demoed the kitchen. We were hoping for a fireplace on the left, but it was bricked up long ago.

And the finished sitting room...
