Updating the Master Bedroom!

So. Our room is great! Absolutely love it!

There is just one little thing that is driving us bananas. THE PINE WOOD TRIM around every single window and door.

Windows/Balcony Door
Closet Doors/Balcony Door

Windows on back wall      


 


                   
So as you can see, there is a lot of it! And we want the modern look which is nearly impossible to achieve when you have trim surrounding literally everything.

We brainstormed and came up with several ideas. Paint the trim. Stain the trim. Put smaller trim around everything. Or simply no trim at all except the floor.

We chose the last option. This option is also the most expensive and time consuming to complete.

We removed the trim around the doors window and floor. It took about 3 hours for my husband and I to finish. That includes carrying those huge wood pieces with nails sticking out of them all the way to the garage across the house.

When we finished, I nearly had a heart attack after looking around the room and realizing what we had done. 1. We just bought this house a month ago. 2. This is one hell of a project to start with and complete. 3. Now what do we do.

So here is where we are at now...





Here is what we are going for...



Anyways so we had a professional come out and give us a quote for the work that needed to be done. We were originally going to do the work ourselves but why make it a 6-8 week job that might look okay when we could make it a 1-2 week job that will look great. The professional gave us a reasonable quote to make it look all pretty, so he starts tomorrow!
