Moving Back to the Master Suite

It's official. The master suite is functional and nearly finished, and we got the green light to go ahead and start moving back in to the rooms. It's a big day at Remodeling 1070!

There are a few finishing touches, like the granite top piece on the shower wall and the build out of the closet shelving units, but the rest of the suite is fully functional: lights work, toilet works, shower works, sinks work, a/c is reconnected.

Some of the final results are posted below. Ready for the next phase, which we hope is the den and kitchen. It would be nice to have appliances again.

Lighting fixtures in the master closets.

The assembled cabinets, sinks, mirror and hand towel racks. The gray towels are not staying - going with navy and khaki instead.

The fully functioning, comfort height toilet. There will be a granite top on the half shower wall.

Master Suite - Getting to the Finishing Touches

Well, it looks like we may be able to start moving back in to the master suite by this coming weekend. It's almost a fully functional room at this point, and by the weekend, all that should really be missing is the interior closet build outs (and those will be ordered soon).

As you will see in the photos below, the rooms are making tremendous progress. The bathroom is 90% complete. All that's left are some fixtures to install, cabinet hardware and doors to add, some window trim painting. The bedroom itself is nearly complete. There again, we're down to some trim painting, door fixtures and the closet interiors, which will be made to order and installed soon. Each closet will have a customized wall of shelving and drawers with a long rail facing on the opposite wall.

So, hopefully, by the end of the weekend, we will be able to put the furniture back in the master suite and start unloading some of what has been stored in the POD in the driveway. Enjoy the photos below. More to come this weekend!

All that is missing in the temperature fixture at the bottom and

the granite top on the half wall on the right.

The new window of the master bedroom. Trim will be painted white.

A fully functioning toilet (amen) and a framed window of glass block, which

will also have white trim.

The glass block on the adjacent wall of the master bathroom.

The tall white doors will be installed on the end cabinets this week.

A nice view of the double sinks, granite counter top and custom cabinet work.

There will be a mirror that takes up the entire space between the end cabinets.

Master Sweet

Well, friends, it's August 1, and we are moving ever closer to the August 31 deadline for the completion of Remodeling 1070. I'm not sure if that deadline is going to stick, but things are certainly moving in the right direction.

The work continues on a daily basis, and it looks like we are inching closer to having a completed master suite. As you will see in the photos below,

• The wood floors are being installed. In fact, as of this writing, the flooring is completed in the master suite.
• The shower floor is installed.
• The half wall between the shower and the toilet is being installed. It will be crowned by a piece of granite that matches the counter top in the master bath.

The bedroom is painted a pale, almost silvery gray with one blue accent wall. One of the master bedroom closets is painted. This week will hopefully see the rest of the painting get done and the final assembly and installation of the bathroom hardware and cabinets.

We visited with a company that specializes in building organizational structures for closets, and we are waiting for their quote and drawings to see what they design.

So, while we still hope that August 31 is a reality, it does look like we are just a week or two away from being able to move all the furniture back in to the master suite! Progress is such a good thing :)
