Burgundy Before Part 2



This is the hallway that leads back to the bedrooms. The door casing on the right is the front entry. The door on the left that you can see is the stairway to the upstairs. We are going to open that up where you can see some of the stairs and move the door to the top of the stairs. 


If you turn left by the stairs that is where the guest bathroom is. If you keep going down the hall there is a coat closet on the left and a guest bedroom on the right. The doorway straight ahead is the second guest bedroom. The doorway right past the closet on the left is the master bedroom.








This is the guest bathroom off of the hallway. It has a room you walk in that has a big linen closet and a large vanity with sink. 




Then you have another doorway that leads to the bathtub, toilet and another small sink.


We are planning on tearing it all out except for the tub and linen closet and basically making it one larger bathroom without the doorway in the middle. That will hopefully leave room for double sinks.


This is the first guest bedroom that was evidently the boys room since it has blue trim.


This is the second guest bedroom that was obviously the girls room with the pink trim and wallpaper.


This is the master bedroom in its current state. When you walk in on the left it has one closet, then the door to the bathroom and then a second closet.


This is the master bathroom. Which has obviously recently been renovated. So, I know some people are going to think we are crazy for ripping it out but these are our reasons:

  1. This is really not our style at all.
  2. I am in love with my current master bath and want to make this master bath at least resemble my current bath. (Look back at this old post to see what my bathroom looks like.)
  3. I am hoping and praying that we can combine the areas from this bathroom, the two closets and the hall coat closet to make a walk in closet and a bathroom. 
We are planning on reusing the vanity, toilet and mirror in this bathroom for the upstairs bathroom. 


These photos should give you a good idea of the house in its original state. Ryan has already had all of the demo work completed. So, the upstairs, kitchen and all three bathrooms have been gutted down to the studs. The dining room, living room and all the bedrooms are staying the same they are just desperately in need of some paint. 


We are working fast here. We already have a contract on our house and Ryan has already sold our buyer's house. So we are trying to move as quickly as we can. Everything has moved really fast, but if you know Ryan that is just how he operates.
