Girls Bedrooms come together

Christmas at Edgewood La Chute continues with a tour of the Girls rooms.  Because the second story was added in the early 1900's the architectural style of the moldings and details were different from the downstairs but attractive all the same. The rooms were not in as much disrepair but our plans were to bring EVERYTHING up to current standards while keeping the original detail. 

Here are a few before photos.....

These photos were taken immediately after we acquired the house. There were items left behind by the previous owner that had to be removed. As you can see the drywall appeared stained and the closet space was minimal to say the least. Because this house contained a dog trot design there were Jack & Jill access to the two upstairs bathrooms on either side of the hallway. We opted to reconfigure the space to create better storage and eliminate the wasted space. So the closet to the left of the fireplace was removed and the access to the bathroom on the right was converted to a much larger closet.

All of the rooms received the same process. Repair, Replace and Re-texture the drywall. Scrape, sand and remove all old trim paint. New crown molding, Primer, Caulk, and Paint. I give credit to the girls for flying solo on most of this in their own rooms! Here is a look at Mallory's finished product. We are still in the process of furnishing but that's the fun part!

She selected Benjamin Moore Seapearl for her wall color and BM White Dove for the trim.

Yes, that is Blondie posing in the middle of all the pillows!

The bedroom closets had integrated mirrors in the doors which we re-used.

And here is the before and after of Jordan's room.....

There was a lot of clean up needed.  You can see the condition of the exterior doors and windows were in need of some repair. We created an additional closet space in this room to the left of the fireplace and installed drywall inside the old mini closet for extra storage. Decorative ceiling fans with crystal chandeliers were installed in all the girls bedrooms. They all implored their personal style to their bedrooms!

This room was painted in BM Classic Gray and Trimmed with BM White Dove. All of the hardware was removed, sanded and repainted by Steve to look fresh and new.








 

And Biscuit wouldn't be outdone by his mother. He had to get in on the photo shoot!

More to come Soon!
