This bedroom is on the opposite side of the house from the others. It has a large walk in closet that has also completely redone from top to bottom.
Bedroom #4 (11' x 12.5')
(currently used as the Master Bedroom)
 |
| Notice the window air conditioner unit? The previous owners used this to help cool this room on top of the regular central air that worked for the entire house. Three of the four walls in this room are hit directly by the south Texas sun most of the day and like the whole house, this room did not have any insulation in the walls, not to mention the single pan windows with poor caulking; it got VERY HOT & STUFFY in the summer. |
DEMO
 |
| Demo was a fun job for the kids! All drywall in this room had to be removed. |
 |
| ... a place where there at one time used to be a window! We found two other previous window openings that had once existed on the opposite wall. This room once had 5 different windows (three now covered by wall)! I wonder if it used to be a sun room at one time years ago? |
 |
R13 insulation in the whole room! ...and the brown door? It's replaced!
|
 |
| AFTER of this particular corner. All white walls to help it feel crisp and fresh. And notice the new door! |
MORE DEMO and repair... from another angle.
AFTER~
 |
| After adding insulation, the walls were finished with 1/2" drywall covered in "bead board" panels. To trim off the room, crown moulding was added in addition to 5 1/2" baseboards. |
 |
| New bedroom carpet (professionally installed) meets up with the laminate wood floor from the hall area outside this bedroom. |
Close-up showing the bead board and crown. This room originally did not have any trim around the ceiling, so this crown and corner pieces are a nice added detail. The windows are new energy efficient double paned windows with 2" Bali (faux wood) mini blind.
