My Casa Bella

COME IN THE EVENING, OR COME IN THE MORNING;

COME WHEN YOU'RE LOOK'D FOR,

OR COME WITHOUT WARNING.

KISSES AND WELCOME YOU'LL FIND BEFORE YOU,

AND THE OFTENER YOU COME HERE

THE MORE I'LL ADORE YOU!

Welcome To My Casa Bella

My Casa Bella- means-my beautiful home- but it can mean so many other things. How you make your home a home. The sounds of children or pets playing. The aroma of scones in the oven or a lilac candle burning. The flowers blooming in your garden. The home grown vegetables ready to be picked. Grandma's quilt at the foot of the bed. A fire to curl up to with a good book. Or just a family spending time together with love, laughter and a good time.

Master Suite Remodel

 So here we are, the next phase of our before and afters.
This phase is the Master Suite,
it's not large and that's how we like it, too big it's not cozy, too small it's crowded, 
we really like the size of this room, there's no walk in closet but there's enough closet space.
Before:
Bathroom remodel first
We had to completely gut this room out, we only kept the flooring
The original vanity that came mid thigh to me, it was nasty and falling apart
Added a new shower, a soaking tub.
 After:
light fixture from IKEA and shower curtain I made

New vanity and lighting

Next the bedroom remodel:
Orange sponge painted walls with a wall of speakers for some reason clustered together
This room we think was the "entertainment" space, there was some weird stuff in here that we were anxious to remove
They added a wall to make a walk in closet but it made the room so tiny and dark, it had to go.
So much better with it opened!

After:
Primed every inch of this room and instant brightness

Blue walls, with brown, white and cream accents
(we feel like we're in a tree house in this room, it's the only room that is three stories up, I can't look out the windows too long, I get vertigo..:)
With the wall down


Made the curtains, its so hard to find something I like, and if I do, it's so expensive, so I make it myself if I can.

We replaced all lighting in this room as well, sanded the floors, they stained them a black, put in closet organizers and added carpet in both closets. We just finished this room two weeks ago. Now its cozy and we love it.
Next posting will be of the two other rooms on the upper floor. 
Hope you enjoyed the tour.
