Current Look: Upstairs

Welcome to phase 3 of the Dobson Home.  With the main floor complete and the backyard reno beginning soon, the upstairs will be gettin some love too!

I have already painted a couple of the spaces.  One of which is the stairway.  I used Valspar's "Vanilla Milkshake" and I love it! It really brightens up the hallway.

Plans for this space are spray painting the chain and top fixture of the light black, and adding another picture wall.  This picture wall will feature all old family photos from the 1960's prior. I can't wait to do this project! I'm going to re purpose the railings and put in new carpet to complete this area.


This is guest bedroom #2 / nursery when the time comes :] I painted it up in Valspar's "Wipeout" (blue walls) and Valspar's "Subtle Touch" (Grayish desk, trims and door).  I plan to paint wood knobs black to add to the desk drawers, a new light fixture, window treatments and bright/subtle furniture to off set the crazy blue! Throw down the same carpet as in the stairway and we are gooooood toooo gooooo.



Through the guest bedroom door, you can see the future master bedroom!

This will be the master bedroom! I am so excited to get out of that cramped room and into a space that is ours :]  We have to figure out how to fix the walls here.  The previous owner either taped of the drywall and didn't texture or painted over wallpaper.  An option I am thinking of is Grass Cloth wallpaper. It would add such a cool texture and get rid of those awful lines.  We could also get a drywall expert in to texture it for us.

We plan to do some DIY built-in storage and after the walls are completed we can finish off with carpet and add new window treatments, light fixture and fun furniture!  I can't wait!

Our master bathroom is a mess but should get going pretty quickly.  Once the last little bit of electrical is finished, we already have the supplies needed to finish framing out the space and all the green board that needs to go up onto the walls and ceiling. We can then mud and tape, put down some hardy backer and tile and texture and paint the walls, get new light fixtures and start putting in the fixtures. I am especially excited for our claw foot tub shown here :]

We are going to do our best at a built in clothes storage unit here - we'll see how it goes :]


Other than that, we will take our time with the bathroom.  We can get the rooms done and move our things upstairs but the bathroom will go as we have the time/funds to do it.
