We have FINALLY started working on our Master bedroom. So this is Part 1! So to start off we have 2 odd nooks in our room. I tried everything to fill them and nothing looked just right. So we decided we would start with the first one and do a built-in desk that looks floating and floating shelfs then of course the TV. If you know me you know I LOVE tv. I know it’s really sad. I am one who loves to put the kids to bed and veg out and watch a good show. Yes I love all shows crime shows are one of my favorites but of course I also love things like the bachelor and Grays Anatomy. Nothing relaxes me more than just laying down and watching a show. So naturally I wanted one in our bedroom. Especially when Adam is out-of-town. I love putting the kids to bed and I usually go up in my bed with my computer and watch a show until I am basically falling asleep then I will shut my computer and go to bed. So now it will be nice to have something a little better to watch a show on. I know some of you are thinking NO DONT PUT A TV IN YOUR MASTER! I get it i really do i went back and forth with it but…….. Let me just say this there are a lot or prose for having a TV in your room. hahahah
1. When kids wake up early and you don’t want to get out of bed you can put on a show and be lazy in bed.
2. If you Husband is like mine and LOVES sports, you don’t have to hang out down stairs on a couch wanting to lose it because you’re so tired and board all at the same time. All because you want to hang out with your spouse. This way they can watch a late game you can be laying in bed going to sleep.
3 Then let’s be honest is there anything better than watching a movie laying down!
Now that you all know the pro’s with putting a TV in your room, back to more about the built-in :). So lets start with the shelfs. These are once again raw cuts of Alder wood. Just like we did in the Kitchen Shelf update here. This time though we did then thinner. Adam had to mill them down to make them straight and smooth. It takes some tools and know how to do them though. If you don’t have that DONT WORRY!!! If you are wanting to do this your self you totally can! It will be a little different but will give you the same look and feel. You can go to your local Home Depot and get there alder that is already milled smooth and ready to be stained. We love the look of alder it is a hard wood so is durable and great to work with and really strong.
For the drawer pulls and brackets we got them at Ikea then Sprayed them the perfect shade of gold. I will be doing a HOW TO on these shelfs later this week for you all!
For the desk we went with a 2 toned look. Just using cabinet grade plywood we get at Home depot and then Adam milled and did an amazing job on the fronts of the doors and drawers. They are of course Alder wood that he had to do a large glue up to make it the size we needed. It is beautiful though because as you can see the grain of the wood flows from the doors to the drawers.
We did not necessary need more storage in out home but this is what looked the best and fit the space so well. I will be using this desk as my makeup station. So yes I love it! I hope you all enjoy it as much as we do.
