... Overview of all remodelling work done

Master bedroom

Fortunately we could use the master bedroom as soon as the basic furniture arrived.

But as we had made the experience in the rental homes of the last 2 years that the vertical vinyl blinds were prone to falling of or twisting into each other replacing these type of blinds in all rooms was of high priority.

In one of the houses they had been cobbled together with tooth picks and adhesive tape !

Beside the verticals we needed fitted horizontal blinds for the small windows.

In 2019 we felt that the room needed a complete remodel: the original carpet was dirty and flat in areas and the sides of the softside waterbed were flattened, especially on Maria's side.

  • As the bedroom was empty first ...
  • ... we slept the first nights on the soft carpet in the front room, ...
  • ... until the bed and the chest arrived, ...
  • ... as bedside table we used a big cardboard box!
  • ... the horizontal blinds were too short ...
  • The horrible vinyl verticals were replaced by fabric blinds, ...
  • ... and, what a surprise, there were blinds fitting in length available!
  • The bears (and for us as well, of course) received reading lights.
  • And during the remodelling of the bathroom area ...
  • ... a new wall was put in.
  • 2012 new double-glazed sliding windows were added, ...
  • ... though they were not as high ...
  • ... as the old windows ...
  • ... but as the lower part of the window ...
  • ... is always hidden behind the bedside cabinet ...
  • ... we did not lose any light ...
  • ... and double-glazed windows insulate the room much better ...
  • ... and they keep the noise of the neighbour's a/c out!
  • 2019 we needed to renovate our bedroom.
  • To make sure we got the measurements right the wood laminate for the wall decoration was clicked together in advance, ...
  • ... before Juergen glued it ...
  • ... to the wall ...
  • ... above the new headboard.
  • We used the old foam mats ...
  • ... under the original carpet as base ...
  • ... and Juergen started laying the new laminate around the old bed.
  • In between he was working ...
  • ... on the under contruction for the waterbed in the garage.
  • It's time now ...
  • ... to empty the water out of the water mattress.
  • That's the old bed without the water mattress.
  • At last! With the old bed out of the way the last part of the laminate can be put in.
  • Done! And the headboard of the new bed is up, too.
  • Juergen is putting together the base construction of the new bed ...
  • ... here it is ...
  • ... and the liner has been put in, too, already.
  • Chaos in the front room when the water mattesses etc. were delivered
  • Here you can see the new water mattresses within their liners being filled.
  • Ready to be slept in ...
  • ... just the drawers ...
  • ... which will go under the bed ...
  • ... to be used for storage like linens etc. are missing.
  • Now the new bed is finished
  • And the teddybears have found their space already, too!
