"Final" addition pics!

[dr.girlfriend]

The blinds got installed and we had cleaned up for a party so here are some "final" pics of our addition.  I am still on the search for my white whale of a coffee table, but otherwise I'm super happy with how it all turned out.  It was kind of a gloomy-weather day so it doesn't really convey how beautiful the light is in there.

Bedroom:

(The upper blinds are remote-control motorized):










Master Bathroom:




New Hallway:


"Expanded" Living Room:






While I'm at it here's the coffee table the staff at Marshall's broke along with my heart (lol) that I'm still searching for -- if anyone is around Philly and sees one please let me know!

Beautiful! You’ve done a great job of dressing and finishing the spaces. I’m impressed with your speed of getting it done. I love bathroom so much too. Great choices all around.

Love it. What do you have up in the loft?

[winecat]

Great work!!

Right now just a lot of junk.  :-)  All my stained glass stuff that I packed away 11 years ago when I was pregnant with my son, extra art and furniture, etc.  We will probably slowly get rid of most of it, but it was enough to make the "cut" of stuff we kept from our garage before we knocked it down.

Your house is beautiful. I mean, so gorgeous I can't stand it. You have wonderful taste.

dr.girlfriend - looks awesome! Do you have a link for those blinds or a brand? They'd be perfect for this big window we have in our kitchen that looks right into the neighbor's driveway.

They are from Budget Blinds, but the samples and stuff they use (or at least these) come from "Horizons Window Fashions."  They are the sample "Savannah".  Let me know if you want more close-up pics, etc.  I especially love how the unlined ones look with sunlight through them!  DH tested them out and you can kind of see silhouettes/shapes moving behind them at night but unless you don't want someone to know you're home at all they are good for privacy.  My only concern is that the ends seem like they may be prone to fraying...I might try to run a line of glue down the back of them or something.  I noticed that on the sample but was hoping they might sew the edge when they were cut to size but nope.  You can get the edges "bound" but I don't like that look.

Here's a close-up of the sample -- it's the one on the left.

Everything turned out so lovely. It feels like such a comfortable and restful space. You guys did a wonderful job.

This isn't exactly like your coveted coffee table but could it work?

Thanks, that's a good option!  I think I have that same one bookmarked on another site:

www.wayfair.com/furniture/pdp/mercury-row-andersen-solid-wood-coffee-table-with-storage-mrow8848.html

So many companies sell the same furniture under different names that I was really hoping I'd find that one I liked somewhere else, but no luck so far.  :-(  What I really liked about the Marshall's one is that it appeared to be solid wood, not a veneer.  Most of the ones that are solid wood are still a veneer on top, and I know we are not going to be careful with coasters, etc.

It looks so pretty and homey at the same time. Like, it's the best of a magazine and where people actually want to live. Well done!

This and I’m so impressed how finished and put together it all looks. After designing an addition I would have expected more blank wall/corner spaces that you haven’t addressed yet. Newp, it’s done to the nines!!

[lessel]

Gorgeous! Everything looks great!

[thejackpot]

Looks great!

[bullygirl979]

Looks gorgeous!!

It's beautiful! I also really love the hallway, there's just something about it, it's quite lovely. You have such great taste, I love what you've done with everything.

I love that sweet little computer table!

dr.girlfriend, I am admiring your bathroom. We need to redo ours desperately. Are your floors LVP or tile? I am struggling to pick a tile theme so to speak. We need tile for the shower, large garden tub surround next to the shower and flooring.

They're tile...the plan was to have heating underneath but my contractor forgot.  :-)  That said, the ruggable rug covers pretty much the whole area we walk on so it's been fine.  IDK if you have Floor & Decor by you but it's from there:

Love it!! I looks so peaceful and homey.

Do you have a World Market near you? The table looks like it would be something they carry.

Thank you!  I don't want the cold tile -- we have a huge bathroom with carpet now(sounds gross, but I love it on my feet).  We do have Floor and Decor - I have been playing with their visualizer thing to try to help me pick.

Not close enough that I could casually stop in...do they have stuff that's not online?  I've been checking out their online offerings -- I agree it looks like something they would have!

This is perfection! well done.

It turned out great!
