I have yet to photograph the #samuelfamilyfixer for myself and to show you guys the full tour (but this image from the shoot for Domino Magazine is still giving me life, as are the nightly baths right in this spot), so in the meantime I wanted to give you a look into what my non negotiables were for my dream master bath and delve into the design and making of it.
When we moved in there was an un-used and unfinished “hot tub room” just off the master bedroom (which you could also access from clover’s bedroom) that I suppose once had a hot tub in it, but by the time we got there it was by name only. Essentially, it was an un-heated and unfinished exterior room with decking for the flooring and plywood walls but it was a good amount of space and it had the best light with all the windows. The master bathroom at the time had almost no natural light and was divided up into two small rooms, one with the sink/vanity and the toilet and the other had an alcove bathtub and closet. Here is a look at the “as-built” floor plans and then what our plans were for the space.
I took the holidays properly off for the first time in hmm, I don’t know how many years, but after the year and a half of moving and renovating and moving again and again, and momming and working… the holidays lined up with the perfect time to take a minute to settle into the newly finished (top floor) of our house and enjoy the fruits of our labor. The icing on the cake… no, the icing and the sprinkles and the cherry on top, was the Winter Issue of Domino coming out with our own #samuelfamilyfixer (and my face) on the cover!
Domino has always been one of my favorite magazines, I still have a box of all the past issues I saved starting from when was in my early 20’s. To get to share the first look of our house within it’s pages is such an honor and I am thrilled to be able to start to roll out the rest of the reveals and tours here. Until then here are a few of my favorite images from the feature.
I’ll be getting down to all the nitty gritty of the renovation and sharing full tours with each of the rooms here, but until then I hope you pick up the Winter Issue of Domino to see the full feature. They are on stands now (until march 2020). You can also read the story and see some of the images here.
Happy 2020! This might even be the year that we finish the other half of the house. ;). To get caught up on all things #samuelfamilyfixer head here.
