Bathroom

I love a design challenge, and if you’ve ever seen other posts from my DIY Ranch Design Series, then you know that this entire project was full of them. The first and biggest one could’ve been a deal breaker, and I’m not talking about the little-blue-bathroom that was. It was the poolroom-turned-master-bedroom.

At first glance, this room looks like a strictly cosmetic renovation, but what is not seen here is that it was built much later and completely separate from the rest of the house. The only way to access this room was through the outside, meaning there was no way to enter the poolroom from the house. And we just couldn’t leave the room with the best views to be hardly enjoyed. It was important to have the entire house be one open, fluid space.

Thus, the poolroom had to be figured into the house.

Welcome to Part III of my DIY Ranch Design Series. As I’m sure you gathered from Part I & Part II, the entire renovation process is such a creative and therapeutic outlet for me, and has been since I was a little girl. My parents didn’t believe in paying for anything that we could make or build ourselves, encouraging us to put our imagination and ingenuity to good use.

And why not? If you take one large project and divide it into smaller sub-projects, anything is possible. If a sub-project goes wrong, it doesn’t have to affect the whole project. The Blue Bathroom is the perfect example of how to salvage the big picture—always!
