West Saint Paul Master Bedroom - Hanson Remodeling

Story:

Before: This spacious attic space was finished just enough to be used, but was in need of an upgrade.

After: Warm insulation, cohesive finishes, and stylish built-ins create a Master Bedroom made for the kiddo’s play time and mom & dad’s quiet time.

Highlights:

Marvin replacement windows are painted on the inside and weather resistant aluminum clad on the outside, with decorative grilles to accent the original character of the home
Inefficient baseboard heat was replaced with a period appropriate radiator salvaged from a previous project
All new electrical and lighting plan gently illuminates while providing light for specific areas
Closed-cell urethane foam and rigid Thermax foam insulation keeps the bedroom cozy in the winter and cool in the summer
Precise framing and drywall edges create clean lines where roof rafters and walls have settled over the years
Custom cabinetry and bookcases provide much-needed storage and display space
The new reading alcove is a serene place to escape into a book
New Hickory flooring invokes natural beauty and warmth
Mismatched doors, doorknobs, and cabinet hardware have been replaced for a unified look
1970s millwork has been replaced to match the original 1920s trim
A combination of bookcases and open railing create storage while bringing sunlight down into the stairway
Ill-finished closets now have bright lighting and matching floors
Paint colors are warm and inviting, for a relaxing retreat
