In Stone House Revival season 3 episode 2, titled "1839 Lofty Master Suite," host Jeff Devlin takes on the task of transforming a historic stone house's master bedroom into a luxurious and comfortable retreat. The episode starts with Jeff meeting with the homeowners, who have been living in the house for two years and are ready to update their bedroom space.
The master bedroom in this particular stone house is located in an attic space with unique architecture and challenges. Jeff must work around the sloping ceiling, exposed beams, and small windows to create a stunning room. He begins by tearing down the old plaster walls and replacing them with drywall, which will allow for a more modern finish.
Next, Jeff installs new insulation to make the space more energy-efficient and comfortable. To add character and warmth to the room, he uses reclaimed barn wood to create a unique feature wall behind the bed. Jeff also installs new lighting, including a chandelier and sconces, to add ambiance to the space.
One of the biggest challenges Jeff faces in this space is creating enough storage. He decides to build custom drawers and shelves into the sloping ceiling, maximizing the available space. To complement the storage, Jeff also installs new built-in closets with doors that match the barn wood feature wall.
Jeff also updates the master bathroom adjacent to the bedroom. The bathroom has original exposed stone walls that add texture and character to the space. To modernize the bathroom, Jeff installs a new shower, toilet, and sink, as well as new lighting fixtures. He also adds a custom-built vanity with plenty of storage to keep the space clutter-free.
The homeowners are thrilled with the results of their new master suite. They now have a comfortable and stylish retreat that makes the most of the unique architecture of their historic stone house. Jeff's attention to detail and use of creative solutions make this update a stunning success.
"1839 Lofty Master Suite" is a captivating episode that showcases Jeff's expertise in working with historic properties. The challenges presented by the sloping ceilings and unique architecture of the space highlight Jeff's ability to think outside the box and create solutions that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. This episode is a must-watch for fans of historic home renovations and those looking for inspiration for their own home updates.
