Brother Bedroom Battle

Coming off a big win last week, I was ready to even the score by building a new main bedroom/bathroom suite on my addition. With second-floor views and my secret luxury amenities, I’m going to take this competition to a whole new level.

Drew’s Before & After

BUILDING A MYSTERY

I don’t have many rules in design, but I do have this one: if you can put in a secret bookcase, you definitely have to. It’s useful for storage, it adds a unique element for buyers … and come on, who doesn’t love a secret bookcase?!

A NEW WAY TO MONITOR SCREEN TIME

But hey, why stop there with the surprise reveals, when you can have a TV pop up at the foot of your bed? Aside from the cool factor, storing the TV helps keep the design clean and the vibe relaxed.

FANCY MEETING YOU HERE

Honestly, I may have outdone myself with the reveals in this room. I’ve seen this barn-door/passthrough window feature in high-end hotels, which is exactly the feel I want for this main bedroom suite. It makes both rooms feel bigger and keeps clean lines throughout the space.

I can’t believe I let Drew back in the competition with last week’s loss. It’s time to go big by using our addition space to my advantage, with a massive main bedroom and bathroom, and a walk-in closet to boot (for boots?).

Jonathan’s Before & After

BEAM ME UP

I’ve had success before in this competition by raising the roof—well, technically, the ceilings–so I’m doing it again here. These beams tie into the design of the kitchen and other areas of the house, but they’re even more impressive here, running the width of the room in these beautiful vaulted ceilings.

TWO BATHS IN ONE

Modern Spanish flair has been the name of the game in this house, and I’m bringing it into the main bathroom with more stunning tile and the statement piece: a clawfoot tub. Plus, placing the tub right under the windows will literally bathe our buyer in natural light. (I love it when great puns and great design come together.)

STORAGE WARS

I’m betting our potential buyers and our judge, Jasmine Roth, will want to see lots of storage in our main bathroom. I’m delivering with additional cabinet space right outside the beautiful shower, too, for those times you forget your towel. It’s the little things (in big spaces) that are going to win me this challenge.
