Before the renovation there really wasn’t a master bedroom and bath. There was only one full bathroom in the house, which we closed off to the main hallway, added a linen closet to and ultimately converted into the master bathroom.
As far as the master bedroom is concerned, there were three different ways to get to the sleeping area before we gutted the joint. Through the bathroom, through the “third bedroom”/den type area and through what was the closet. We tore out that closet and the interior door and created an archway that became the entrance to the master bedroom. We also took about a third of what was the “third bedroom” and converted it into a walk in closet, giving us more than double the closet space that was previously available. Now there is just one way in or out, unless you count the windows, and it feels more like a true master suite.
