Bear with me guys, a work assignment has just landed on my desk - I will continue this thread with the remainder of the upstairs as soon as I get a chance to sort out more photos. Thank you all for comments so far.
My house renovation & B&O installations
Hi Brian,
Love this thread, good to see all the work that has gone to create such a beautiful space.
The side tables in the smoking room, who are they made by, I remember seeing something simialr a while ago but forgot to ask who they were by and have been after something like that for my place?
Regards
Toby
Toby, thanks for your generous comments. Those side tables are from a UK company called Bluesuntree. I just had a look but I can’t see them on their website any longer but perhaps I’m missing it.. have a look. They have some nice stuff.
Hello again fellow Beoworlders - I'm back in the room 🙂 Finally got a chance to sort out and arrange some more photos.
Following the office we move next door to another bedroom. Here is the before pic:
We knocked the chimney flue out that served the fireplace in the original snug below which is now the cigar room. I also wanted to utilize the voids on either side of the dormer as it just seemed wasted space to me. We reconfigured the stud supports for the roof in order to build some MDF cabinets we could sink into the voids:
The smoke extractor and all the ducting for the cigar room ceiling vents are fitted inside the void to the left of the dormer:
MDF cupboards being buildt and sunk into the voids - underfloor heating fitted to the entire first floor as well:
The finished result of the 'Yellow room' or spare bedroom:
I placed a black Beoplay M3 on the desk and a yellow Beocom 2 - cable management sorted around the rear leg of the desk:
On the yellow cupboard a hommage to that well known 'Japanese surprise' photo and a miniature set of a Beovision 6 flanked by Beolab 6000s:
Next we come to the family bathroom/utility room off the landing, no B&O installed in this room. Here is the before pic:
It was vital for me to hide all water and soil pipes as 'boxing around them' (as can be seen on the left above) is simply not an option and one of my pet hates in UK construction - so we built cavity stud walls in all 3 bathrooms and ran all pipes inside:
Traditionally washing machines and tumble dryers are found in a dedicated utility room or family bathroom in Scandinavia, often in a cupboard made specially for it (The master bedroom is right next door and why would I want to carry washing up and down the stairs constantly - after all, you remove your clothes in the bedroom and put them back there after washing) Just as our kitchens, all the bathroom furnishings and sinks are from the danish company Kvik (note all the piping hidden in the stud wall behind)
All bathroom taps and shower thermostats in the house are from Hans Grohe:
Once again, wonderful style and execution! May I ask where you got the new frosted glass cabinet/closet doors? I need to redo the ones in my master bedroom and still haven't found what I want yet. Thanks!

Thanks so much Jeff. The entire black with glass wardrobe is actually from Ikea. You can purchase the glass doors separately and they're not expensive. Let me know if you need a link 👍

My B&O Icons:
🙂 Very nicely done! Love the AJ lamps. Have the floorstanding version.
Thank you Hiort. Good choice the AJ floor standers - I have several throughout the house 👍
I posted photos of the family bathroom straight after the yellow room but they have only just appeared on the thread now so you will need to scroll up to see them I'm afraid.
This then leaves the Master bedroom, the dressing room and the en-suite bathroom which I will start sorting out photos for now and post in due course. All three rooms have B&O installations.
