LOL Im sorry, its highly fragrant you can smell her walking by, upright bush about 3ft and I just got her a few months ago. Lightly thorny dark green foliage.Everyone else has a touch of BS but her. Not sure on the petal count. Angela

"...I know what you're saying VirgilC, I'm just going to keep banging my head on this wall until..we get up the nerve to call on an architect I guess..." Well, yes, it can be fun searching and playing with stock floor plans. But unless one can find a stock plan that is virtually perfect for one's needs, with few revisions, it's often a frustrating waste of time. A much more productive approach may be to: --Create a list of priority "wants" and a second list of nice to have "desires, that both partners agree on; --Create a list of furniture and equipment, with dimensions, that a new house must accomodate; --Create a summary of lineal footage of storage necessary for the new house (chothes closets, food storage, etc.) And present these lists to an architect experienced with the successful design of houses of a size and character that are representative of one's interest. Working with your architect, all of the subsequent development of a responsive and successful house design will flow naturally (and enjoyably). Presenting a stock house plan to a licensed architect for a "few revisions" is like presenting an Internet diagnosis for an illness to a physician and asking for a written prescription based on the Internet diagnosis. It's an inaccurate and time-wasting (and money wasting) exercise that will only be frustrating to everyone. Additionally, in most states, it's illegal for a licensed architect to stamp designs not prepared by her/him or under her/his direct supervision. So whatever stock plan an owner may present will have to be completely revised and redrawn, and, of course, the experienced architect will see many errors, omissions and possible improvements to a stock plan far beyone what an average consumer will ever see. Finally, many folks are apprehensive to commission an architect to design their house and prepare the important construction drawings and specifications due to presumed expenses. The fact is, these early expenses are an owner's best investment to minimize construction-phase (too low) allowances by builders, minimize costly change-orders and to have a clear set of documents that illustrate fully the owner's desire for their house. Complete construction drawings and specifications become a legal instrument as the basis for a construction contract that is in the owner's interests, rather than simply turning everything over to the builder and hoping the builder will put owner interests before builder interests. Just some thoughts. I think you'd be a lot better using your time and energy working through your key planning and design criteria than searching the web for stock plans and spending considerable time wondering if/how they might be changed to fit your needs. Hope this helps. Good luck with your project.

Rob, if you have less than 30 1/4" between the two walls, it won't work for hairdrying. The user will be banging elbows into both walls. And yes, buyers will notice how narrow it is.. i know no women who sit down at a vanity to put on make-up. I certainly don't. It's a lovely, romantic thought, but not based on reality. The days of long, elaborate cosmetic rituals are long gone. As others have said, making this a make-up vanity will not update the condo, it will date it. My choice would be to make it storage or a spot for a pretty piece of furniture, as others have suggested. If you decide a sink is absolutely necessary, please improve the lighting. And change the flooring to something waterproof and cleanable! The thought of toothpaste on the carpet makes me shudder.

Random thoughts: - Do you have any library inspiration photographs? Personally, the first thing that comes to my mind is a Hogwarts library type look, but you may be thinking of something altogether different when you say "library". - Do you want it to be functional (meaning, lots of actual books) or are you going for a book-look /a book-vibe only? I personally no longer have a lot of books ... I'm a dedicated Kindle reader, and I love holding several thousand books in one hand. I've heard it said, Buying /collecting books is one hobby. Reading is a different hobby. - The room doesn't look all that big, and bookshelves on all the walls will shrink the room about a foot on each side. - If you're going with real bookshelves, consider whether your foundation can support the weight of the books. You might need to reinforce the flooring. I say that because I grew up in a house with a wide hallway /bookshelves on both sides, and my father did reinforce our floor. - I personally would consider closed cabinets under shelves (even though that's less library) because it'd allow you to hide kids' toys, board games, etc. - Would you consider book wallpaper? - I'm focusing on books, but do you want any other library functions? A table for reading or crafting? A card catalog? Throwing out a couple pictures myself ... I like this! Honestly, it's all about that great window, but you have a single window. The ladder is a must. So much for my Hogwarts idea. But I find this to be "too much" for a home. You need furniture. Consider building shelves around that single window /making it into a window seat. Magical! I like this for its color and for the closed storage underneath. I've seen instructions online for creating this type of thing from inexpensive Ikea shelving.
