Abfabamy, yeah that's a tower with glass either side. The inspiration for this design was actually taken from this bathroom. http://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6334654/thumbs/Gorgeous-Bathrooms- (Ignore the first four pictures [they're from another bathroom] and see the last picture for the shower). I was trying to replicate that design, with a few changes to suit my personal tastes. I could do a half wall, but was trying to keep as much glass as possible, as I much prefer that look. I think there's enough privacy for the toilet behind the tower, and I doubt two people would be using the toilet and shower at the same time. I dunno, it's getting late here, so I'll fiddle around with the design some more tomorrow, see what I can come up with. Thanks x

Hello, I am trying to sell a real estate property and would like to have a floor plan of the house with images that "pop up". Example: move the mouse over a section of the kitchen or click on a button and photos of the kitchen appear. Does anyone know how I would create? Or is there software that will enable this to be a smooth & quick loading sequence? Many thanks for your advice or suggestions

I think the IKEA planner is fairly easy to figure out and you can get 3D visuals of the space you create and move around to see things from different places and angles. You don't have to be buying an IKEA kitchen to use it. But you are limited to playing with whatever sizes of cabinets IKEA sells. SketchUp creates great things but, wow, I usually pick up things fairly quickly but I have had a long-learning curve with it and I still don't enjoy using it. However, if you have the patience to learn it, you can create anything...and I do mean ANYTHING...in it. Not just your kitchen. Sure, graph paper is easiest but you don't get the 3D and I think that's quite valuable in helping you really get a feel for how things will look and feel. Lowe's also has a kitchen planner, similar to IKEA's, but I like IKEA's better. But I also started with IKEA's so that might be why. Maybe if you start with the Lowe's version, it will be your favorite. Lots of other options, too, but those are the ones I'm most familiar with. There are also options that allow for entire home planning, outdoor spaces like decks and patios, gardens, etc. I'm not as familiar with them to name them. Some are free.

Hello! My husband and I are planning on finishing our basement ourselves. I don't know how to start with the design. What programs, software, or apps are available that I can use to create the design. I'd like to be able to create floor plans mostly, 3D rendering would be great but not necessary. are there any free programs available? if not, what are some we can pay for that won't break the bank? Thanks!!!
