Do you have or use an upholstered chair in master bedroom?
Comments (38)We put an upholstered leather (and chrome) bench in our recently "renovated" master bedroom (pics to post someday!). I got it so we'd have a spot to sit while putting on our socks, shoes.... DH would always sit on our just-made bed (made-up by me, of course!) while tying his shoes, right on the nicely fluffed up bed pillows, and then walk away leaving them all smushed! Also, the spot where we have it just seemed to call for a bench! :) We don't use it for sitting and hanging out, except perhaps if one of us just sits down for a few minutes to chat while the other one is getting ready to go out or whatever. Surprisingly, neither of our cats has claimed it as her own!!! They both pretty much ignore it for some reason....See More2nd story master bedroom addition ideas
Comments (9)Exciting project! Lots to think about... Since it's over the garage, do you need to worry about fumes, insulation, fire codes, etc.? Additional soundproofing for when the garage door goes up and down (if anyone uses the door while another person is asleep upstairs)? Also have you looked into height, lot coverage & setback requirements? (Sometimes the setbacks for garages or single stories are different than those for 2 story structures.) Other items which you may already know, but just in case... - Building an adequately stiff floor over the long spans of the garage below without requiring posts below. - Heating and cooling of the new space, since the space below is (probably) not heated or cooled. - Where your plumbing lines / waste drain will run, and will that require tearing out any walls below And others I'm sure the pros will think of....See MoreWhat is the cost of deck off 2nd story master bedroom?
Comments (13)@Virgil - Great questions. I don't see us building a fancy deck, just something that matches the house (beach style with hip roof, hardy board siding). Where could I do some research on building materials? For option 1, I would imagine a deck like this one, [https://www.houzz.com/photos/32nd-street-craftsman-exterior-los-angeles-phvw-vp~209718[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/32nd-street-craftsman-exterior-los-angeles-phvw-vp~209718). For option 2, I would imagine a deck like this one, [https://www.houzz.com/photos/630-b-beach-style-exterior-san-diego-phvw-vp~90504781[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/630-b-beach-style-exterior-san-diego-phvw-vp~90504781). For option 3, I would imagine a no-deck-look like this one, [https://www.houzz.com/photos/incredibly-green-home-of-chevy-chase-craftsman-exterior-seattle-phvw-vp~360047[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/incredibly-green-home-of-chevy-chase-craftsman-exterior-seattle-phvw-vp~360047). @kudzu9 - I live in San Diego (yes, I know, expensive). I wish it was like asking, "How much does a new car cost?" because I could go online and figure that out in 10 minutes. And I'd know that I'd never have to pay more than the sticker price! @Sophie - Thankfully, you're not the CFO of my company. ;) $68k is a trip around the world with my family....See MoreCape Cod 2nd Floor Master Bedroom Design Help
Comments (19)@decoenthusiaste Thanks so much for your input, I am leaning on agreeing with you at this point as I really don't want the room to appear any smaller than it is. @Cheryl Smith You are correct, the entry door is opposite the knee-wall door, but that run of wall before the dormer is not long enough for the bed, night stands and to still have access to the closet. After a lot of thought, the bed fits best and makes the most sense against the far wall with the window. @njmomma Thanks so much for the pictures, I had never thought about a blue door previously, but I kind of really like it!...See Moreqwibbled
