Should we move a wall to make 2 small rooms?
Comments (9)Right now we have one bedroom/den that is 13 by 9 feet. I think it is WAY too narrow. I know bedrooms used to be 8 by 10 as pretty standard. For resale and this is only my opinion. I would keep it as is and use the office as a nursery next to the master. I would not like two tiny bedrooms at all. If anything open the wall between and make one really large room and then more children can share it. At our last house two of the bedrooms were 10 by 10 and that was about as small as I would consider comfortable.At one house we owned one of the rooms was 8 1/2 by 11. I used it for my craft room only.It was nothing but a tight fit. A double bed is 54 inches wide and then a side table or two.I am afraid you would be making both rooms unusable. I just remembered a house we looked at to buy and had two upstairs bedrooms neither would fit a twin bed....See MoreHelp-Should we make this last minute Drastic change?
Comments (14)Thank you so much lavender! You beat me to it! I've been spending all morning trying to figure this out and I added them to my photobucket account, rotated them and was returning to do a test run. I so appreciate your help! As a new iPad user, I had no idea that pictures would appear in any other form other than how they display on the preview when drafting a post! I appreciate it being pointed out, otherwise I would have no knowledge of the bad etiquette apparently being posed on people here to help. I try to be patient with people when they are trying new things, especially here, we know humans are just that and sometimes need a little patience, guidance, and yes, help, in a lot of instances! Thanks again lavenderlass. Seems like the consensus is to move the freezer, although in this lengthy DIY project I hesitate to add more work but DH is willing, and I would rather get it right than have regrets. After all, we are never doing this again! Thanks for all your input! If anyone has any more suggestions, I'm certainly open to any and all!...See More1950's ranch remodel- should we make open floorplan?
Comments (16)CEF, even dumping $300,000 into our house, we would have to spend more than twice that to get what we want elsewhere. It is expensive in my neck of the woods! We are in an awesome neighborhood, with great neighbors, amazing school system (to stay in this school system we would have to pay double AND remodel) and we are very close to metro, shops, DC etc. we love our house and we want to make it ours! Our kitchen will only be about 120 sq ft. Same size. The four of us fit here perfectly. :) I hate needing lights during daylight hours so lots of natural light appeals to me. we also have a very nice back yard and look forward to the views. I used to really like separation. Now, I like a little, with some more open spaces. Our living area is actually large compared to the rest of the house. Just because you open it up doesn't mean you will lose the other spaces. I think it really depends on how you want to live your life in your home. What is important to you won't be important to others. I think if you live your personal life in a way where you are always saying "gosh, I wish this were more open so that I could (fill in the blank)" then I think it you should really consider it. I don't think you need a huge house to make yours more open. JMHO. I am considering posting updates on the small house forum....See Morehow to maintain a fence and what color should we make it?
Comments (8)Thanks to both of you! I did some more searching. What is the deal with these fence cleaners? If I read between the lines of the reviews, it sounds like they are usually ineffective, or consist of bleach (we are planning on doing landscaping soon, so I wouldn't want to compromise the soil by using bleach). Am I getting that correct? Does anyone have positive experiences with fence cleaners? Also - thanks yardvaark! It is good to know what kind of paint works best. I always thought stain would last longer than paint - good to know....See Morerivkadr
