Comments (7)You could do a tub in the corner under the window with your toilet across from it and a large corner shower. A pocket door would be nice if you want your shower visible when you enter the bathroom. You might be able to fit a small linen cabinet between the shower and toilet. Allow 34 to 36 inches for the toilet space width and 25 to 30 inches in front of the toilet. If you do half walls on either side of the shower, you could put the shower controls on one of those walls for ease in turning on the shower. As an alternate, you might be able to fit a free standing tub in that space. That might give you an extra foot in your closet. I drew a rectangular shower, but I like the angled a little better....See MoreMinisplit indoor wall location

Comments (23)Wow, so many comments in just a few hours: Yes, we decided to change plans perhaps two months ago. While I love the exterior and the "edges" of our other plan, I never could figure out just what I'd do with the great room and dining room -- and those rooms matter a great deal. We like the great room and dining room in this not-too-different-plan better, largely because they don't include pathways to other areas. Also, this plan will require very few changes,, whereas my alterations to my first love plan were fairly heavy. I do admit, though, that I preferred the exterior on the other plan. I suppose the dishwasher could go on the end of the peninsula, but I thought it should be as close to the sink as possible. Really, I have to figure out the sink first, then I can be serious about the dishwasher. Sounds like everyone's saying fridge stays on the left of the "back wall". No love for the middle spot. Good. One item checked off. Not enough space between the sink and range ... okay, that's an easy fix ... just an alteration in cabinet sizes, range shifts left ... it's too late for me to start playing with drawings tonight (I do have to teach tomorrow). Master bedroom entry is moving to the hallway and is leaving the great room completely as a living room /no bedroom doorway. The laundry will be leaving the kitchen area entirely. I feel completely secure about these bedroom-laundry moves. I have this drawn out, but I don't have it on this computer. Yes, goodbye to the banquette ... but hello to a bay with a built-in seat, sized just right for the octagonal breakfast table I already own. Thanks, but no love for the idea of flipping the breakfast and dining rooms. I like the idea of entering the house through the breakfast nook and having that "everyday area" oriented towards the back yard /back of the house. Plus I have a strong vision for the dining room in its current spot. I even have my eye on some great fabric. It's calling to me, and I'm going to have to go back to the store and buy it. The L-shaped porch on this house is one of its big positives. No problem adding a porch swing. Yes, I see that the fridge could be a bottleneck ... but with just me and my husband in the house most of the time, I do think it's something with which we can live. I do love nice tile, and yours is some of the nicest, Old Bat. Just my style. I had considered 30" deep cabinets for the back wall. I'm iffy on that. I think I'd price it out and see just how much extra it would cost. That's a lovely picture with the blue cabinets -- wasn't that a pantry? But I'm not sure whether you're suggesting it for over-the-sink-into-the-great-room or for the back wall? And are you suggesting real windows? This is a great space, but I'm missing something; I'm not translating it well in my head. The cool red pendant definitely looks like something I'd choose, and I do like the idea of something like that above the sink. BB, I really love U-shaped kitchens. I had a couple houses ago, and it was my favorite kitchen ever. I'm open to changing things within this basic shape -- and the dimensions could change a bit, but I don't want to abandon the U. I'm also not a big fan of barn doors, though I do agree that they fix the problem with transition between the two rooms (though it creates a new problem: the breakfast room is "cut off from" the kitchen by the cabinets). The range as a focal point on the back wall ... hmm. I was stuck on the range in its "assigned spot", but now I'm thinking about it. If we did this, I think the refrigerator would move to the wall that currently holds the range. I honestly don't know if I like this idea or not. I have to ruminate over it. Oh, yes, the bathrooms are both bumping out a bit to allow for a back hallway to the master. I have that end of the house plan under control! Oh, yes, I've seen Scrappy's kitchen! I poured over it obsessively when she first posted it ... but I hadn't really considered that it is VERY similar to my space ... which, now that I think about that, is the strongest evidence I've had yet about moving the sink's placement. Clearly she has done everything right in that space. I need to see just how close her sizes are to my potential kitchen. Very good information! Open-but-not-too-open is exactly the phrase for the relationship I want between the kitchen and great room. Lovely pictures too, which I must study. I'd thought about a bigger arch next to a rectangular cased opening, and I said to myself, "Wouldn't work" ... but here is photographic evidence that it DOES work. The white kitchen with the shutters that fold flat against the edges of the opening also catch my eye -- are they wood or glass? Since I want to use plantation shutters in some parts of the house, shutters here would "coordinate" nicely. And the sconces inside the cased opening in another picture would be so practical, though I wonder about the practicality of boxing off the edges of the cabinets -- I fear that might feel "contained". I must study these in depth tomorrow; I can't reach any conclusions tonight. Thank you all for food for thought, but my spoiled-rotten beagle, who thinks he is owed a late-night walk every evening, is standing here with his legs crossed, begging for his "evening walkies", so I must go for now. Thanks again....See MoreRough Living Space thoughts
Comments (13)I just re-read your post and I don't think you asked any questions. You only used a question mark in one place, and it seems rhetorical (as if not expecting a response). Therefore people are just going to throw darts at what you posted. Many on this forum don't seem to understand that for some, playing around with floor plans can be fun. And the computer programs out there today allow you to design the exterior in tandem with the interior. But they are also justified in requesting more information from you, and as non-professional designer you need to tolerate an occasional jibe from them. People on this forum have vast knowledge and experience to offer. But the more info you share with them, and the more specific you are with your requests, and the more patience you have, the better feedback you'll receive. I personally think you're right to be concerned about spacing and furniture placement in your open living space. You'll need to make compromises. What's more important to you: a more spacious living room or a more spacious kitchen? You probably can't have both in this footprint, so choose one or spend more money. Some of my own darts: 1. Only way to get to master bedroom is through laundry room? 2. Only way to get to guest bathroom is through laundry room? 3. No coat closet? 4. No linen and/or broom closet? 5. Where are mechanicals? 6. Do stairs go to attic, basement, or both? 7. Agree about moving garage to one side or the other....See Morecordovamom
