"Your Bathroom has no electrical outlet?" Well, since you've exhumed this thread, would an affirmative answer to that question affect D&K's advice? I find this a murky code issue to interpret and I'd be interested in other opinions from anyone willing to chime in. As a starting point, NEC 210.11 (C) requires certain dedicated branch circuits in dwelling units including: (1) two 20-amp circuits for kitchen appliances, (2) one 20-amp circuit for laundry and (3) 20-amp circuit(s) for bathroom receptacles. Before getting into the exceptions, we begin with the premise that these circuits are dedicated, in the sense that they have no other outlets. But (wouldn't you know it?), there are exceptions and here's the one that appears, at first glance, to be on point and controlling: 210.11(C) Exception. Where the twenty-ampere circuit supplies a single bathroom, outlets within the same bathroom shall be permitted to be supplied in accordance with 210.23(A) OK, so it's sounding like we'd be good to go by adding a receptacle to the otherwise dedicated bathroom circuit for a washing machine, right? So let's read on to clarify the additional reference above: 210.23(A) Exception: The small appliance branch circuits, laundry branch circuits, and bathroom branch circuits required in a dwelling unit(s) by 210.11(C)(1), (2), and (3) shall supply only the receptacle outlets specified in that section. In the OP's case, exactly what does "outlets specified in that section" mean? And doesn't the 210.23A exception seem to be at odds, at least in part, with the 210.11(C) exception? Hmmmm. It seems to me that, for the purposes of code interpretation, the OP's room is both a bathroom AND laundry area. So, just because the areas are co-located in the same room, does that magically permit merging the laundry circuit requirement and the bathroom circuit requirement into a single 20-amp circuit? I have my serious doubts about that. My stab at an interpretation is that you might be able to add additional receptacles for "bathroom use" (e.g., another place to plug in a hair dryer?) just as you can add additional receptacles to the laundry circuit for "laundry type" equipment (e.g., a place to plug in a steam iron?), but it's highly questionable that it meets code to turn two required circuits into one. Taken together, the intent of the mandatory circuits requirements is to ensure independent and adequate capacity for each of two normal household functions. IMHO, using a single circuit would certainly defeat the intent of the code. If it were me, I wouldn't wire a laundry machine receptacle to the required bathroom circuit and I certainly wouldn't bet the ranch on a savvy AHJ approving it. Anyone else have a more authoritative answer?

Here's another idea. Son's room (he seems too old for boy's room) is now in front...with his own bath. This would be great location for future guest room. Since he has his own bath....I gave the girls window seats and hutches for books, display, etc. Their bathroom is slightly bigger (I think) and should have a larger sink/vanity area. I redrew that space a lot! LOL The laundry is a bit smaller, but easier to access. Light from other spaces should make this a bit sunnier and I added a few examples after the plan. Also...have you considered putting in a stackable washer/dryer in your closet? Maybe even an extra linen cabinet? There's room in this plan :) Washer and dryer in built-in cabinets...goes away when not needed and just looks like pretty storage! And....maybe washer/dryer in your closet?

Appreciate everyone's inputs. Main level laundry is not possible with our floorplan. And impractical for us. Laundry is currently in the basement level. So why wouldn't you want to take your clothes off and throw em directly into the laundry. Wash/dry. Fold and put directly into closet that's right there. Why you would want to take them down two sets of stairs is beyond me. Thank you calidesign for you opinion on the bathroom doors. Completely forgot about swing factor and how that'll affect the space. We planned on doing a pocket door for the master closet but didn't think about the entry door into the bathroom. Might looking into sliding doors for the laundry instead as well. So appreciate the positive input.

@cd7733 This is the old layout. We added a 30x30 addition to a Cape Cod. @Lindsey_CA Yes, it is pretty big. We are a family of seven. We have a 9 foot table that opens to 12 feet. We didn’t want to have to scoot around it on holidays/parties when more people were in there. When we took down the wall between the old kitchen and the old dining room, we just ended up with a really big room but it works for us. We put two accent chairs and a table on the end near the window and the other end had built-ins. @Mark Bischak Besides the dining room, which spaces do you think are too big? Our architect was going off of sizes that we told him we’d like to maintain in the rebuilt house. I definitely think the two bedrooms are too small and I don’t love the angled wall. Any ideas on how to get two bedrooms and a bath in there?
