Please help on final 2nd-floor/ Master Bedroom
Hello Everyone,
I think I'm close thanks to all the wonderful comments we have received. However we can’t decide between the two
designs given below. The main difference is that in option 1 the Master bed
room has a direct entry whereas in option 2 the Master has its entry into a
side hallway/vestibule.
Also please let us know your overall thoughts or feedback. For our
background we are in our forties and have three early teenagers. This
is our first build so we are a little nervous:)
thanks so much
Mary
1) Side Entry
2) Direct Entry Master

Finally, my Master Bedroom UPDATE !!!
Comments (38)Exactly, although I really appreciate your critique of my bedroom space. DH would not allow me to switch chest of drawers. That's his "side" of the room, bed, bench, lol. Y'all don't know what it took to talk him into curtains! Although, he has been pretty good throughout this decorating process. I did previously try to put the basket under the side table, but it is too tall with the pillows and would be a pain to get under to retrieve them. As for the air return, I cannot block it with anything that large and solid. You should have seen the dust on the solid painted screen. The heating and air guys were not thrilled with that, either. One of these days, I'll see the perfect console table to put there, but in the meantime, that's what I feel comfortable with and it's staying. I can't believe y'all have not seen these decorative screens as just that...decorative! Must be a southern thing. Anyhow, all I wanted to do is show you my newly revamped space because it is such a big improvement over what it was. Thank you for the kind words, tryingtodecorate. The color is Decatur Buff in the bedroom, and my fireplace wall is as well. I have considered painting that entire wall like the trim color, a paneled look like my previous home (seen below) and may do so when we replace the fireplace box (another story.) yayagal - We may sell, so come on!...See More2nd floor office entry- off master bedroom or hallway
Comments (26)Also...now that each bedroom has a bathroom...are you putting son in front bedroom? Just thought it might give younger girls more privacy and they could each have window seats, if they like. And it makes their rooms almost identical, except for bathroom window :) I'm guessing older son might want a desk or chair, but that's based on my nephew at that age...or maybe drums. LOL...See MoreMaster bedroom help .. Please help me select bed .. can’t decide !
Comments (51)I'm not a fan of any of those options...for various reasons. Mostly because the style/scale as well as the tone doesn't look like it would compliment the bed.....although without links hard to know. The Bernhardt nightstands in your pic from Haverty's are 40 W x30 H x21 D. That is why they don't look dwarfed by the bed. Do you have room to do something like the pic Penny posted? Basically a simple open rectangle with a sturdy leg? Another thing I'd consider is taking a look at kids' dressers/desks. Some are even similar in size and shape to the Bernhardt nightstands.... https://www.perigold.com/furniture/pdp/smiling-hill-4-drawer-dresser-sta6494.html?piid=17238112 Another approach would be multi-tiered side tables, not these exact ones obviously, but again something with enough heft and presence to play nicely with that bed....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 Moremary8153
9 years agoThanks everyone, the overwhelming consensus makes life a lot easier:)
I was thinking about keeping the single WIC option near the bathroom (no coat closet). The benefit would be a larger wic, better media wall across from bed, and less doors. Only downside (that I see) is that when walking into the bathroom I walk directly into the sink and maybe lose a little usable closet floor space for the shifted linen closet. Oh and maybe the accentuated maze like effect of going from the stair to the bathroom.

9 years agoHow about moving the linen closet next to the vanity but on the side near the toilet? Then you'd have a full size closet and DH would have the wall space he wants. Hubby is happy and you have a large WIC. Plus you got rid of wasted hallway space.

9 years agolast modified: 9 years agocpartist, I thought about that but was concerned about the pinched entry way created by the edge of the counter. However you inspired me to try again. I shrunk the linen closet and counter a bit and it seems workable. The opening is 2'10". Thanks for the suggestion:)
mverb, no bonus room alas I have to keep my attic space relatively squat or it will count against my allowable floor area. You can see my first floor at the link below. I had a lot of great ideas from the Houzz experts (some of which I'm still working on) Let me know your thoughts. http://ths.gardenweb.com/discussions/2951060/m=23/please-help-with-kitchen-floorplan.
