cpartist: Their current bedroom is about 14x16 and they share it just fine. This is where that small dining table that barely seats 4 would go to be used as a game table. The food storage wouldn't be in their bedroom. I did state that what is CURRENTLY their bedroom would be changed into a multi-purpose room for pantry, play and school. It wouldn't exactly be a bedroom then, right? Overnight guests? They haven't had a sleepover yet and if they do want one in the future (post-remodel) the kids can all sleep in the school/playroom in the wide open floor space, or in the living room which is about 1/4 the square footage of our 1400 square foot house. There's also plenty of space outside for campouts if they wanted to sleep outside with their friends. Yes, a 5x8 space will easily fit a dresser and even a vanity. A bedroom door is only 2 feet wide which still leaves up to 3 feet on either side of the door. Not too many dressers come wider than 5 feet long or 20 inches deep and a vanity table can easily be something that folds up on the wall kind of like the top part of an old fashioned secretary desk. Their rooms are mainly for sleeping, changing and the rare bit of alone time they need. Our kids prefer to be with other family members most of the time. If you walk through any Ikea store or look at tiny house plans you'll see how easily space can be maximized, especially when you have high ceilings. For us, more space means less family time and that's what we enjoy the most. Our favorite people to be with are each other. Growing up, I NEVER had my own room. Neither did any of my siblings. Try 8 kids in a 3 bedroom house and neither of those kid rooms larger than 10x12. It is actually doable. We don't want our kids to feel they can hibernate in their rooms all the time as they get older. I watched my nieces and nephews do that during their teen years. Not okay with us as it disrupts the family unity. Occasional alone or study time in their rooms is fine but not spending their entire day in there every day. No, we're not controlling. We just show our kids that THEY are the priority, not other things in our lives. They give their input with any planned projects, especially one that is for them. I know a room without a closet can't legally be called a bedroom and that's another reason for no closets. Not legally a bedroom and it's not as expensive to build and it can be customized with modular storage systems tailored to each child's interests and changed as they grow. Once they move out, the rooms can more easily be repurposed if we want since there won't be built-in closets to work around.

His pricing was very competitive with the higher end furniture companies (Baker is one that comes immediately to mind, so was Harden, Henredon, and Ethan Allen); I'm talking about local stores, not trips to N. Carolina or internet shopping. We received exactly what we wanted, including custom drawer design and storage in a very traditional case. We were able to select the type of wood and the level of detail we wanted, including brasses. It was delivered in perfect condition, placed exactly where we wanted it. It was delivered exactly on time, too... no delays. We are "ordinary" people, too (I'm a tradesman). We spent more on the piece of furnniture we ordered from him than we've ever spent on an automobile (no kidding). My suggestion was simply to consider the option of something custom made by a craftsman because they are often VERY competitive with high end companies.

We actually seen some Harden, Stickley, and Durham furniture at a dealer in Jacksonville, FL. The Durham was a white distresssed bedroom suite, I hope most of their stuff looks better than this, backing was not flush, visible staple holes, Definitely not what I was looking for, I had to look fast before the wife discovered it was Durham. They had a Harden gallery and was totally impressed with their quality. Also, the Stickley line was equally impressive. I was quoted approx $7500 for a Durham suite, not sure what to expect with Harden or Stickley, $10k or more? Both Harden and Stickley had some very nice living room furniture as well, My wife loved the Stickley leather sofa. We are still looking though and trying to buy as local as possible, no dealers around here have any stock though.
