First post- where to begin and floor plan
Comments (12)I like the look of the house, but I think the exterior picture without an upstairs looks "squatty". You'll definitely want an architect to help you with that roof. I agree that I don't love the upstairs. I do not like the idea of the balcony overlooking a two-story great room. Too expensive to heat, too dangerous with small children (yes, I was a jumper and a climber, and my children are all just like me). I share your great love of a banquette, but I don't think this is a banquette done right. If you want it in the spot where it is now, I'd go with a straight banquette against the wall OR an L-shape. I think the U-banquette is going to restrict entry to the seating. OR consider keeping the bump-out and go with an (expensive, though lovely) bump-shaped banquette. And what's the empty spot in the back corner? Since a window above the sink is important to you, you might consider bringing the banquette "in" so it's on the interior /sharing the laundry wall ... and bump the kitchen to the back of the house so it could have great windows toward the back. The negative, of course, is that the kitchen would be far from the dining room. Do you really want/need the banquette AND bar stools AND a dining room? Plus probably an outdoor eating area? Without a pantry, I'd opt to skip the bar stools, and I'd go with a deeper island so you could have standard cabinets on one side ... and a row of 12" cabinets alllll the way down the "backside" of the island -- it'd be a ton of storage. You have plenty of space here to have a great kitchen and banquette, but this isn't quite it yet. How will you arrange furniture in the bedroom? The windows and multiple doors will restrict you somewhat. In the bathroom you're using every bit of wall space -- where will towels hang, especially for the shower? And the toilet closet looks awfully small. I'd consider extending the study/bedroom bathroom and the master closet "forward" a few feet. They're both fairly minimal, and a few more feet could add some comfort in both places. OR you could do away with the powder room and open that bathroom to the hall. That's a huge money-saver, and I'd definitely go that way....See Morehow to decorate small master bedroom nook

Comments (12)Think about these interesting possibilities. How often does your family use the living room? Looks like the front of it might make a good study away from all the hubbub. Then move that wall with the pocket door so as to increase the size of the part of the family room that links to the screened porch. That way you'll have room for a dining section nearer the kitchen. Change the dining room to a master; you'll be glad you did as you get older and the stairs become an issue, or if someone has illness or surgery and needs to be on the ground floor. This also isolates the kids upstairs where you'll be happier as they grow into teens. Turn one of the two larger upstairs bedrooms into a bonus/play/gaming room for them. Flip the laundry around and use that closet and the back hall for a small powder room and a stacking WD close to the new master. See if setback rules allow you to add a closet bump-out in the front where that window is right of the porch....See MoreAt a loss..Lighting a bedroom nook in a convertible apartment...
Comments (8)Can you nail or screw things to the walls? If yes, you could install moulding that holds plug-in LED lights (or under cabinet light strips) on the three surrounding walls about 3/4 of the way up the wall. Then plug them into a remote control outlet adapter for ease of use. It won't be direct, task lighting but will definitely brighten up the area....See More- 8 years ago
