You're welcome. I've learned so much from Garden webbers that I'm happy to have helped someone else. I do like your new hybrid layout. As for sizes, take a tape measure and recreate the size your are considering. For example conside the 10'3'' bedroom to an actual bedroom you have now and see how it feels. It also depends on the size bed you will place in there. 10' is a bit tight but again if not used often then maybe it can do. Will your parents visit or move in? As for mudroom bench, we are having benches built into the top of the cubbies so it accomplishes 2 things in one. See pic one of the link attached. Also a list my husband complied for mudroom things to consider. (He complied a list based on research of what other people said, not necessarily need to accomodate everything). lower hook for kids 40 sq feet minimum waterproof paint thick hooks for winter coats thin hooks for smaller stuff window if possible bench drop station open shelves forshoes space for guest shoes water resistent flooring mirror? waste can rough in texture tiles to prevent slipping closet/storage?? when coats not in use Hope it helps and Good luck!

On the whole, I really like your guest room. When it comes to reading lamps, though, I'm totally hardcore ;~D. I want ~ I NEED~ good, proper-sized, 3-way reading lamps for each person. Although I like your present lamp, I agree with Graywings, that dual, wall-hung lamps would be better. I've always disliked lights on fans. As GW's has already mentioned, they tend to cast a harsh light in the room at night. I do like your ceiling fan and think you should keep it or another similar one. Love your beds, too! Lynn (who's heading, in just a few days, to her sister's home, where the hosts are fantastic, the food, sublime . . . and the guest room lighting is soooooooo pitiful, harsh and inadequte, all at the same time!)

Autumn, I would suggest that you look at nightanddayfurniture.com. You say this will be a seldom used room you don't want to put a lot of $$$ into. However, you want it to look nice. Furniture made by this company is ready to assemble (rta). I've had their Chameleon bed for about four years, and it still looks like new. At that time cost was about $550 for a double bed. It has a lot of custom options. The headboard panels pop off if you want to cover with your own fabric. The bedrail adjusts to two different heights. Other accessories include roll out under bed drawers and a fold out footboard bench. Matching nightstands, dressers, chests, mirrors, and desks are also available. I purchased less expensive wood rta under bed drawers from another company and stained them to match the bed. Two drawers were $110 and push further under so I'm not hitting my toes when making the bed in the morning. I only use a foam mattress, no box springs, and all guests have commented how well they sleep. They also have a four poster bed, rattan bed, and other styles. Unlike you, my bedroom is tiny. I used an entertainment drawer with a supporting corbel beneath from Kraftmaid on each side of the bed to allow easy access to the under bed drawers. These are in white and the bed is stained cherry. I purchased a rta cherry coffee table from Night & Day and cut up the top so the night stand tops would match the bed. The bottom line is to use your imagination to do what best meets your needs.

So ensuite or en suite is very clearly a British term (with French origin) and used in NA more commonly in Canada. It doesn't mean that Americans don't know what it means but the only reason I do is because of the Canadian origin on much of HGTV. Well - ok - maybe from travel to Europe before that. Where I live it hasn't become a common term. The fact is that pools are more common in warmer climates. Doesn't mean they don't exist of course in Canada but was trying to make an educated guess - house has pool using a British/French term - I would go with Bahamas or Aus. And - are we calling Southern Idaho warm? Back to the original question - the 4th bedroom will never have a toilet? I am confused because in one line you say ensuite means all 3 parts but then you say just vanity and shower is on the table. In the US, it would be a little unusual which is generally not good for resale value. Many people get up in the middle of the night to use the toilet. Having to go into a public area to do that (the hall) is not ideal if they are modest. But if that is already done, then it would still be helpful to have the shower in the suite but it would add a little to the "unusual" nature. So from a resale point of view, I would keep things as normal as they can be. Now - are in you in AUS or are you Australian? Clarity is helpful. Because resale in AUS - no idea. There are probably parts of the US that unusual is no big deal. In my area, it is a big deal.
