Please help with shower layout
Comments (4)Bill, Below is the scaled drawing with the glass panel moved one foot farther to the north. My concern with this is that the opening to the shower will now be about 40" -- might get kind of drafty without a door. Any ideas on how to keep the size larger as you suggested, but avoid "too open" of a shower? I'm having a tough time figuring how to lay it all out with that space between the 40" opening and 28" opening. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Regarding curbless: I initially wanted curbless, but I did some reading on the subject and came up with $500 trench drains and dropping the subfloor by cutting floor joists and it all sounded really expensive and complex. If it's not as bad as I believe it is, please let me know and I may reconsider....See MoreDoes this kitchen layout make sense?
Comments (15)You stated that the window at the bottom is to the floor and to change it would mess up the front elevation of the house. Given that constriction, I would do one of the following: 1) Swap Fridge and Ovens, place prep sink on the top side of the island. You would need to adjust the framing. Your primary prep space is the top side of the island - that's a long side, so will give you a lot of space. However, your prep is in the traffic path from FR to DR through the kitchen. 2) Move cleanup sink and DW to bottom end of island. Put Fridge at bottom of left wall, put prep sink somewhere on left wall, deepen left wall counters to 30". Your primary prep space is the left wall, with secondary on the island across from the prep sink, and neither are in a traffic path. 3) Move cleanup sink and DW to bottom end of island. Put Fridge at bottom of left wall, put prep sink on left side of island. Your primary prep space is the left, short side of the island, but I would still deepen left wall counters to 30" in order to have a secondary prep space. By the way, you will not be able to open a two-door or right-hinged single door fridge all the way if you put it against a wall like that. The wall blocks the door. You might be OK with that, but note you won't be able to pull out the drawers in the fridge for cleaning, or possibly even every day access. You need a single door fridge that is hinged in the opposite side from the wall if you want it placed like that, or the wall can only cover the fridge to the point it doesn't hinder the door swing (6" back, maybe?)...See MorePlease help with our guest room remodel
Comments (2)Post in the Home Decorating Forum. Lots of talented designers there. I am not a designer, but the tv is awkwardly placed. The person in bed will be looking at it from an angle. Is there room to put a table or console on the fireplace wall and put it there? (I am not a fan of tv over fireplace, but that is another option)....See MoreAddition Layout & Kitchen Design - Suggestions Please!
Comments (9)Am I to understand that to get to the new master you have to walk through the study and the office and to do so, it's not even in a straight line? Not good. Instead, I'd make the study smaller, and make that walkway from steps a "hallway" or at least a cased opening, and have the entrance from the "hallway" go directly in a straight line into the bedroom instead of the convoluted path you now have. The advantage is then you're also not walking directly into the dressing area and seeing into the bathroom. It will also make it a heck of a lot easier to move large furniture in and out. As for the open study, I vote no because it's nice to have quiet spaces and with it open, it won't work as a study but will be another space where you'll hear all the noise....See Morekeako
