Some Help with attached house plans please
Comments (9)Yikes. The electrical is messy and I didn't realize how fuzzy the pic uploaded compared to the original. I don't have one without electrical that is jpeg. I'll ask my builder. For now is there a way I can upload the current one less fuzzy? MrsPete- I agree about the garage! I wish it didn't poke out. We needed the mudroom bathroom to be the one accessible from the backyard. Couldn't figure out a way to move the garage, keep the bathroom accessible on both ends, and stay under 104' width which is really at the widest we can be. Any ideas are appreciated....See MoreLove this piece! Could it be a TV console?
Comments (10)I love the hinged top drawer idea! That is exactly why I posted, thanks F2BH. Would you mount the TV on the wall above or just house it on the dresser? Pre-reno the TV was mounted on the wall awaiting a nice stand but never got the chance to get one before we had the "pipe freeze-up" prompting the gut job! So I have all the mounting hardware if I decide on wall mount. Plus it has an adjustable arm since it is in a corner. Thoughts?...See MoreIncorporated my flat screen (pic)
Comments (41)Thanks! Lake Girl - I got them from my local TJ Maxx. I have to admit that every now and then when I see the TV hung too high that I want to tell DH that I'm sorry but it has to be moved down a bit. But I won't - he worked too hard on it....See Moreneed ideas for furniture placement for 15'x15' LR
Comments (10)Hi Samantha! This looks like a very nice home. Congratulations! Does this sit on a basement, or is there more here that we can't see? What's the total sq. ft.? 15x15 is a nice sized LR. I'm terrible at reading floor plans, so please tell me if I'm understanding you correctly. The TV is going on the wall that backs up to the bathroom and foyer. Are you getting the optional windows on either side of the fireplace? Then, as I understand it, you want the sectional to be in front of the windows that overlook the courtyard, with the shorter section extending out between the dining room and kitchen areas. Is that correct? One thing to be aware of is how much room you will need when the reclining parts are fully reclined. On the long section in front of the window, will there be anything to the right of it, like a floor lamp or end table? A coffee table in front of either section? An end table next to the shorter section? Besides the accent chair and possible aforementioned tables/lamps, will there be any other furniture in the LR? What is the main purpose of the sectional sofa? TV viewing? Conversation area? How many people are you hoping to seat in each section? I think the main concern would be to leave ample room behind the short end between the sofa fully reclined and the kitchen/dining area. If you have people over to watch a football game, for example, you'd likely be going back and forth with food and drink, and if you have to "squeeze by" every time, that will get old really fast. A secondary concern, from a design standpoint, would be to ensure the sofa isn't so huge that it completely dominates the room, stealing the focus from the lovely fireplace and the views out the windows. I think if you can answer those questions it will be easier for you to decide upon the best size for the sectional. I hope this helps! :-)...See MoreCDR Design, LLC
