Costly mistake to remodel before moving in?
Comments (13)We remodeled a kitchen and 2 baths before we moved in. Would we have done a few things differently if we lived in the house first? Maybe or maybe not, but I am so happy not to have lived in the house through the reno that I do not regret my decision. I considered being able to get the work done beforehand a real luxury. It is possible to get an excellent, functional layout without living in the house-- especially if you connect with good professionals to help you. There are plenty of dysfunctional layouts, many even posted here on GW, created by people who have lived in their houses for years. What I would recommend is not rushing into the reno before you are satisfied that you have a good layout and design.

Comments (5)We plan to keep the same layout and the bathroom is not adjoining to a bedroom. I refer to it as our ‘guest bathroom’ but it’s technically used for the 2 bedrooms we have upstairs that we use for guests. :)...See Moreplease help! need kitchen design ideas for remodel
Comments (15)Your Pantry would be next room leaving the kitchen towards your family room! It can be configured how you need to based on your large entryway, and this pass-through doorway. I used your dimensions to create this kitchen. As might imagine an Island just gives it a slightly more crowded feel, unless you wanted a non-fixed island, like a piece of furniture that wasnt too large, which wouldnt be too bad I suppose!

Comments (19)The island in there was based on a ref 35" deep to the door front including an air gap. That would leave 48" to that corner of the island ( based on the island top being 29 1/2 deep ). Here is the basics of how I imagined the island If you have the 2 end panels plain, then you can cut them to a different depth if you want to add an inch or 2 to the island. Personally I would not any more to the island - maybe an inch? Keep in mind, those dimensions I put on the picture are to the countertop edge - do not place your cabinets to that. All that calculating and conversation needs to be done with your designer and your contractor and is to be based on actual room dimensions. I can't wait to see it!!...See MoreUser
