Layout help with my bathroom/closet extension?
Comments (3)Jslzart, I see what you mean, but as we are in the middle of nowhere, we’ve got slim pickings on who to hire. Plus, all of the GCs I used to know (my FIL included) have moved or passed away in the last 20 years, so I feel like I’ve got to go into this with some of my own knowledge, ideas, and creativity or I’m just going to get the same starter-home set-up as the next guy....See MoreHelp with addition layout
Comments (6)Yes, she is an independent kitchen designer with no ties to the cabinet maker. The mudroom lockers will have doors so theoretically, the mess should be hidden in the lockers. And, the lockers will match the kitchen cabinetry. I guess the worry is that as it is, does the kitchen feel boxed in with that wall behind the island? I'm wondering if removing the wall between the mud room and kitchen would make it feel more open or if it would just be open and wasted space......See MorePrimary suite addition layout help!
Comments (32)@scout It's not a 100% need, but it's a strong desire (especially from my wife) -- we're feeling like if we're investing in doing this whole project a bathtub is something we'd really like to have. We've been referencing this bathroom, also in LA, for size and it seems ours would be similar? I know to some this might feel tight, but this feels okay to me? So appreciate everyone's suggestions!...See MoreNeed kitchen addition layout help/fresh ideas
Comments (23)I thought the last two plans have the back door in the kitchen. Anyway, here are all the proposed plans with traffic patterns, prep paths, and clean-up zones. The first plan posted (whether the peninsula moves forward or not) is the only one with an efficient prep flow and no traffic through any work zones. Traffic to the fridge wasn't included because most of the plans have a beverage fridge on the bar run. I doubt the peninsula will be used for prep since it has no prep sink, but I added a sink and the green lines to denote that layout. I also added them in the second plan, as another poster suggested, but because the island is a barrier, IMO the prep sink doesn't add to function--and would put the prep zone in the basement traffic path. Even without direct access to the back yard, the first plan would be my choice. BTW, if the peninsula is only 3' deep, the seating overhang will be only about 10" since you'll need to account for a front overhang and a back cover panel. The NKBA recommends a minimum 15" overhang for seating at counter height, so an extra 6" depth would be more comfortable and would take up some of the dreaded dead space....See MoreJoy
