When did the 'master' bedroom become the 'principal' bedroom?
Comments (32)I’m in Canada and the townhome we just bought used “master bedroom” and ”second bedroom”. The bathroom is actually “master bathroom” too, though en-suite is more popular. I think “principal bedroom” works well, especially if describing short term rentals (where multiple couples might share a rental), rentals by you adults (again where roommates might be sharing), or multi- generational homes. You still want to confirm which room is the largest, but there isn’t a need to explain who then “master” of the home is. Random point- when I’ve booked Airline tickets for my son, he always gets the prefix “master” vs “Mr” on his tickets/booking. Hubby and I always get a good laugh, as there are definitely days where it feels like he runs things in our home! Maybe he should get the new master bedroom haha....See MoreHow to keep cats from scratching closed bedroom door
Comments (9)Well........is there a medical reason why the cats can't be in the room? Has the Dr. said that cats shouldn't be around the baby? I ask because if your daughter was aware of this then she should have been spending the last months of her pregnancy or at least while the baby was in the NICU to acclimate the cats to sleeping in a different room. Since that didn't happen, she needs to start working on new arrangements TONIGHT if she doesn't want them in the room. To suddenly close them out of the room may create some behavioral issues along with them meowing most of the night due to the sudden change. IOW's, she can't just suddenly close them out of the room. If I were in her position, I would sleep with them in a spare room (if that's where they're to end up) to help them get used to sleeping in a new location. I would also use some of the bedding they're familiar with. She can do this until the baby comes home and she or her DH may have to continue it for awhile for it to be successful. The only way I know to keep the cats away from the door is to lay down a scat mat.......a plastic pad that has an electrical current running thru it. It'll work, but one has to remember that humans will also get a little jolt if they step on it. But, I would use that only after working with the cats to get them used to a new sleeping area.

Comments (3)I can't tell from that picture exactly what the situation is. So in general I would say ... this small hallway either needs to be the color of the rest of the house or the color of the master bedroom. If you're trying to make this small hallway look like a more grand entrance into the master bedroom, or in some way part of the master bedroom to make it feel more spacious, then I would paint it the same color as the master bedroom. But if the hall way is more part of the rest of the house and can be seen from other areas of the house, then I would paint it the same color as the rest of the house and let only the actual master bedroom be in a special color. In other words, decide what part of the house this small hallway should be a part of, and then that would be the color it should be painted....See MoreIs having 2 master bedrooms by reducing # of bedrooms a pro or a con?
Comments (24)Multiple thoughts, not all in line with the majority: - Five bedrooms is a huge house. The potential field of buyers who want the space and upkeep of a house that large (and who can afford it) is relatively small. More plainly, You're looking to build a house that only a small percentage of buyers can afford to buy. Wanting a thing and being able to afford a thing aren't the same. Your pool of resale buyers will be small, so selling could take a long time, or you might be forced to take less than you want. - Yes, people will like the idea of a "master up and a master down": live-in space for mom, space for a live-in nanny or elder care-giver. Plenty of reasons people would like the space. But the real question is, Will your resale buyer be willing to pay what it will cost you to build it? Personally, I think you'll attract plenty of interest, but you may not attract the necessary dollars at resale to make this worthwhile. - How old are these small children? By the time you finish building this house, they'll probably be at least a year older -- how long will you want to have bedrooms close by? - I'm a highly practical person: you're talking about a short time when kids are small. To save money, could you sleep in a "non-master" upstairs for this short time, then move downstairs? - How "master" do you see your "masters"? That is, when you say "master bedroom", are you envisioning a slightly larger room with a modest walk-in closet and a private 3-piece bath ... or does "master" to you mean a spacious room with a seating area, a massive closet and a luxury bath? The question isn't just, "Should I have two masters?" It's, "Just how much will I put into a master?" Your own vision of "how much" can make a world of difference in this question. - Don't overbuild for your neighborhood. Remember that the biggest, most expensive house in the neighborhood is "drawn down" by the more modest houses that surround it. - Summary: Don't be caught up in just whether this is a desirable idea -- it is. Consider first and foremost whether it is an economically viable idea....See MoreCyndy
