What makes a bedroom a bedroom?
Comments (7)Thanks, I checked the building code and I don't think it counts as a bedroom. The key concept in the code is that it needs to be enclosed, which would be easy enough to do if we had to, but then there are rules about close proximity to a bathroom and the only bathroom on the floor is the master bath and you have to go through the master bedroom to get to the master bath. I don't think that would fit the rules. I think it would be considered a bonus room or a den. I'm still debating about the appraisal. I can get a independent appraisal done for $200. The bank that currently holds our first mortgage charges $475 for the appraisal for a refinance. I don't want to pay that much to be told that the property hasn't rebounded enough. It may be worth it to me to pay $200 for an opinion on the current value....See MoreWant to help me choose accessories for blank slate bedroom(s)?
Comments (5)whenicit, Thanks, but I need LOTS of help! The other advantage to the 2nd layout in BR1 is that the headboard is rather high and if I put it along the wall, it won't block the windows which would probably be better. I'll see about adding seating when I get the beds assembled. We may have room and it would give me a project to scour antique shops. That is what I'm planning on doing for a nightstand in the second bedroom. A little shabby/chic, beachy. I was going to look through some "Real Simple" magazines for inspiration. I'm not sure exactly what I want yet, but I though a "weathered" table, perhaps in a fun color, would go nicely with the iron bed. ajsmama, Thank you for the suggestion on BR1. I agree that swaping the nightstand is much better. On BR2, I think I could move the dresser closer to the door. The only think I actually don't like about the dresser in that position in general is that I'm not fond of the look of it from the side, but no mater how far forward or backward it is, I'm going to have that problem... Thanks for all you help! Jaymie...See MoreBonus room through bedroom?
Comments (3)Well, what do you plan to use the space for? Our previous house had a room you could only enter through the master. I used it as my home office - works great (I never have in-person meetings there). The current owners are using it as a nursery....See Morebonus room converted to bedroom help
Comments (19)Hi! Sorry I had to wait til I had a moment to get on my computer since the app on my phone isn't working well. Jinx and Ida, thank you so much! Also thanks for being patient and delicate, it's hard to explain what someone is looking for when they're not in the industry. For example, I shoot weddings and when my brides try to explain what they want, it is usually counterintuitive so I have to help clarify. I appreciate y'all doing that for me! I do love the look of the lighter furniture, thank you. I'll post a few inspirations below as well to see if you guys can help me pull from them and maybe identify what style it is so I can search more clearly? Thanks again! Ps. I do like the metal bed frame.. we're going back and forth between metal and a wooden platform.....See Moreemilyam819
