Could I put a bedroom closet under the stairs here?
Comments (2)It won't be a full sized closet, but yes....take advantage of that space! I will use my closet under the stairs to store Christmas decorations that I don't want exposed to the heat or cold of the attic. You'll probably need to get a custom closet door made for it since a full height/width door won't fit....See MoreEntryway/Coat closet or Cleaning/Vaccuum closet more important?
Comments (5)I think it could be both, but if you had to choose (and I've had to in the last place and this one, ) I would make sure I had a place to store a vacuum cleaner and broom and such, as well as outdoor boots, shoes and umbrellas. We accommodated pretty easily to keeping our coats upstairs, but it's a pain to have to store the vacuum, brooms and such far away from where you use them, or outdoor boots and such far from the front door, and the only alternative is to leave them out in plain view....See MoreFinal plans and elevations opinions...
Comments (18)I like suru11's upstairs revision but also agree with others that the toilet and tub ideally would have a door between them and the sink area. Even 3 boys will appreciate a double sink. I think the idea to have the stairs come up from the back of the house is a really good one and might help with making the foyer feel less confined as well as improve the space utilization upstairs. I hope you can figure out a way to deal with the one step landing. What a pain. On the exterior everything is symmetric except for the windows on the one story kitchen/laundry wing. Can you add one more window in? Noticed there's no chimney, so hoping it is a faux-fireplace! I'm guessing the TV goes above the fireplace since there really isn't another place to put it. Are you sure you need the visual of the fireplace in your location?...See MoreCoat closet above stairs
Comments (24)Something else. In my whole house posted plans here I've been taken to task for not having any towel hanging space in the master bath for one house, to not having a place for the dog to sleep in another and in the last one the big thing someone noted is I forgot the "north" arrow. LOL! So I need a north arrow on everything now!! Seriously, glad you like it. It's rare I put pen to paper here but I was in a good mood yesterday! And it can be done contemporarily (is that even a word?). No arch (but still go with a bulkhead to better visually tie in the closet to the whole thing) and it doesn't have to be drywall. It could be a different material like birch to give it a cleaner, contemporary look. And modern light fixtures to add a nice touch....See MoreBri Bosh
