How to break up this bonus room into a guest bedroom & office space?
Comments (41)I think I would make a design that has walls on the office as well. An office is not something that I consider a space that is pretty to look at and can get messy so having it in view of the public areas would bother me. The other part is what if you're on the phone do you want the noise from all the other areas to be transferring to your phone call? Say someone running the garbage disposal in the kitchen or TV noises from the living room, or just conversations, screaming children, barking dogs, etc. Not sure of your house make up, but there are plenty of sources of noise in a house. I work from home twice a week and having a place to go and close the door is very useful when others are around and especially when in meetings where I can have my phone on speaker and also work at the same time. This way I'm not disturbing others either and others can't hear what is being said either unless they stand outside the door and listen in of course....See MoreConvert large master suite or living room for extra bedroom/bath?
Comments (2)Hello there - Thanks for sharing those sketches to help give me a visual of circulation, etc. I recommend moving your daughter's bedroom to the third floor, alongside your current master. With resale in mind, it's always best to keep private spaces together and again to keep public spaces together. Folks enjoy gathering areas which feel separate from areas which evoke calm and quiet. So even though the master will be reduced, you're still sticking to the flow of a home that most will expect and enjoy most. Plus, that sacred trio of kitchen, dining and living is always a big selling point ;) and ought to be featured well together, without disruption of a differing function. And lastly, this keeps in tact a more so general bath for the home, allowing for both bedrooms to have their own on the third floor. That feels quite natural!

Comments (6)I need another bathroom/bedroom! There's 1.5 bathrooms and it's a 3 bedroom so I feel like it's awkward and I don't want to share with roommates. The bathroom is behind the left wall of the pictures images (opposite the windows) and is the master bathroom. I just want to get an idea of cost, obviously the less the better but I also don't want to have a bad remodel so I know that will cost....See MoreConverting bonus room to additional en-suite bedroom
Comments (27)Changes from the previous one: - Black box is removed - Master bedroom stays the same size as original - West wall stays as original - Closet in bedroom 3 stays as original - Master closet is not separated by a wall. It is a bit narrower but you won't notice the change - The one guest closet is smaller than the two combined closets - Shower is about the same size but has no full length glass - Vanity and cabinet are smaller - Toilet are is more spacious...See MoreRachel
