Upstairs bath - Option A or B? how important is en-suite?
Comments (17)The top of the stairs is west/left/by the upstairs master bedroom. Flipping the stair direction is not worth it, as it really doesn't work downstairs. "However... I would not go through the effort and expense of building a home without an en-suite bath where I intended to have the master for the foreseeable future." - so much this. I'm really questioning this part of the project because of this issue. DH thinks I'm nuts, and doesn't care at all about en-suite baths. He thinks its crazy to try and make it work, and that losing closet or loft space to have an en-suite bath is not worth the trade-off. I admit, making an en-suite is proving to require some convoluted layouts, all of which require sacrificing usable space for circulation space....See MoreHow do I turn a standard bathroom into a masterbath en-suite
Comments (18)@Pennydesign- yes, suzyq53 is correct; the furniture went in mostly through the deck steps. Little things came up the spiral staircase. @Lindsey, yes the privacy issues from the staircase is an issue. That's yet another detail we have been considering. We'll keep a door on the room. I have worked today on two new plans. Let me know your thoughts/vote! Thank you for your thoughts and time. Comments are welcomed. Please note, I am not a designer. The sketches will eventually be reviewed by my contractor. Another question: If you have the time, tell me how long you think each of these planned renovations should take. I want to compare your thoughts with my estimate. This is my first renovation and I want to make sure I understand the process. Sorry the pics are a bit light. However, picture one has a rectangular walk in closet with 1.5 ft expansion on the bathroom, while picture #2 has an incomplete diagonal privacy wall with 1.5 ft expansion on the bathroom. Please note we have an eastern king bed and side dressers for lighting & our personal items. That means we need about 11 ft for the bed and dressers to go against. Thanks for being interested....See MoreEn-suite bedroom door positioning - seeking solutions!
Comments (35)Thanks Mark. We have a nice portrait on the wall as you walk up the stairs as a focal point, but your solution is probably the best. You could do outswing, but have it rest 180* against the wall shared with the stairs. I didn't think of that at first (I thought, "Outswing it, so you see the open door when you come up the stairs,"), but since you have something nice planned at the top of the stairs, I wouldn't want to block something pretty....See MoreSmall Kitchen Layout/Ideas
