Taking the plunge for your help on layout/remodel
Comments (69)wow - I'm way behind on keeping up with all of the changes - but before I forget what I'm thinking - here goes (and someone might have already posted some/any/or none of it) if you open up into the dining area (w/LR) that would help a lot. put the big table there. maybe enlarge the window off to the patio area. then you could put the big frzr/fridge on the wall (old pantry) that says 'cab' (backed up to the msg center area). Put that super big range on the far wall of the 'old pantry' and there should be room on either side for some counter top with the counter turning around to the wall along the back patio - where you could put another DW and prep sink - with windows all above that for more light. keep (redo?) the penisula where you face into the FM - you like that and it's usable when not too many people are there (well, usable either way). Cozier when all the kids / gkids aren't there. nice usable space when maybe just a gkid or 2 stay over. OR you could change it a bit and make it into an island in that area with a hang over area and stools. (not the 'I'm drunk' hang over tho...) I'd have to scan back up to see what moving the table to the other dining space does to that 'was there' wall in the kitchen and placement of the fridge / micro tho. then I'd lose my place on this thread and spend valuable reading time searching for it again... lol! again - wow - what a space to have to use - what a kitchen! OH BTW - I'm in AZ - we have very, very hot summers. Skylights are not a problem tho... my sister has one in her kitchen (had one in her old kitchen) and I have one in my new (soon to be) kitchen. does it get hotter'n 120 in the summer there?? If you think it might be a problem (not used to it) I'm sure they can be fitted with a blind (remote controlled). They can also open for air (again remote controlled). a couple of ceiling fans would help also....See MoreHelp w/ Layout in Bathroom Remodel
Comments (4)Amy, Did you see this story from Houzz a few days ago? [A Classic Bathroom Worth Losing A Closet For.[(https://www.houzz.com/magazine/a-classic-bathroom-worth-losing-a-closet-for-stsetivw-vs~106511896) I think they did a great job incorporating many of the ideas that Tackykat mentioned. I'd see if your size and layout comes close to this square footage. Also, can you say why you want a separate tub and shower? How often do you take baths? Are there bath tubs in the bathrooms on the other floors of your house? Could you just make do with a walk in here? Also, will the bathroom be accessed from the master or from the hallway, or both? I recently saw a condo that had a nice bathroom accessible from both the master and the hallway and the layout was done in a way that a pocket door could separate just the toilet and sink from the rest of the bathroom making it both a powder room and/or master bath. I wonder if you could do something like that here....See MoreHelp with layout on rental remodel

Comments (8)Do you have the original plans to the home? I agree with cpartist to look into moving the gas and water line and moving down the garage door a few feet. close off the hidden back door to create a much larger ensuite. the wall with garage door, you will have a line of storage cabinets, fridge and stove and the window wall will have the sink. the wall with the sink you can definitely create a laundry area but you may have to give up some kitchen and bathroom space...See MoreHannah
