I really like these ideas! The medicine cabinet I want to keep. I really do use it and putting its contents - which are really small - in baskets would not work. There is no other open wall to move it to. I do have good - though mostly indirect - light for plants in this room. I took this photo at night, but if you look at the mirror on the left, you can see a reflection of the window, which is in a 1 foot deep box bay. There is also a skylight which is about 6 feet away. This room also has a tall ceiling, so even raised up on this boxy thing, I have room for a tree. Funny how I have never thought of that. It is winter here now, so I will probably have to wait on buying one, but I could start looking now for the tiered shelf. That stair one is really nice, and an interesting form for this square shape.

Dabunch and Brickton: Thank you for your responses. It is so nice to get new ideas. I had not even thought of flipping the back part of the plan. I will spend some quality pencil time this weekend. Flipping it would put the windows to the master on the street side of the lot instead of the private side, but it is still worth a look. And Dabunch...I do have another tub in the front bathroom so I will give serious thought to only having a shower in the master( and maybe a bigger one like you suggested) I don't currently have a bath tub in my master so I have pretty much taken only showers for the past 22 yrs. I have been trying to decide if I would enjoy a bath tub for a change. It is just inconvenient in my current home since the tub is on another floor. But, as you said, in a few years the entire house will be mine and I could easily use the other tub. Good ideas.. Thank you so much. I am really enjoying reading all the great ideas in this forum and am so glad I discovered it.

Turn it into a media room, where you can have all of your receivers, router/modem, etc., put a seamless door there and hang your TV on a wall-mounted articulating arm on the door. That way, you can pull the TV out and angle it for watching, but you also have access to the media components, and you can put the TV's wires right through the door for hookup and have no wires showing.

I have found bifold doors to be frustrating -- they can be knocked off their pins and are awkward for one person to re-align, and if anything projects into their space (heavy coats, etc.), they don' t close or do pop back open. Also, they will project into the hallway -- not as far as a regular door, but about half as far. I'm not wild about sliding doors, either, but find them preferable to bifolds. Whatever you do, make sure you get absolutely top-of-the-line, heavy hardware for the functional bits -- that's where all the problems arise. It's better to overbuild than be cussing on a daily basis.
