Thanks everyone for taking time to read our post :)!

I think you need to start over. A house is not like Lego where one can just keep adding things/changing a wall here and there. Each change affects so many other things. I cannot imagine having my MBR right off a very public space. I'm not big on 1st floor masters anyway, but if I had to have one, it would be in a separate wing of the house, separated from the rest of the house by a hall. I'd put the laundry in the mud room and a clothes chute from the 2nd floor to that room. You can always have a closet that could be turned into a 2nd laundry near your room when your nest is empty. There are just SO many things wrong with this house! It was designed for a small lot in a subdivision and you're putting it on 5 acres. The same house will not work on both. Please do yourself a huge favor and find a true architect to work with you to design a house you can enjoy for many years to come. Right now, you're just making one major compromise after another - not good for something SO expensive and so long-term.

oh, ok. perfect. if there is room there, it would work. you'll have plenty of room for a rug, and a nice bench at the foot of the bed. maybe a few chairs, potted plants over by the window. The tall wall is also a perfect spot for some type of accenting this would be cute in the inset area: I'd do something like this. the blacks/whites/charcoal/leather tones, walnut, would all look nice w/the flooring. love the rug/bench too Inside the large niche, think about doing a built in piece with shelving,, or find a console to span that length. All sorts of ideas for the inset! If you did a built in dresser there, you wouldn't need another piece. tv goes on a swivel mount I'd really make a point of doing somethign special w/the inset spot. you could find a vintage credenza and use that, if there is room on the side, do some cubbies or something like this

I have a craft room that is separate, as well as sharing an office with my dad for college work. The desk in my room is more of just to have as a small workspace for anything I may want to do in my room…. If that makes sense
