Your current plan would work GREAT if you had a basement rec room or a above garage bonus room. If you don't, you will grow out of your house when your kids are school age/early teen years, IMHO. If you are planning to move to a bigger house when the kids are older, then this would not be a long term house for you so disregard what I say. liriodendron is also referring to the same issues that I am raising. I am writing it in a slightly different way... Since you do not have a basement, it is essential that you have a room where someone can go to be either noisy or quiet. It does not matter how it is used. Either way, you need a room which allows the person to be separated for noise, if needed. reasons: 1. One kid plays a musical instrument for school, where to practice? Where does the other kid do homework? where does the adult read the paper/book, watch the news? 2. Kids are playing on the Xbox (or the new thing yet to come).. where does the other kid/adult go? Are you and your wife willing to hear the endless noise while making dinner, doing the extra work that you brought home? I guess you can force your kid to wear the head phone or you go to your bedroom with the laptop... You can use the kids bedroom/adult bedroom for some of these functions. But it does not work that great if you make their bedrooms into communal rooms. For example, you can't really put the Xbox in a kid's bedroom. (many families do and you maybe one of those.) Since you do NOT have a basement, if this was my house, I would close off one of the rooms and get rid of one of the eating tables. The closed-off room with a door will be used as either a quite room or a noisy room, however way it works best for your family. At different phases of your life, it maybe used differently. Either way, you have the option of a room that has walls/door. Personally, I like enclosing the noise producing elements so that everyone else can have peace and quiet. Because of this, I would close off the media. In your current space, if someone is watching TV, then everyone else has to go to their bedrooms to be able to have a bit of quiet. Not everyone wants to watch the same show or play the same game. In your minds' eye, try to live in this house when your kids are 3(preschool), 10(school age), 15(teenager), 20(coming back and forth from college). You are designing your house first. Then the kitchen fits in that house.

There are a lot of super talented people on these forums, and if you can provide more information regarding what you are hoping to do, then you will probably receive some very good advice. (This query is in the flooring discussion...?) Showing a floor plan of the entire bathroom (and surrounding) will help; providing more information on what you mean by "redesign" (change walls, fixtures, etc. or just interested in replacing the vanity?). If you have any inspiration photos or styles you like -- all that information will help. Good luck.

@Josie23 Thanks for pointing that out. I forgot to put a sink in the powder room but of course it will have a sink. I was mainly focusing on the master area. The powder room will be about 7.5 feet long x 3.5 feet wide which should be plenty of room for both a toilet and a sink. I read that the minimum area for a powder room is 11 square feet but this will be much larger than that. I have seen some pretty small powder rooms for sure.

@HU-187528210 Love love that blue for the vanity! I like the idea of a patterned tile too, but what would work best with the medium brown wood that throughout the rest of the house? I also love the idea of the wall panels/wainscotting, but not sure how to execute that with the walls in there. Inspo pics here! Kind of all over the place haha looking primarily at these colors, patterns and hardware in some capacity.
