New house, new office. Need suggestions please!
Comments (2)So without any dimensions just going off what I can see in the photo here is a conceptual layout. I'm visualizing SW Passive as the dominant color with Seawashed Glass as the accent. I hope this helps!...See MoreYour Suggestions before we finalize our retirement home!
Comments (72)CP Artist My father will have no problem using the bathroom for his short visits. He will wheel himself in the bathroom and wheel back out, like he does in his own home. If he needs a shower he could use ours. I agree about the pantry. That will be replaced with long cabinets that are straight on rather than an angle. We are expanding the master bedroom out two more feet to make our master bathroom 2 feet wider. We will rearrange the master bath and have the door to the master closet entrance from the bathroom. This will give us more wall space in the bedroom for a dress so that the windows on the back of the master will be converted to French doors. The doors will allow larger furniture to enter/exit with ease. I don’t anticipate any problems getting furniture in the other two bedrooms. The hallway and doors are wide. We looked at two other furnished homes that were identical to this model, but smaller (1850 sq feet). Bedrooms 1 and 2 were furnished without the owners expanding the hallway and doors. The dining room may be a little further. I’m actually OK with that. I wanted a wide window to help bring light into the family room. For us, the dining room is one of those rooms, that rarely gets used. My husband and I will be using the kitchen island. I agree about the 1/2 of bath. We have 11-12 more years until we retire! For now, I wanted a 1/2 a bath closer to the garage entrance for my husband and friends to use without tramping across the house. Now, I am contemplating on the ceilings. I think I’m going to do 10 foot in the kitchen, family room and dining and 9 foot for the rest of the house. The models we looks at, had cathedral. I’m not a fan of cathedral in the kitchen with the uneven cabinet or dust to collect. Again, thank you so much for your input. Everyone did a fabulous job helping to improve this floor plan.

Comments (6)Congratulations on your new log home! I have to agree with BeverlyFLADeziner. You have a lot of wood already. And faux wood beside real wood is NOT a good look. Instead, as she suggests, go for a stone/slate look on your floor. It will ground the space. I assume that you will use area rugs to soften the space (and mute the sound transmission in the space. Hard surfaces everywhere.). I would look at real stone or slate, or even the LVP that looks like it. Enjoy your new home!...See MoreWhat ideas and color suggestions for our new Home.
