Opinions please, keep 4th bedroom vs bigger master bath
Comments (13)Your house is 4,000 sq ft. That should have at least 4 bedrooms. Where is all that space used? I don't believe for one second that the only option to gain a decent master bathroom and closet is to eliminate one whole bedroom. Maybe you're looking at the wrong room to make the master suite. It's not always the best approach to use all the existing rooms for the same purpose when you remodel. I'll bet there is another space in that 4,000 sq ft house that could be repurposed to make an awesome master suite, and still keep 3 other bedrooms. I have actually been through this same dilemma. The major difference is my house was originally a 4/2 crammed into just under 1,200 sq ft. Don't even ask how they stuffed all those rooms into a tiny house. It was awful. We removed the small bedroom 8x10 and expanded the master bedroom, bathroom, closet, kitchen, and living room. Now our house is a 3/2 with a slightly higher resale value, but the cost of the remodel probably exceeds the gain in value....See MoreLayout opinions please before final design
Comments (10)Thank you holligator! The hole in my kitchen floor finally got covered up and the monstrosity that held the oven has been removed. Now I can visualize the space a little better. I've downloaded a bunch of programs to try and see a plan in 3D but none of them will work with my laptop. I'm having a terrible time trying to visualize the layout altogether. I still like the first design so far because I think the Fridge will work the best in that corner. I can back it through the wall and have it line up with the cabinets. If it's in the other spots it will stick out too far. I'll have a better feel for that as well when it gets delivered next week. Here's what the space looks like right now: From Kitchen Design Would having the L on these two walls work? I'd have to make the island smaller unless I made the L into a horseshoe with seats on one side? OMG I'm driving myself crazy. From Kitchen Design Here's a view of the other side of the kitchen. a balcony/deck runs along side that wall. I think I'm just leery of closing the door up. Everyone keeps telling me to open the wall or take it down. Then I'd have nothing but open space and no where to put any artwork. It feels like a fishbowl with all these windows. I guess I'm just having a hard time getting used to the place. From Kitchen Design...See MoreYour opinions please about these design changes
Comments (8)I had a pullout pantry next to the fridge in my last kitchen. I had the cabinet people put a pullout cutting board in between the upper and lower pantry pullout sections so I could off load. However, we also had an island counter there to put bags on, and I had not accounted for the actual height and width of the cutting board when I envisioned it....The result was more of a "handy cocktail landing" at slightly above elbow height that we never pulled out except for a laugh. Still, your pantry is wide enough if you keep the full width (believe me when I tell you that 12 inches won't do it!) that it might work as a landing. Looks like you are familiar with this issue in your current kitchen and it shouldn't be a much of a problem....See MoreLayout choices two different ones new design opinions please
Comments (37)I think you are probably wise to go with your lesser choice and have the sink in the island. You loved the island plan and it had the sink there. Anyway, you are so much closer to the look you'd hoped for than when you first posted the plan with the bilevel peninsula. I tried to draw things out. I'm not sure how you want to move the fridge and how large you envision the pantry. So here's just an attempt in which I tried something a little different, because if you want a hutch looking piece I'm afraid it has to be wider than you have? I might have some of the measurements off from what you plan for that wall. Also, if you want the sink centered in the island you will have to have 2 ft on each side, which squeezes your dining area. Maybe you didn't plan it centered, though. I have it centered in this plan and you can see how it affects the length of the kitchen to see what you think....See MoreC V
