But I digress. Here is what we are thinking for the floor plans.
The first floor. We wanted a very open layout with a wide open view from the front door to the rest of the floor. We are planning to move the sink and dishwasher to underneath the window. I really like the idea of a wide open island that people can hang out around, as well as a large place to cut and cook. I also love that we have a coat closet!!
The basement. Mike had a great idea to move all the bathroom and washer/dryer/storage against the side wall and have the hallway go along the stairs so it feels a bit more open. We are so excited to have a third bedroom for guests, and it's actually a legitimate third bedroom with an exterior door (not a standard Canton third BR that has a window that only a small child could fit through)! It will also be nice to have an extra family room. I have a feeling that I will get the most use out of that room on Monday nights whenever Bachelor/ette/Pad is on!
And this - the second floor - was the biggest challenge for us to figure out. Mike did an awesome job downloading a free CAD-esque program to convey his ideas of where to put everything. We ended up deciding to bump out the back of the house an extra four feet to fit in everything that we wanted - two decent sized bedrooms, two full baths, a walk-in closet, and interior stairs leading up to the rooftop deck. After going back and forth many, many times, the only sacrifice I think we really had to make was not having a double vanity in the master bath. But we're still working it out - we can probably figure out some way.
So that's it! What do you think? Any suggestions for us to improve on anything? Nothing is official until the framing starts, so speak now please!
Speaking of, demo has officially started! There is a dumpster outside of the house, but we haven't been able to get in to see it ourselves. I want to try and get in soon to take some pictures. So exciting!!
