New Plans (version 3) are already in our hands!

Well you can't complain about a 12 hour turnaround from your designer! Heather sent us these updated plans this morning.

This is very very close. Some things we need to think about are:
  • Guest bedroom door/closet configuration. I don't really like the door in the middle, but Heather moved it there to not conflict with the closet door.
  • Configuration of garage stairs to the storage attic. This new design forces a change to the mud room flow so we'll probably go back to the other option (flip the stairs around and have the access door facing the workshop)
  • closet in Boys Town ("His Office") is kinda clumsy
  • additional window in Andy's bedroom (bedroom 2) takes away from wall space...but it gives him a south facing window.
  • Still undecided on the Rec Room window....right now its centered on the entire room, but its right up against the fireplace, with empty wall on the other side. We cant decide if that will look dumb or not.
  • Wondering if it would be wise to put a window in the south wall of the workshop for some natural light.

  2. I really like this kitchen and mud room area! And the window in the workshop would add more light when the doors a closed.

  3. The centered door in the down stairs bedroom does seem odd...and will take up precious wall space in that room. i would stick the door across from the bathroom door.

    the window in the work shop....since you are having a heated garage you will want to put 'nicer' windows in there and then you will want to have a system that keeps the humidity controlled. have you talked about an exhaust fan/humidity control in the garage or tying in the garage with the house HVAC system?
