Alright, y’all. You’ve already been warned that when you don’t like taking part in round with flooring plans and contemplating all fo the chances, you would possibly need to simply take a break from the weblog and verify again in every week or so. By then, I’ll in all probability have the entire selections labored out, my studio completed, and be transferring on to our new bed room. Additionally, my workshop construct is scheduled for subsequent Wednesday and Thursday. Woohoo!
However for now, I nonetheless have issues to debate about our flooring plan and the chances. This previous weekend, I sat down with Matt and simply laid all of it out on the desk for him. I wished him to grasp the entire prospects, have a chance to ask any and all questions, and see if he had any opinions in any respect in regards to the route of our home.
At first, it didn’t look like he had any sturdy opinions. However after speaking for a bit, he truly did have sturdy opinions about a few issues. I used to be shocked! The 2 issues he had sturdy opinions about had been (1) learn how to use the visitor bed room as soon as we’re moved out of it, and (2) the place to place our new exercise space.
So far as the brand new exercise space, he needs to construct a small room behind our rest room. And relating to the visitor bed room, he actually likes the concept of it being a combo laundry room and closet. So right here’s what we’re …
The room behind the lavatory wouldn’t must be large. It simply must accommodate just a few items of train tools, however I’d additionally prefer it to be stuffed with home windows like somewhat sunroom. I really like this concept as a result of it might take away the outside door from our rest room. I used to be keen to reside with that exterior door within the rest room, but it surely felt bizarre.
After which, so far as the laundry room and closet, he needs all of it saved as one large room. I mentioned the potential of constructing a wall and separating it right into a closet space on the entrance of the home, accessible from the bed room, and a laundry room in the direction of the again, accessible from the hallway. He didn’t like that in any respect. He needs all of it one large room, which is okay with me. Since he has a robust opinion about it, and I may have been proud of it both means, we’ll hold it one large room.
What he didn’t have a robust opinion (or any enter) about is the hallway rest room. So I’m nonetheless considering what to do about that. However as you’ll be able to see on the ground plan above, I’m severely contemplating eradicating that loo, and increasing the studio rest room in order that it’s a full rest room that takes up a number of the present pantry space.
I don’t know that that might be the precise association of that loo, however it might be a full rest room to incorporate a bathe and/or a tub. That means, my studio may simply be used as a visitor bed room if and when wanted, and our visitor may have a personal full rest room.
And that would go away the present hallway rest room free for us to make use of as storage. As a result of the one factor I’m nonetheless lacking is storage for Matt’s bathe wheelchair, Hoyer raise, and many others. That small rest room space can be good for that.
So the plans are coming alongside.
Addicted 2 Adorning is the place I share my DIY and adorning journey as I rework and enhance the 1948 fixer higher that my husband, Matt, and I purchased in 2013. Matt has M.S. and is unable to do bodily work, so I do nearly all of the work on the home on my own. You can learn more about me here.
