tonight was the night to explore the possibilities of 412. michael palmer, designer from my previous firm SAL, previously took measurements of 412 and put them into cad/revit (i have no clue). he printed the drawings and we brainstormed. he sketched as we kept the ideas flowing.
we: moved the bathroom to the 2nd fl. rear bedroom; added a bathroom to the 3rd floor guest bedroom, skylights in the stairway and the 2nd floor bedroom/office to bring in light...i love natural light!; moved the door in the kitchen to make room for cabinetry (as big as this house is, the kitchen is small but i'm not a cook so it doesn't bother me); added a powder room on the 1st floor (for reds, my dad).
palmer (mike, that is) really wants to demolish the back stair (oh yes, there is a servant stair that i have yet to post pictures). and that middle bedroom that you need to walk through...i used to have one in the 1st house i rented with dave haas & it was his bedroom. dave, any suggestions?
now, i hope that all of these changes are feasible and within budget.

If you are not going to expand the other bedrooms into it, a home office area is an idea. Unfortunately you are really limited on what you can do with the space. You really don't want a gathering place right outside of a bedroom.
ReplyDeletethanks dave...i take it you didn't like me having to walk through your bedroom to get to the bathroom...hehe! or how i was always trying to get you to clean your room :)
ReplyDeleteA princess playroom is an idea.
ReplyDeleteI liked the cleaning part! Do you plan to hold and rent this place or flip it?
ReplyDeleteA "crash" room would be good since Chuck and I plan on utilizing it quite a bit in the future.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Heather! You guys are always welcome!
