house changes



Vonnie
so von... Thank you so so much for doing all of this! I can't even imagine how many hours this took you. and girl your so buisy, how did you have time to do this? So we never know when we are are going to build, so i'm just going to get all this stuff in order for the spring just in case. Please don't put a ton of time into this because we are planning on getting an architecht. I don't even know what an architecht does? Do they do a floor plan? If they do, then don't worry about working on the floor plan anymore. I just really trust your opinion. And don't forget to keep track of your hours because I want to make this painting trade fair for you. I'm going to try and get you a floor plan of bobbys house because its the best. it just flows really well.
Here are some concerns/suggestions for the first floor....
tv room area
  • Im thinking that it would be better to have the tv room nested back somewhere to give it privacy. I know I told you to do the tv room that way so soddy. I dont like how the tv room becomes the traffic area for the bedrooms. do you have any other suggestions how to lay this?

bathroom

  • maybe make that central bathroom a little smaller so that we can fit two bathrooms on the first floor? We are thinking of having two functional bathrooms with showers on the first floor instead of a toilet room. Is that going to work?

I put some questions on the paper but I'll write them again

Pantry?

Storage space?

Storage space by entry, it would be nice to have a little hallway/nook

kitchen island?with storage possibly?

It would be nice to have the house wider to maximize lake view. This is my fault because I drew it like a square. so soddy.

What do you think about making the family room a little bigger? Mabybe seperating it by something? I don't know.

2nd floor... I love the pattern on the upstairs and how it lays on the house! good work!

  • Is there a way to connect the masterbath with the bedroom?
  • can we add some square footage for a biggger closet?
  • we changed our minds on having a fireplace in the bedroom. i think adam wants it in his crows nest instead
  • maybe extend the bathroom to the deck for a big shower?
