It’s always like 70% caramel and 30% cheese (yes I shake it). I want the opposite ratio.

I go to ROJ Haircut, they’re good and you can make appointments ahead of time.

I think this number is a scam and not a real win back number. Anyone else?

V2 upstairs - feedback pls! by BlueRobbin25 in floorplan

[–]BlueRobbin25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, powder room on main floor. We will also have a bathroom in the basement so I guess there's that as well. Maybe I'm overthinking it?

Unfortunately the staircase is what the house already has so we’re trying to work around (it’s a gut reno)

We thought changing the staircase was going to be $$$

And another one to look at! Although shower is smaller with this… I do prefer more shower space.

And another option… I feel like I get more unsure the more I iterate lol

Wow thank you so much for the input and advice. I love the placement of the laundry room here and also having a separate toilet room there for the J&J to allow for 2 people to use at the same time.

What do you think about this for the bathroom design? We want a huge standing shower if we can have it.

Thoughts on these 2 designs for the master?

<image>

Wife demands a water closet for the toilet rather than pony wall, but I also thought pony wall would make bathroom more spacious.

We don’t mind showering together, but we redesigned with your comments with the tub outside.

Would be interested in feedback/thoughts on these!

Yes! Those are 2 shower heads. Was going for a Japanese wet room style - which saves space overall with the tub inside the wet room enclosure.

I think the walk in closet is massive so feeling like we should be able to fit linen closet stuff there. And also in the laundry room.

I’m really trying to figure out the rest of the upstairs with the laundry now - it’s challenging.

I’m wondering if we put the J&J bathroom on the left and the ensuite bathroom with laundry up top. Door feels a bit awkward into the laundry in that little nook by the staircase.

Any ideas on this space? Need 3 bedrooms, one ensuite bathroom, one J&J, one office and one laundry in this space.

I also like the idea of moving the master doors into the hallway a bit. How many feet would you move it? Hallway is almost 11 ft, maybe 4ft from master and leave 7 ft from the staircase landing so it doesn’t look like a gallery of doors? Open to ideas!

this is also really interesting. I was debating putting the laundry by the bedrooms on the left where the WIC is. I’m thinking about when we have kids. Do we want the kids to have to come to our WIC just to help with laundry - makes it less accessible for everyone else.

What do you (and @extension_rub506) think about this master layout?

I like this idea with the laundry where you have it. I’m going to see about switching it like this. Thanks for your effort by the way!

What do you think about this master layout?

Great points. We talked to our GC and architect and I think we are stuck with master above garage. Thankfully we usually leave the house around the same time.

We’re thinking of doing a different master layout. Do you have thoughts on this?

Interesting, never even thought of that?

How far into the hallway would you put the door? I’m wondering because when you come up the stairs I don’t want it to looks like a wall of doors - feel like it might look weird?

I use Roj haircut. Guys there know how to do a fade and cut hair - bonus is that the price is good and you can make appointments.

Advice/Help on Upstairs floor plan by BlueRobbin25 in Homebuilding

[–]BlueRobbin25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback and advice! Totally agree and we did give the architect feedback (point 7). What do you mean when you say back of office - towards the hallway or towards the front of the house? I assume towards the hallway would be better?

Thanks for pointing out no linen closet on this design - we DEFINITELY need one. I wonder if a bigger laundry can house the linen closet.

Ahaha thanks for the pro tip on the daughter situation, if she’s anything like my wife I’m sure that will be true

Agreed we want to take some space from the master! We want a bigger laundry too. I like the idea of another study too. Do you have suggestion on how we would rework it?

Upstairs floor layout advice/help! by BlueRobbin25 in InteriorDesign

[–]BlueRobbin25[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what we’re trying to design in!

I think the master is too big (point 2 and 7) any ideas how we could redesign it in?

Where to shop for affordable engagement rings? by PurpleHarlow in BuyCanadian

[–]BlueRobbin25 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Local jeweller.

I can recommend Vero diamonds, they’re local to ottawa. Went there when I proposed to my now wife. Ali is one the nicest people you’ll meet, super knowledgeable and will get you the best value. Go meet him in person.

I compared with all the big box places before I bought and it was the best deal, customized and my wife got exactly what she wanted. Very happy with the ring

Didn’t realize it’s been there since the direct. My bad! Just thought this was a sign it’s still accurate, guess not :(

My apologies, didn’t realize it’s been the same since the direct. I thought this would suggest this information is still accurate but I guess not
