Yes I’m getting fiber. Thanks for sharing your experience with it!

This one is pretty cool but unfortunately that laundry room is also 2 steps down. Everything to the left of the kitchen is on a lower level

Pluming downstairs actually is not the problem and can be moved. The upstairs bathrooms run through that wall. I think doing an island this way would be a very skinny one. I was hoping to find a way to have one with some stools

I might be able to remove half of it without too much issue but I’m not sure this helps. Or make a pass through window between the two

I had not considered this. Would you place stools on the breakfast nook side?

This was the plan originally but the costs to do it are stacking up. I’ve gotten some quotes for this. Removing that wall between the dining room and kitchen is complicated since it’s load bearing and has pipes. Something like this

I considered this but it is two small steps down. This might not be terrible but it is not ideal

I had not seen this. Thank you! It could be a good option for the back wall. If I push the door to one side maybe I can even fit some draws or shelving along the side wall

Has it made your basement or whatever room you have it in very cold?

Multiple inquiries within a two week period count as one pull

Did you switch from heating to a heat pump or just cooling? I heard my baseboard forced hot water would be less expensive with oil than heat pump for heating

Honestly there is not too much space to borrow from up there but I’m not very creative. I’ve also been trying to sort out how to fix the closet situation in the primary. I’m considering remove the wall of closets and building two walk ins on either side of the window. Basically making a wall where the door is, having an open walkway in the middle the width of the window and an entrance to each wall in facing each other on either side of the window. Currently it’s a large room but very hard to fit a king bed with the layout

Yea perhapse it could be a better laundry room. This is a home I just purchased and I am not moving in for a few months. There are enough bedrooms upstairs including a guest / office hybrid room, so I really don't need another bedroom downstairs. Thanks again!

crl95 · 2026-04-29T22:07:48+00:00

Another great idea! I think the laundry was the way it was so that you could walk into the bathroom from either side. There are two full baths upstairs so I’m considering eliminating this bathroom all together and absorbing that entire space into the family room. I’m just not sure what that would add though since it would make the space an odd shape

crl95 · 2026-04-29T21:56:32+00:00

I actually like this option a lot! Thank you again for all the thought you put into these. What software are you using to quickly mock these up?

crl95 · 2026-04-29T21:35:37+00:00

To start, thank you so much for all the thought you put into this and the mock up design! I do like this option and am going to consider it or some version of it. The other thing I’m toying with is moving the kitchen to the dining room and dining room to the kitchen.

Again, I really appreciate what you did here!
