    Unable to clearly see your plans. But in regards to no tub in master I would agree, we have a Jacuzzi and have used maybe a dozen times in 20 years. However if you speak to anyone regarding resell value they will insist that you put a tub in the master. So if you have the space I would put one in just don't put one in that costs a fortune.

    I agree - it's hard to see the plans. Is there no full bath (and bedroom) on the 1st floor?

    If so, what if you have an elderly guest who has trouble with stairs? What if someone breaks their leg and can't use the stairs temporarily? etc. (A family member has a home with only a half bath on the main floor, and it makes it so our grandma cannot visit.)

    Maybe you can forgo the door between the mudroom and the laundry, since there's already a door between laundry and kitchen?

    Will the closet there interfere with movement in the garage?Like getting out of the back seat or carrying things to and from the trunk, or getting to the garbage cans.

    Seems like it would make more sense to enter from garage into the mudroom, instead of the laundry room?

    I don't think the 2nd floor plan got posted.

    I can't read the room labels and there is no furniture. How would anyone be able to comment?.

    I've done what I can using photoshop on the images you posted to crop in closer and darken the images everything is a bit more visible. It's much easier to get a really good image tho if Photoshop is used on a full sized copy of the originals before they are uploaded but these are at least somewhat legible.

    BTW - I also rotated these to put the front door at the bottom of the image because that's how most folks here are used to reading plans. Am I right that you will have a rear-facing garage or did I misunderstand where the front door is?

    I think you need to work on the master bedroom and bathroom space -- there is a lot of square footage there, but I think you can use it better -- maybe get some natural light in the bathroom? A larger closet area? Good Luck.

    Thank you for taking the time to photoshop this!! Yes the gargage has a rear entry so it's kind of tucked away... Kids can play near top, closer to house. I agree, just noticed, no window in master bath!!!

    It's still hard to tell which are windows and which are doors. Can you make a darker image to upload, make the dimensions readable, too?

    What is the little closet between the kitchen and living room?

    How do you plan to use the parlor?

    Is there a reason you're not going with a walk in closet in the master?
