Thank you for all the suggestions! fondantfancy, We did consider switching the shower and toilet on the first plan, and even drew it, but when I showed the three plans to the contractor, he nixed that one. The spaces are much tighter than it seems from the drawings. Although the dimensions are to scale, the tub is just an icon my husband dropped in, and the real one will be a bit larger. We drew a rectangular shower in that position, but it has to go almost to the tub, making a kind of barrier along much of the tub side. I could make it glass there, but still. We have pretty much converged on the later plan now (shower and tub both against outside wall). shannonaz, we saw two possibilities for the shower. One is a rectagular shower butted against the tub/deck (is a "pony wall" a half wall with glass above?) and the same width. The other is the one shown here, with the shower cut off at an angle. The gap between them would be filled with a 12"-18" wide low cabinet for storage. If we leave the large window behind the door, then we don't have much storage in the room. tzmryg, This is not our master bath - we do not have a master bath, much to my dismay. We have two hall baths, all shared by my husband and myself and two sons. At the moment, the bath you see here is emptied out in preparation for gutting, and we are all using the other, very small hall bath. Here are photos from an earlier thread, posted when we were renovating that one: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/bath/msg0917504220483.html I did look at the thread on turning one bath into two, and I was astounded at how well they turned out. I think that there were no windows in that space, which probably helped with space arrangement. I see your point about using the entire wall for the vanity/cabinets (we would have to remove the large window). But one reason for getting away from the plan with a vanity is cost - the cost of a large vanity is probably about the same as the cost of sealing the two windows and greatly enlarging the one over the bathtub. I think that the large window would add more to the room. What do you mean by "towers" - tall cabinets? If we stick with the second plan, we have the option of putting a floor-to-ceiling cabinet in the space behind the door, if we remove the window that is there now. If we don't remove the window, then we can us a low cabinet or bank of drawers.

Elsa I LOVE what you have done in your LR - it says, come in to my cozy spot & read, relax, watch TV - Since you have inquired about further critique here's my arm chair assessment - all little tweaky type things: - I love to see a better pic of the rug - I think I see rust color in there, which would offer a great color for accessories - pillows, ceramics etc - Table lamp - shade is wrong & I don't know if the scale is right http://cgi.ebay.com/Lamp-Factory-LF15977-Table-Lamp-Oxblood-Ceramic-Finish_W0QQitemZ180406822473QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLamps_US?hash=item2a0115a649 http://cgi.ebay.com/29-High-Traditional-Amber-Porcelain-Table-Lamp_W0QQitemZ170352527714QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLamps_US?hash=item27a9cd4962 - The sage couch pillows are fine, but I think the other 2 would be better suited with some punchy rug colors. They sort of say "man cave" & your room is everything but that. The patterned one particularly is throwing things off - Trying to peak in the study - have you tried or considered swapping the chair in the study for the one in LR? or the one at the desk in LR to other end? - I can't see either very well in pics so just a thought. Have you tried removing the floor lamp & pushing the chair back - I actually like the chair - I think I different cover for the kidney pillow would offer more. I wonder if this would work http://www.potterybarn.com/products/vine-floral-embroidered-lumbar-pillow-cover/?pkey=cpatterned-striped-pillows or this http://www.potterybarn.com/products/paisley-jacquard-pillow-cover/?pkey=cpatterned-striped-pillows This on the couch? I'm a sucker for these http://www.potterybarn.com/products/bird-embroidered-pillow-covers/?pkey=cpatterned-striped-pillows - any of these? http://www.restorationhardware.com/rh/catalog/product/product.jsp?productId=prod1613041&navAction=jump&navCount=1 - I would agree about the Grandfather clock - he just looks as if there was an after thought, no where else to house him. - now I wonder if the desk could go where the GF clock is? either caddy or in the corner. - The photo in frame behind the desk is not centered - on anything - I agree to the above posters who rec a different frame - but also, I like the art wall in the study & think that same feel would be suited well in LR - I think the Ivy & some type of glass or ceramic bottle on top of TV would be better suited somewhere else. - The throw on the chair would be better suited on the sectional I Love shopping for others Hopefully some of this has sparked ideas Best to you!

You have a pretty house. I think there is too much stuff, and I bet you have already de cluttered, but you need to do more. If you remove things, the effect is a more spacious house, and buyers want that. I would remove the office chair in the living room, the little table in the master bath by the shower, the throw rugs all over and the desks in the bedrooms. You have little tables and benches here and there against walls that are not part of the main furniture, and so remove them. Get rid of all the plants and the book case in the breakfast nook. Make it bare to make it look spacious. This post was edited by sheilajoyce on Sat, Mar 1, 14 at 18:18

Your house is darling! One suggestion is to get another set of curtains for your living room window. The curtains look kind of puny and don't do justice to that window. So get another set to add to the set you already have and "fluff them up" so to speak. I also think you need to better define the living room. Right now the living room appears small to me but like there is a huge walkway to the kitchen/dining room. And it appears the the living room is only big enough for a small couch, one chair and a coffee table. Because the area is so open you really need to use furniture placement to define a larger living space. I would place the couch on the other side of the fireplace with a sofa table behind, and 2 small lamps on either end of the sofa table. Then you will want two chairs on the other side of the room (in front of the window) with a table in between them. This will put the focus on that great window and really show it off as well as make the room look bigger and the walkway to the dining room smaller. Does that make sense?
