Plans: Top Floor

So the top floor is where all of the bedrooms are. I like keeping the living and entertaining area separate so I knew I didnt want a bedroom on the main floor. Eventually the playroom could be a bedroom or office if we need to accommodate someone who can't climb stairs or something. Anyways, the stairs come up into a hardwood landing and office area. This will have built in cabinetry and a half wall bookshelf to the left near the stairwell. (the bookshelf and exposed beams upstairs are both something that I didnt notice in the plans until way down the road and I was exstatic! David likes to surprise us with these awesome little details!) This will be nice because currently our "office/bills" area is on our countertop in one section of our kitchen. It will be nice to get the clutter out of the kitchen! The bedrooms are pretty self explanatory. One will be for Reese (our daughter) and one for Wheeler (our son). Each bedroom will be vaulted with exposed stained beams. The rooms will be carpeted. John nixed on our initial plans the balcony off the master (saying we would never use it :( ) and moved the closet across the room to attach to our bathroom. He likes getting ready in one area and not having to walk across the room back and forth from bath to closet. John doesnt like my hair dryer and make up out on the bathroom counter so he had a vanity area put by the window in our closet that i am pretty excited about. We are not doing a tub, contrary to real estate advice. We are not tub people and we would rather have a double shower with a built in seat rather than a smaller shower and separate tub. I think I have talked John out of the steam shower, which he initially wanted. We have a strict budget here John! Casement windows are all upstairs as well.
