Whew! Been a while since I updated, but the upstairs rooms are getting worked on! Ty's room is completely framed up, and his adjoining bathroom with Kaleb is completed. Chandler's room is framed, but the bathroom isn't complete yet. The hall areas are done, and Kaleb's room was started on today. Here's some pictures:
Here is the stairwell. It comes off into the kitchen/great room area and has a large "under the stairwell" closet behind it. There was supposed to be only a railing between the first and second flights of stairs, but I had them do an entire wall. The house plan is so open that there is relatively no place to hang family portraits, so the walls in the staircase are going to be covered with them!
This is upstairs where the balcony will be. I am standing in the great room.
Entrance to Chandler's room
Chandler's entrance to his bathroom.
Now I am standing on the balcony looking down into the great room.
This is Ty's bedroom. He is the only person in the house who gets the awesome pond view! He has three windows. Two in his bedroom and one in his bathroom vanity area.
Ty's closet. The entrance to the largest part of the attic is in Ty's closet. Ty already had a walk in, but I asked the builders if they could use as much space as possible so that we could have a full size door to the attic area. Umm... now Ty's closet is about 10ft x 10ft. lol Well, I really did need a place to store that drum set!
Kaleb and Ty share a bathroom, and it is similar to a Jack and Jill, but a tad different. Each boy has his own en suite vanity area and private sink. As a matter of fact, there are six bathroom sinks in this house. Now no one can blame toothpaste on anyone else. If it's in your sink, it's YOURS!!! lol The shared toilet/tub area is in the middle of the two vanity areas, but they aren't straight like a Jack/Jill. In other words, you cannot see from one boys' room into the other.
Kaleb's room has a side dormer type area off of it. The window there is going to be gorgeous!
I added an upstairs laundry to this plan. Our current washer and dryer are full size stackable and they will be moved to this closet area off of Kaleb's room upstairs. Yay for no toting clothes back and forth from downstairs! Kaleb's closet was able to be pushed into the attic space up there. There are attic entrances from inside Ty's closet, inside Chandler's closet, and all around the perimeter of Kaleb's room will be attic space with an entrance door inside his room.
And... from the front with the upstairs started. It's coming together nicely!
