Convertible bed slides under the office space in sections to create a couch. Small table slides out to create a dining space. like the slide out bins under the bed - avoiding the mechanics of drawers but still using the space efficiently for storage

Q

Photo

Maya's mentioned wanting a small, enclosed space to read and work in...which speaks to her introverted personality...but this might be a nice solution. Looks really neat.

Q

Photo

Hidden beds are a neat idea...but beyond my ability to build and probably very expensive to have custom built.

Q

Photo

Both girls are interested in netting floored loft areas...

Q

Photo

shifting the use of the lofted area from sleeping to 'activity' is a neat idea.

Q

Photo

Both Ashley and Joseph like simple, platform bed designs for the master BR. Built in headboards and sideboards are also appealing. Hidden charging/plug-ins are probably a given.

This neat take on an alternating stair up to the lofted area is neat and saves floor space.

The lower picture here might provide a neat solution for Maya's desire for a close, protected space to read and hang out - on her bed, under the stairs to the lofted area above

Q

Photo

Direct vent gas fireplace in an open, double height living space that connects living, kitchen, dining areas.

Q

Photo

reminds me that a built in bench could be used to easily hide office/work materials used in a common, open space

Q

Photo

I used curves on our countertops, but this sharper angle is appealing too

Q

Photo

Putting a closet under a lofted bed is very appealing to me.

Q

Photo

really cool bathroom implementation saving space by putting the tub adjoining the shower space and allowing the shower to spray into that drained area

Q

Photo

Neat way to use space that would otherwise be an empty wall protecting a stairway opening

Q

Photo

Inte

Q

Photo

compact eating, cooking, living space

Q

Photo

eagle's nest work space

Q

Photo
Photo

A little eagle's nest workspace might be created by extending that stairway landing out over the kitche...just a few feet of space for a desk looking out over the open living space...

Q

Photo

nice entry organizer - even as an entry point into a living space, this would allow personal items to be stashed and kept out of sight and out of the way

Q

Photo

looks like a really functional living space

Q

Photo

could definitely build this bed

Q

Photo

very thin coffee table seems practical and stylish

Q

Photo

built in booth with movable table; seems like a good mix of space efficiency and flexibility

Q

Photo

look at that cool design feature that doubles as an insane built in bike rack!

Q

Photo

neat 'floating' stair steps - great for this sort of implementation

Q

Photo

built ins side tables, and dresser, wall-mount headboard, platform bed = simple and space saving

Q

Photo

simple shelves for entry/exit organization.

Q

Photo

built in dresser maximizes storage in a smallish room. Ikea options?

Q

Photo

shed roof - lots of windows - deck off the main floor.

Q

Photo

lofted bed, built in drawers below, built in desk along the wall.

Q

Photo

built in shelves and closet space

Q

Photo

cool corner shelves

Q

Photo

amazing modern exterior

Q

Photo

fireplace as divider between living and kitchen; still seems like a connected space

Q

Photo

this is a very appealing look to me...

Q

Photo

might be a more efficient alternative to garage doors, while also keeping a nice connection to an outdoor space...

Q

Photo

efficient kitchen; looks great

Q

Photo

built in bench for an eating space seems like a good idea...although a semi-built in might be a better idea...or just bench on the wall...

Q

Photo

shed roof; modest proportions

Q

Photo

This is a good idea - garage and unenclosed storage on the lowest level with some enclosed space - entry, office, etc.

Q

Photo

shed roof; passive orientation

Q

Photo

still...relatively small space for living

Q

Photo

small kitchen, dining, living space; could probably do without the 6-person dining table...

Q

Photo

space under the stairs for the dog? maybe a double entry interior/exterior in/out for animals? clever.

Q

Photo

two entry kitchen space; look at that stairway; what happens to the little bit of space under the stairs (shoes and umbrellas?)

Q

Photo

neat outdoor - built in bench with table

Q

Photo

living, eating, cooking space

Q

Photo

really neat - lot of blank, white wall there, but...could work

Q

Photo

The fair-skinned among us really like the idea of covered, outdoor spaces. Any outdoor living space for our new build will require screens - the mosquitoes are vicious near that creek!

Q

Photo

Floating shelves are very appealing. Could probably make some of these from the walnut planks I have. U-shaped kitchen with one angle of entry/exit is not as appealing as a walk through...although this looks to have enough space for circulation.

Q

Photo

Amazing detail work here. This looks great. Possible to make some 4x4 posts like this from the walnut tree we cut down??

Q

Photo

Simple, shed roof and 'box' footprint looks great here. What are the implications of a multi-angle shed roof???

Q

Photo

open shelves and simple lines...

Q

Photo

island and bar in one...I like this better than a formal dining area...

Q

Photo

simple table that I think I could build from walnut planks

Q

Photo

cool vertical space over a kitchen bar. delineates the space and adds some utility, but isn't as constraining as closed shelves or cabinets would be. Always wanted to do this in our existing house...

Q

Photo

neat contrast between the white of the kitchen and the green/grey of the island

Q

Photo

look at that tree!!!

Q

Photo

looking into kitchen, breakfast nook

Q

Photo

small breakfast nook opening to kitchen/living space beyond - I'd look to build in a desk/workspace for Ashley that'd be open to the living space around it

Q

Photo

lower living space with sitting area above

Q

Photo

walkup to shared sitting area

Q

Photo

sitting/work area overlooking double height open space below

Q

Photo

modern kitchen - open space walkaround island - no seating - built in storage and open shelves

Q

Photo

mixed materials exterior

Q

Photo

modern bathtub and shower in the master bath

Q

Photo

great stairway

Q

Photo

simple, modern kitchen - walk around island with seating space

Q

Photo

I think I could make a bed frame similar to this.

Q

Photo

separating out some 'entry' space for bathroom storage of linens and towels seems like a neat idea
