How Suite It Is

Last week we solicited your opinion on what to do with our third floor - suite or study? No need to tally the responses - not a single person was on team study; everyone was on team #treatyoself.

We sincerely appreciated the input -- it was especially helpful hearing from parents (thanks Emily and Abby!) who all seemed gung-ho about placing children about as far away from the master bedroom as one can get away with short of violating child endangerment laws (how early is too early to start free-ranging your kids??). 

Having heard your opinions, we sat down last week and thought through the options and considered whether there were any good compromises. We think we came up with a solution that splits the baby, as they say. Take a look at this: 

In the spirit of making a master suite, we are taking over the entire hallway between the two rooms and making it into a closet. You'll come up the stairs and immediately be in the Master suite - all of it will be our space. The vestibule area will be a walk in closet, but think wardrobes or built-in's - you won't be walking straight into clothing. This should hopefully fix the lack of closet space that was a problem with the more conservative option design we showed you last week.

Importantly, this design also lets us get a full bathroom AND still allow for a small room where we can store a baby or desk (or expand to a comically large closet space at a later date). There may be a tweak or two left, but this is essentially the final design. We are pretty excited about it, but what do you think?
