6.  Bedrooms: hardwood or carpet?

7.  Screened porch vs. sunroom

8.  Interior door options: barn door or pocket?

9.  Two-story foyer and/or family room?  Nope.  Feels like a waste of space to me and cleaning up there is the suck.

11.  Full bathroom downstairs? (assume no other bedroom downstairs)  Not necessary but fine either way.

12.  Kitchen: island or peninsula?

Please answer and share any opinions. Most are choices, some are yes or no questions.



1. Floor plan: open/semi-open, or separate rooms?
 Separate.  I like some connection (our first floor makes a circle), but I don't like feeling like the entire first floor is, essentially, the kitchen.

2. Master bedroom: upstairs or downstairs?
 Ours is upstairs, I'd prefer downstairs.


3. Downstairs bedroom/guest room?
In the poolhouse.  Mwahaha.


4. Basement: walkout or none? (regular or daylight basement not an option)
 Teeny dugout murder basement for storage and laundry only.


5. Formal living and/or dining room?
Neither.


6. Bedrooms: hardwood or carpet?
 Hardwood.


7. Screened porch vs. sunroom
We have a sunroom, I want both.  My husband is eaten ALIVE by all bugs, so he is dying for a screened porch.


8. Interior door options: barn door or pocket?
 Pocket.


9. Two-story foyer and/or family room?
 Ew, no.  I hate that.  Sorry for all those I have now offended.


10. Jack and Jill bath?
 I would like that for the kids, but, alas, we do not have one.


11. Full bathroom downstairs? (assume no other bedroom downstairs)
 Weird.


12. Kitchen: island or peninsula?
 Island.


13. Ceiling height: 9 or 10 feet?
 10+


14. Windows: double-hung or single-hung?
 Double preferred.  That's what she said.

[05heel]

I appreciate the answers! I'm a definite no on two-story spaces and master downstairs. I'm indifferent at best to Jack and Jill baths too. I think I'm just bitter at the idea my kids could have their own bathroom. Lol. Everything else is up for debate.

Does anyone have and dislike their walkout basement? I really don't like all the stairs off the deck and not being able to walk directly from the first floor to the back yard. Everyone I ask seems to think it's a must have though.

I do not have a walkout basement.  Our kitchen door goes out two steps down to the patio (which is at ground level, duh).  I LOVE IT.  I grew up with the deck one story up over the walk out basement and not only did we never use the unfinished walk out basement, but the deck was all closed in and the yard was chopped up.  Whereas, I think my yard feels more expansive because it's all together on one level.

The downside is that my house is old and doesn't have an upstairs laundry area, so my washer and dryer are in my creepy murder basement with a giant paint spill on the floor that looks like dried blood (it's paint, I checked).

Also, I'm not liking the trend of including downstairs guest rooms in new houses. This was confirmed this weekend when I got stuck in the downstairs room on the family vacation. It's weird being right in the middle of all the action, especially if you go to bed early or sleep in.

Please answer and share any opinions.  Most are choices, some are yes or no questions.

1.  Floor plan: open/semi-open, or separate rooms? We just went from open to separate. I think I like the separate, it's cozier and it will be easier to heat in the winter. The "so easy to entertain" is kind of BS bc in my
Experience guests just end up underfoot in the kitchen anyway.

2.  Master bedroom: upstairs or downstairs? Um. This is the first house I've had with an upstairs. I don't care.

3.  Downstairs bedroom/guest room? Nah it's nice to be away from noise of living areas.

4.  Basement: walkout or none? (regular or daylight basement not an option) Walkout, definitely. So nice to get stuff in and out of storage.

5.  Formal living and/or dining room?  Formal living is unnecessary. I love formal dining rooms.

6.  Bedrooms: hardwood or carpet? Carpet. Quieter and cozier.

7.  Screened porch vs. sunroom Um I like screen porches that have actual windows. So you can use them longer.

8.  Interior door options: barn door or pocket? Pocket. Classic detail.

9.  Two-story foyer and/or family room? Family room. Useful and unpretentious.

10.  Jack and Jill bath? Sure.

11.  Full bathroom downstairs? (assume no other bedroom downstairs) yes we love ours.

12.  Kitchen: island or peninsula? I'm digging the kitchen table again. Lots of nostalgia there and it's so kid friendly

13.  Ceiling height: 9 or 10 feet? 10! For taller Christmas trees.

14.  Windows: double-hung or single-hung? Heyo

[bluetopaz]

1. Floor plan: open/semi-open, or separate rooms? Separate.  I like being able to paint rooms different colors.

3. Downstairs bedroom/guest room? Same

4. Basement: walkout or none? (regular or daylight basement not an option)  I don't know what that means, I grew up in FL.

5. Formal living and/or dining room?  I like having them, despite never using them.

6. Bedrooms: hardwood or carpet?  We have (fake) hardwood throughout

7. Screened porch vs. sunroom   Either is great, I wish our porch was screened.

8. Interior door options: barn door or pocket?  Pocket

9. Two-story foyer and/or family room?  Nah, we had vaulted ceilings in our old house and it was a pain to clean.

10. Jack and Jill bath?  They're great between kids rooms

11. Full bathroom downstairs? (assume no other bedroom downstairs)  Seems unnecessary 

12. Kitchen: island or peninsula? Island

13. Ceiling height: 9 or 10 feet?  I'm short, it doesn't matter

14. Windows: double-hung or single-hung? Double
