Cole Residence
Ok here's a thought: Beverly, you mentioned a shower for dog and people in basement. So what about a small wet room style bathroom with a shower for people and instead of a people tub there's a raised dog wash station located in the shower? There could be a door to close as well so if you're just washing the dogs and they shake off they're not slinging water everywhere except in the wet room. This could also be used for the pool with a frosted french door. Yeah that might could be cool.
Flooring. The color not necessarily the wide plank.
I think I remember seeing something about ya'll wanting natural light above the vanity. (dad's currently got the binder) Doesn't have to be above the vanity necessarily - just somewhere in the bathroom!
Yeah, not a fan of it in the closet
Laundry room attached to master closet; Yes! will want another general door too though to a general hallway and access for other people - just need quick access through the master closet.
Maybe some good built-in bookshelves for the little ones playroom. WE included a picture I think of shelving in the hallway outside of the main floor playroom/extra bedroom space if possible. With double door entry into that room. Shelving recessed in walls outside the doors in hallway of that room we liked. Should be a similar picture.
Playroom
Windows. The floor to ceiling idea, not necessarily the width. Yes pretty.
Do they make black long ones like that which crank open from the bottom? or Side? I do like those even mixed with the others too. Or with no panes in the back of the house in places. maybe with less framing in between if possible.
Windows? Yes maybe. We may want a mixture in back wuth some windows without any panes all the way down. Not sure we want all windows to look exactly the same.
Breakfast banquette. Better windows?
Master Shower idea
Windows?
Yes? No? yes I think we could see something like that
Double sided fireplace
Double sided fireplace. The best example I've found so far that fits the photo ideas you printed off. yes, having a hard time finding exactly what we're envisioning with that. Cause kinda looking for a more contemporary linear gas double sided fireplace - might be higher on the wall? Depends on if its the tv wall or just a stand alone fireplace and tv somewhere else
Hm, no not really wanting a grand staircase at all. Not this style. looking for more of a very contemporary look with that has stone and wood, etc. I seem to like some of the farmhouse style pics but looking for just a little more architectural look than farmhouse
Imagination time for the entry way. I'll put the photos in order as to how I'm seeing it in my head. Again I have this drawn up on paper. Beverly, as you described it in your notes this design from the Victorian era came to my mind but in a more modern farmhouse approach.
I had found this picure too; yes just taller windows for the tower/reading room
Yes, taller windows like this
might be a little too far above roof line for good look; windows a little short
Lookout tower.
a little too traditional
don't like the windows; ceiling ok. Stlll thinking fireplace in 2 way where it might not be the focal point
Interesting
like the ceiling and windows
this is pretty, but probably wouldn't be able to see from the house side
like the stairs and landscaping down to pool area
master layout. Interesting with water spout out of shower bench
