A View From The Inside - Second Floor

Access to the second floor is limited to climbing a ladder, but I took a few minutes to see the framing progress and get a sense of real life dimensions.  Pretty nice the way the space is used, I think.  Of course, I did a great deal of the designing....

The master bedroom as seen through the walk-in closet wall will have four windows for viewing and a vaulted ceiling.

The master bathroom and walk-in closet are approximately 24' long in total with varying widths because of the step-side walls.  There is over 400 sq. ft.

This is a view of the vanity area with the toilet/shower area behind that.  The door entering this area is at a 45° angle to the rest of the walls.  The ceilings are partially vaulted and partially flat at 8' high.  There will be many interesting angles in here.

This view from the shower area shows the entire bathroom and walk-in closet.  The window in the closet will provide light for the entire area during the day.

We avoided skylights because of potential roof problems.

The laundry and storage area are shown here.  The laundry in the lower right-hand corner was carved out of one of the two original 6' wide closets from the large guest bedroom.  We were going to use it for storage, but decided this room was plenty large enough for those needs... especially with the additional space in the Michigan basement.

Note to the left of the window is a 3' x 3' space we grabbed from the stairway coming up.

The large guest bedroom measures approximately 12' x 15' with a large window overlooking the street... no great deal there.

The smaller guest room measures about 9' x 11' with and identical window.

These bedrooms will share a 6' x 8' bathroom.

The side view from the master bedroom is shown here through these windows.  The one on the left has a board in front of it so it really is not shorter than the one on the right.

My wife will have her desk facing the lake next to the window in the middle.

She is already talking about cutting tree limbs to enhance her views.
