First Copy of the Blueprints
We got the first copy of the blueprints to go over! So exciting!
This is the elevations, the plans for what the outside of the cabin will look like.
The first thing that jumps out at me is that the windows don’t line up.
This is why. The loft over the laundry room and bathroom lowers the ceiling, so there isn’t enough room for the window. There are two options, a smaller window or raise the ceiling.
This is the bedroom. It is 14′ x 12′. That’s not small, but these doors look like they really eat into the usable space.
This is a photo of the bedroom with the bifold closet doors.
Out-swing doors will take up even more space.
Barn style doors take space too, just on the sides instead of in the front. And they have a lot of personality.
Chase, the gentleman we are working with now, suggested bypass closet doors and sent us a photo of a cabin they are working on right now.
Perfect! There is only access to one side at a time, but they don’t swing into the room or take up any wall space at all.
The cabin is from Westwood Cabins. You can see more photos and floor plans at www.westwoodcabins.com and www.facebook.com/westwoodcabins.
