GOALS for the new house Clear front entrance.Īs mentioned above, the current house lacks a clear entrance and leaves guests confused about where they should go. For me, the kitchen is the heart and center of a home, so having a small kitchen awkwardly tucked into the corner of the house (with dated granite and cabinetry no less) was going to be the first thing to go in any renovation. So, when we first considered the purchase of this house, making sure that we’d be able to raise up the ceilings was a prerequisite. In my opinion, low ceilings are one of the most concerning things about a house because they can be really difficult to change-and often, can lead to a house feeling dark and crowded. We gravitate towards an open, airy vibe, so a house made up of small rooms that are separated off from each other makes us feel claustrophobic. If you’ve seen our Austin house, you know that Adam and I are big on an open floor plan layout.
There’s also nowhere for me and Adam to work (which is a problem when you both work from home), so one of us usually ends up taking zoom calls from the bedroom while the other sits at the kitchen table with air pods in, praying that the kids won’t get into a fight while you’re on an important call.Ĭlosed-off rooms. It’s a cozy fit for our family of four, so when family or friends come to stay with us, we’re bursting at the seams. Aside from the awkward floor plan, we’re also lacking space in general. So, no one is quite sure whether to circle around to the front of the house, or enter straight into the door of our laundry room. When you pull into the driveway, the path leads you down a sidewalk straight to the back door. While technically there is a front door, it’s been used by exactly zero people since we bought the house. Ready to see how we’re laying it all out, and exactly what the added square footage will include? Come on in… Now, I’m excited to start diving into the nitty-gritty details of the design and renovation itself, and there’s no better place to start than by walking you through the new beach house floor plan. We’re creating a serene, minimalist beach bungalow, while keeping the 1950s ranch elements that give the house its character.
So far, I’ve shared the backstory and our overall inspiration for this project. Our goal is to get ahead, so that once we’ve got those approved plans in hand, we can hit the ground running on construction. Permits are filed, and we’ve been meeting with our builders to hammer out interior elevations as we make decisions like the kitchen cabinet and drawer configurations, or the placement of the tub fillers and sink faucets in each bathroom. But even though nails aren’t being hammered yet, things are definitely happening behind-the-scenes on this project. Because that would imply that construction is starting sometime in the near future. Be sure to check with your contractor or local building authority to see what is required for your area.Our family is spending the last couple weeks of summer at Zuma Beach House, and we’re sincerely hoping that it’s one of the last times we’ll be able to sleep here before construction starts.
