Planning Our Bedroom Suite Storage Room

As I discussed yesterday, I’m nearly completed with our bed room. As quickly as I get these previous couple of initiatives completed, that may imply that almost all of our bed room suite will probably be completed — the lobby, my walk-in closet and laundry space, the bed room, and our lavatory. However that leaves yet another space that must be completed earlier than our complete bed room suite is definitely completed. I’ll nonetheless want to complete the storage room.

The world marked “storage room” on the ground plan above is the hallway lavatory. Ever since we moved into this home, this room has been our visitor lavatory. However now that it’s positioned inside our bed room suite, it is a very unusual place to have a visitor lavatory. So the plan is to show this room right into a much-needed storage room. For almost all of our time right here, this room regarded like this…

After which I had plans for a small makeover on this room. We had the remnant of quartz that was leftover from our grasp lavatory reduce and put in in right here. After which I used to be going so as to add wallpaper and make a brand new bathe curtain. I by no means received to these final two initiatives (and I’m grateful for that now) earlier than we determined to show this complete space of our home right into a main bedroom suite. So for the final year-and-a-half or so, this lavatory has been on this in-between state. It has the brand new quartz countertop on the sink space, nevertheless it nonetheless has the wooden countertop (not seen on this picture) on the cupboard reverse the sink. I by no means put the bathe curtain again up, so there’s solely a bathe curtain liner. And I poached the resin artwork to make use of in my studio some time again. So whereas it’s not horrible, it hasn’t regarded completed in fairly a while now.

However once more, I’m glad that I didn’t waste my time ending up that room (and particularly putting in wallpaper) as a result of now the plan is to show this room right into a storage room. It’s going to most likely the the least thrilling mission I do that yr (with the potential exception of turning our ugly sunroom into a house health club), however it is a mission that I’m very enthusiastic about. I actually daydream about this storage closet.

Matt (my husband who has M.S.) has three items of apparatus that we use for his varied wants — an influence wheelchair, a bathe wheelchair, and a Hoyer raise. The complete time we’ve been in our home, we’ve by no means had a spot to retailer any of his gear when it’s not in use. The Hoyer raise is fairly massive, and when it’s not in use, it feels in the best way. The bathe wheelchair stays within the bathe, which feels intrusive when he’s not truly utilizing it. And when he’s not utilizing his wheelchair, it simply stays within the music room.

So the concept of getting an precise room to retailer these items of apparatus when he’s not utilizing them is extremely thrilling to me. I’ve dreamed of this for a very long time, and now it feels very shut and inside attain. So whereas I’m ending up the bed room, and passing by the hallway lavatory a number of instances a day, I’ve been imagining, dreaming, and planning simply how this storage room would look and performance.

It’s not a giant room, however I believe will probably be loads massive for all the pieces I would like in there. Along with storing his gear, I would like plenty of cabinets and common storage. Plus, our new sizzling water heater will go in there. I believe I’ve selected an electrical tankless sizzling water heater, so it would go on the wall to unlock flooring area.

However the different day, I had a thought. This room already has plumbing because it’s a rest room. So why not add a utility sink to the room as nicely? I believe it might actually be useful to have a utility sink, and this looks like the right place to place one. I think about one thing like this stainless-steel sink. This one is 20″ deep and 36″ vast.

I’m imagining that the room will probably be organized one thing like this…
