Man that house has loads of wasted space. Their walk in closet and en-suite could have been so much smaller (and still plenty big enough) and they could have had space for another bedroom upstairs
Half the upstairs is their “suite”. Even the kids bathroom (for 7 kids!) is so incredibly tiny. They really could have done with another bathroom. Also downstairs for tommy and caden a full bath, even just with a toilet, vanity and shower.
The space by the garage that won’t get used for shoes and jackets cos their garage doesnt get used for cars. Even mimi’s suite is poorly designed. No microwave, fridge or oven? Or room for them. Or a dishwasher drawer. And the weird over head cupboards at different heights over the sink - is she gonna bash her head when she does dishes?
They’d have been far better off not building a spec house and actually working with an architect to design and draw something that works for them. No amount of bedrooms or bathrooms is going to be enough. But designing a house with jack n jill bathrooms between kids bedrooms would have been a far better option.
Where there dining table is going id have assumed that should have been reversed with the “lounge” a tiny living space downstairs at the end of a kitchen. Its weird. Loads of wasted living space with the “study” - shouldn’t that be a formal dining area or even just the dining area to allow for two living areas off the kitchen?
I dunno the whole layout is off.
