Yes, there is definitely still plenty of budget available retrospectively. I also like the conservatory, I would attach it at the kitchen exit,
I can gladly take pictures and upload them. The grouper turned out pretty good after all.But we still don’t have any pictures of that to this day.
The other participants mainly have their own life experience in their toolbox—and no crystal ball in which yours can be seen. For me, the foundation of the day is that it starts well; in that respect, the navel of my planning world is, so to speak, my bathroom window. Here in my mental cinema, I sit next to Yvonne and see a homeowner of the "chilling pasha" kind—because I also consider it a misjudgment that only 1% of the spouse’s leisure time in a living room considered the center of the universe is spent on laundry logistics. So, do you now think we owe you a misdimensioned sliding door?Unfortunately, as a "home planner," one is usually overwhelmed by many things, [...] imagining and simulating all kinds of scenarios. [...] And it's precisely these small details like the width of the sliding door in our case that later determine how comfortably one can live in a house. [...] because you spend 99% of your active time in the living room. The planning effort should then also go 99% there.
A piano, a piano!—Our thanks for early information about this would certainly have been heard by Mother all the way to Massachusetts.Nothing about a piano is mentioned in your introductory post, nor is anything of it visible. We only found out about it when the house was already built. So you can keep the black Peter.
Occupational medicine shows a clear connection between oversized lounging in retirement and becoming decrepit. At least then you should personally clean your conservatory, and then minimizing dirt ingress will become even more important to you than not scraping the piano with your paunch. Men, tsk...There is, after all, a time after the children; as a retiree, you surely spend much more time in the living room—and then you would be happy about a nice layout.
Attached is a picture of the dining table situation: Here the table is still too far to the left, but this way you can conveniently reach the sliding door. If it gets longer, it has to move further to the right (at least 40-50 cm) so that you can still easily get through the kitchen entrance, otherwise it would be blocked. So comfortable and "open" is something else. Maybe a round table actually makes more sense, or a rather short one that can be extended a lot.IAber dazu haben wir ja bis heute keine Bilder. Und das Tischlein ist auch nicht das, was Ihr habt, oder? Sieht aus, wie das Puppenmöbel vom Bauzeichner.
You definitely wanted the windows stacked... and to make the living room smaller... I have to admit, it’s not my style. But I’m not planning for myself, but for the OP, and you already had the preliminary draft from the planner. The dimensions were set insofar as you only wanted to spend 200,000 on the house. I interfere little with windows and external dimensions, especially when it’s clear that the 150s are desired or the window sills… to me, narrow sills are fine and good for privacy, e.g. on the upper floor. And the external dimensions reflect the house price. With money, a lot can be achieved. I would say you’ve fully exhausted the 200,000... or how much did it end up being? That would also be interesting. If you had increased by one meter, maybe 20-30,000 would have been added. I think a lot has surely turned out great that you don’t even notice now. But what if the hallway and utility room didn’t work??? As the saying goes: the first house for the enemy, the second for the friend, and the third for yourself then.The window situation in the living area can be seen in the next picture. Here I find that the windows look quite lost and perhaps should have been arranged differently/larger. Especially above the sofa it seems a bit small.
