We got the first copy of the blueprints to go over! So exciting!<\/p>\n

This is the elevations, the plans for what the outside of the cabin will look like.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The windows don\u2019t line up<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The first thing that jumps out at me is that the windows don\u2019t line up.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Loft Section
First Copy of the Blueprints<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is why. The loft over the laundry room and bathroom lowers the ceiling, so there isn\u2019t enough room for the window. There are two options, a smaller window or raise the ceiling.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
14\u00d712 Bedroom
First Copy of the Blueprints<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is the bedroom. It is 14\u2032 x 12\u2032. That\u2019s not small, but these doors look like they really eat into the usable space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Bifold Closet Doors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This is a photo of the bedroom with the bifold closet doors.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Double Out-swing Closet Doors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Out-swing doors will take up even more space.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Barn Style Closet Doors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Barn style doors take space too, just on the sides instead of in the front. And they have a lot of personality.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Bypass Closet Doors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
Bypass Closet Doors<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Perfect! There is only access to one side at a time, but they don\u2019t swing into the room or take up any wall space at all.<\/p>\n

The cabin is from Westwood Cabins<\/strong>. You can see more photos and floor plans at www.westwoodcabins.com<\/a> and www.facebook.com\/westwoodcabins<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
