[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Imagine that you are building a small new home in a close in neighborhood where small homes and small bedrooms are common.  Imagine that a potential plan calls for 3 good-sized bedrooms (and 2 bathrooms) upstairs, including a large master bedroom and a sitting room, but that you could make some minor changes and keep the 3 bd while adding a small 4th bedroom -- 8x13 -- while getting rid of the sitting room.  Given that you already have 3 beds, would including such a small 4 bd be a plus? Neutral? Or a minus?

The basement would have an additional guest bedroom at some point in the future.[/quote]

8 x 13 is fine.  Cut square footage off an adjoining kids bedroom for generous closets.  Use a dresser and a small desk as night tables just the small dresser.  Since this room was the master sitting room there is no reason you couldn't also use it as a sitting room or office.  We had such a room and preferred that to the master sitting room we have now.  Close the door and shut off the office mess.  I'd like to frame out a WIC for DH and put a window in his current WIC with a full door so all work and other docs are in a room with a door.

The master sitting room then will look great.  In our smaller house with the small room we had a door to the hall and the master bedroom.  If you have 5 people [2 adults and 3 kids] that can be very useful since they will traipse thru your room to use it anyway.  [/quote]
