Vaulted Ceiling continued!

When we last met, I was undertaking sliding a 2nd floor into a vaulted ceiling space of a development home. What with everyones schedules, things are taking longer than expected, but so far we have nailed down a plan.

On the first floor, we are removing the stairway, and running the lower wall all the way up.  On the first floor, the extra room from the stair is being put into the exisitng pantry/laundry/office to create a kids homework/craft/wash-the-dog and pay-the-bills office space.

We are putting in a shed dormer (wide flat roof) to gain a full floor headroom on the 2nd floor. This has let us put in a regular bedroom and a skinnier one that will likely get used for a small den, office or baby's room.

Because the owner also wants to move the laundry upstairs and add a bath for the kids, we are stealing room from the old humongous master bath and creating a new kids bath and separate laundry room. The new master bath still has a generous layout, but is a bit more reasonable and has less wasted space. Taking room from the attic for a linen closet brings it all together.
