Maine house........more edits

It always bothers me when the only guest bathroom available is located inside another bedroom.  I know if I'm company I'd be a bit weirded out if I were staying at someone's home and they had a friend come over who needed to use a bathroom and to get to it they walked through the bedroom I"m staying in.  My husband is sick and because of it he sleeps a lot.  What if we were staying with someone and he was napping and their company needed to use the bathroom?

Anytime I'm looking at our floor plans I always try to put myself in the house and in several different situations to make sure the plan actually works in real life.  Because of that I didn't think this plan worked.  If it had a half bath some place on the same floor that would be a different story.  So I decided to fix it.

By removing the closet by the fireplace and relocating the water heater to the guest bath, I was able to use the old closet as the door way into the guest bath.  I relocated pretty much everything except the sink, which was scaled back to a smaller sink making room for the water heater by it.

The other option is to put the water heater in the pantry.  I'm not a big fan of a water heater sitting next to my canned goods, so for me the heater in the bathroom, while it means putting in a false linen closet which I don't like, actually worked better.

I also removed the side lights from each of the entry / exit double french doors.  I'm planning on doors with large glass inserts so the side lights aren't really needed.  It also freed up space where the stairs are to the loft.

Master bath lost a sink, but given that there truly won't be much company there and we'll only be in the house a few months of the year, I don't see a single sink in the master as a huge issue for us.  Most likely when we don't have company, one of us will use the master and the other will use the guest bath.  I also expanded the closets in the master bedroom.  The plan, for us anyway, works much better this way.

I also cleaned up the outside of the photo.  It originally was meant to be a four bedroom two bath floor plan and each of the bedrooms had french doors leading to the porches.  Cute, but the new design eliminated both of the front french doors, although in the photo they still remained.  It also had the center of the house on the main floor with just a set of windows.  So the windows were moved to the sides where the bedrooms are and the french doors relocated in the center of the house where they belong.  Now it's a more accurate representation of what the house will truly look like.
