My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

      Yes it looks like a great start, What is going in front of the new window?

      A murphy bed will go on the wall to the left of the window. I hope to use this room as a home gym and dance/yoga area so I want to keep the furniture to a minimum and will be installing wood floors. I expect that some day I will not be able to get up the stairs and will try to make the bed room & bath a universal design as possible.

      You can get very nice looking murphy beds to match your style and look to the room. Have you looked into these? There is a lot of great choices on Houzz! Your area can hopefully supply what you need. Look into different looks and styles for the look needed.

      We will be building the murphy bed cabinet ourselves. I'm planning on a white flat panel shaker style for it and the bathroom vanity. Here are photos of some cherry ones we made for the master bath a few years ago.

      Great start! Looking forward in seeing the finished living space!

      Am bookmarking this, so fun to watch your progress. I, too, have an extra room that serves as my exercise room and guest room when needed. Murphy bed is a great way to go. Good luck, best wishes on your endeavors.
