I would have it open the opposite of what is shown.

Swing the other way. Do you really need 2 pocket doors on the powder room? Pocket doors generally stay in the open position. I think you might live to regret this.

I added a second picture so the entire floor can be viewed. This is the main entrance, but it is at the back of the house as the lake is on the opposite side. The mudroom can be accessed via the main entrance at the back or a side entrance off the deck which leads to thw lake. the two pockets in the bathroom accommodate access from the main living area as well as a quick access from outside.

I have never met a pocket door that closes securely ... and you have two in the powder room. I hope your family is really close, because you are all going to see each other sitting on that toilet at some point in time!

I would shift the front door down just a bit, so the wall for the mudroom bench lines up with the powder room wall.

I'm not a pro but going out on a limb anyway and saying not to change the swing. First, I wouldn't want to cover the light switches with the open door. Second, I think the reveal of the view through the DR and out to the windows will be better with the swing as is. Hoping one of our architects can chime in.

Haha! Good point!

Those walls were lined up originally, but the entry felt a little cramped so we slid the powder room down into the laundryroom where there was a bit of extra space.

Leave it as is. When people come in, you don’t want them looking into your bedroom, and you certainly want to easily reach the light switches. It also gives them more room, because if it is hinged on the ither side, they walk in and have the stairs on one side and the door on the other, kknd of blocking them.

Leave the powder room where it is, just move the front door down a bit.

What’s a Yooper Laundry? Is that a Michigan thing? I’m intrigued!

It’s basically a mudroom . This home and our builder are in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and thats what he calls it. :)

Your foyer is not wide enough for a front door with two sidelights.

Mark Bischak, thank you. In your opinion, would it be wide enough for two sidelights if we took some space off of the benches and aligned the bench wall and the wallway wall?

Keep it the way it is now. More room to bring in items.

Have you considered switching dining room wih kitchen?

Having to go thru the dining room to get to kitchen from deck?

There are a lot of improvements that could be made to the layout. Consider starting a new discussion asking for constructive criticism on the entire design, but as always . . .

WARNING: Posting your entire floor plan opens you up to facts you may not want to know, but should. Be prepared for suggestions that will make for a better design. Keep a thick skin, open mind, sense of humor, and a glass of wine within arms reach. You may not enjoy it, but everyone else will and you will be better off in the long run if you heed well the advice.

I'm in Florida -- so immediately thought to have it open out onto the porch. Depends on snowfall in your area.

Agree with Mark on the door, and the new thread asking for a plan review.

Kitchen could use a rethink. Big island to walk around.

Might change the great room so furniture goes mostly by the fireplace leaving a clear path to the outside. And one door facing the bench into the bath.

Is this a seasonal/vacation home or a full time residence?

Agree with Mark--change the swing of the two door to what is shown in his sketch. FWIW, there will likely be no electrical switches or outlets in the wall in the master bath where the slider is located. Probably not possible to locate recessed boxes in that wall for any wall switches and/or outlets. The electrician will probably locate any desired switches and outlets in the wall opposite the slider.

Using @PPF.'s as a starting point, I would do this to the Powder as someone else mentioned, putting the "Pooper" into the "Yooper." Also, is your "Yooper" strictly functional, or can the front wall contribute to the curb appeal of the elevation?

100% switch the door swing and move any light switches that may then be blocked. Also agree on the powder bath. I wouldn’t be comfortable using that bathroom with two pocket doors if I was a guest

Thank you all! I will start another thread asking for a plan review along with information as to why some aspects are they way they are. i will heed your advice to slide the entryway door down a bit and swing the door left, as well as to go with only one, inswing door into the powder room. (i was thinkjng of ease of access rather than privacy! lol!) I appreciate the input!
