The up stairs go only to the master bedroom. We have an elevator that only I use, because of my health. I feel the stairs steal too much space from the living room and the kitchen. We are empty nesters, and my husbands office, the guest bedroom, and the largest room we converted to what we call the cabana room opens to the swimming pool, the out door seating, eating and barbaque areas. We also installed a kitchen in the cabana room, so no one has to use the kitchen on the main floor. Any suggestions?
