My recommendation would be to add high windows in the separator wall for natural light in the bathroom.
There is some bot with your picture in the comments
I downloaded Upside, I hope it works!!!
❤
One thing you need to remember is that you are trying to build a home that is very funny joke for different generations and for a lot of people. The best thing about you is that you’re willing to change your designed to fit your family and this beautiful
My recommendation would be to add high windows in the separator wall for natural light in the bathroom.
Love this idea!
I totally agree. Finding ways to bring in natural light is essential where possible.
I agree. Or a frosted window
Great idea! I bet Megan can find a pretty stained glass piece because you don't want clear glass.
Or like a transom window above the door would be cool to help and wouldn’t necessarily need to be frosted.
I think having it centered would look best and really show off that masterpiece of a cabinet. They do make very slim baskets that you could use on the side if need be. It’s gonna look so beautiful once finished. Love that green!
I agree!!
You could even put out a slim wastebaket on each side. One for each sink.
Can’t imagine how busy you guys are trying to get things done at the house. But this once a week video upload is killing me. I check every day hoping a new video has been posted! It’s really starting to come together!!
I recommend adding a transom window over the separation wall. You can buy a piece of glass, stained glass, or reclaimed transom window to add light in the vanity area. I did this with an interior windowless room and it made all of the difference to that bedroom!
Love Eve's haircut! Please post a better pic of her with her new haircut.
Agree with this, too!!
Also- with the dark countertop and the white sinks.... I think you should use the hex white/black penny tile. It's genuinely such a cute design, and you should trust your instincts!
Personally I think it would look best centered. You could put very narrow trash cans or baskets for extra storage at the ends. Also, it might be a little difficult to open the cabinet door if you butt it up against the wall. Just my thoughts. It's looking good. ❤️
The vanity is a symmetrical piece so I suggest placing it in the center of the wall. You guys are killing it!
Center the vanity for sure. Even if the space on either side turns out to be unusable, the visual space will make the bathroom feel more open and clean.
I think the faucets and spout should be the color of the drawer pulls. Black will look weird with the delicate dresser. Place the sink unit centered from each wall.
Megan, your vanity mock up photo looks fabulous. I love how you remake things and give them a new life and how you mix vintage with modern. You are truly creative. And Mike... so proud of the wall/doorway you built - excellent work. You must feel great about how it turned out.
I am addicted to your cottage renovation again. I am relieved to hear you can rent your current home month to month. I was checking multiple times a day for updates on this cottage renovation this week. I realize it has to be tough to film while working. You two work so well together. All of your kids are enthusiastic helpers. They are learning so much through this process, too.
I LOVE your approach to this project. Optimizing spaces in small homes is totally my jam. You really can't get a more efficient main bathroom layout than what you're doing with the 2 sink vanity with a separate toilet/tub situation. It's what we did in our small house reno a few years ago - works great! God bless you and keep you, Knorpps!
Oh, I love it much better, watching you finding what you want within a certain amount of money. It’s the way real life usually is for most of us! I’m loving going to thrift stores with you & finding just the right things.
I totally agree, most of us are right there with you. You both are taking on challenges and doing great! Can’t wait to see what next week brings.
💯%!!
Center it..there all all kinds of littlextrash cans
Centering the pretty green chest gives it more balance and importance. It will look more spacious. Great job guys!!
also gives more space for you body standing in front of the the sink.
I vote to center the vanity. Use the side walls for hooks and bathrooms, etc. can hang down in that 6” space. Excited to see what you decide.
As someone who is extremely organized and lives in a tiny space (full-time RVers), breaking up any remaining space is a waste. If you place the vanity against the left wall, that should leave plenty of space on the right to put a slender cabinet, decor, or even shelves. A compact design (against the end wall) in an already small space is ideal. Looking the best and most functional are two different things for consideration. Centering in that small area is not thinking outside the box. Just my humble opinion!! Very excited for you all, and BRAVO for taking on this project yourselves! P.S. I most definitely agree with others about a window(s) for letting in natural light. Otherwise the overall feeling will be cave-like.
I think center the vanity but one question, why go with black faucets when you have those beautiful gold handles on the doors and drawers? They make beautiful gold or antique gold faucets that would match better.... in my little opinion. I can't wait to see it completed!
Love Eve's haircut she looks so adorable.
I love your style! It’s like a modern twist on 1960 throwback design and color palette. So neat!
The bathroom is going to be fabulous! Just thinking about the height of the vanity with sinks on top … could you cut an inch or two off the legs? Although a little still could easily be stored out of the way, underneath.
That’s the first time mike has smiled in a long time! So glad something worked for him!❤️
Like the two sinks the furniture is perfect for them . Each day you get closer to finishing your dream.
I vote for centering the cabinet, so you could have towel rings on both walls beside the cabinet. Great work!
Home Depot has mirrored medicine cabinets that look great. I recommend centering the vanity as you need 12 - 18 inches of elbow space to use a sink.
Nice work! I'd center it, the elbow space might be good when using the sinks. If it's too close to the wall it might get annoying. Plus, you might find some skinny trash can to still fit there.
I think you’ll want as much storage as you can get in there. How about pushing the vanity to the left wall and then building some narrow floor to ceiling shelves in the space to the right?
Don’t forget outlet en the vanity area for blower or whatever and I would put one in the toilet area as well. The vanity is going to look nice in the center and later you can add some custom cube in the wall for each kids have there own stuff. I can’t not wait to watch more and more videos. I was waiting long time to watch all this process and feel I don’t want to miss any inch of renovation. 🙌🙌🙌
Perhaps many have said it, but all of your woods don’t have to match, unless perhaps you enjoy it that way! Quite from Louis Interiors, “You don't have to match all the wood furniture in a room. In fact, your design may actually look much better if you throw away this old rule and go with pieces you love in the finishes you love. White and black walls and décor are often used to complement each other. No one would say you can't use them together.” GOD BLESS ALL YOUR HARD WORK GUYS!!!!
Love it! Center the vanity and put the trash in the toilet room since you'll need one in there anyway.
I was thinking the same.
This series of videos is very entertaining! I love watching it all come together for you guys!
We put the sink on top of an old cabinet and got glass cut for the top. It works very well
"you added a wall to the house, dad" love that 😊
Re vanity placement, if you install it to one side, Mike can add a shelf or two between the vanity and wall. I know hotels that don't have a vanity or very small space around the sink make doing hair and makeup very difficult. There's no such thing as too much space to use while getting ready.
I love your mock up of the bathroom! I hope you can actually find something very similar to the wallpaper on the app! Very beautiful!
I'm so excited to see the bathroom coming together!! I love it so far. Once the walls are drywalled, it will be easier to see your vision coming to life. That's what I love about owning a home...the freedom to just do ANYTHING your heart desires. Great work, Knorpps!!
i would centre the sink, so you will have the same elbow room on each sink, it's looking good though
You should use a frosted glass door between the tub area and vanity area to bring light from the window into the vanity area.
I already have upside for a few months and have gotten $30 back. You can use the app at fast food places as well.
Pull it to the left and possibly put cubbies to the right with a shelf for a trash can at the bottom.
I'm not sure how you look so calm. My anxiety has my heart racing as the days count down and seeing so many bare walls. Be safe and take care
After seeing the vanity Megan restored I want one like that in my bathroom. I really like all the drawer space.
You guys are awesome!! I would center the vanity and put towels on either side. I like adding the vessel sinks. I am so glad for the update. I check everyday to see what’s happening with the Knorpps ❤
I would slide the vaniety flush with the new wall side and do a floor to ceiling open shelving on the side nearest the original door opening. Can then use these cubbyholes for towels; small baskets to hide frequently used stuff, etc. I think people will not be so inclined to open lower dresser drawers to access toothbrushes. etc.
You only really need a tiny trashcan in the vanity side of the bathroom (can be put in one of the cubbyholes). The "main" garbage can really only needs to be near the toilet side.
I am probably the only person who loves LARGE mirrored medicine cabinets. There's so much storage in those cabinets.
I enjoy your renovation a lot and you can be very proud, that you make it all by yourself ❤️❤️❤️
Megan, you have such a good eye for color and form, whatever you choose will be perfect. Have a Blessed day.
I like Mike's idea of storage on either side of the sinks. I love the square sinks. It's going to look awesome
You should put a frosted window for light….not wielding…into the vanity area!! Center the Vanity!! You have slender trash bins and the bodies will not be slammed against the wall!!! The towels, etc will fit wonderfully with the vanity centered!!
My in-laws put a single sink, mirror, cabinet in each kids bedroom. Then the bathroom also had single sink.
when I renovated my bathrooms and kitchen, I put in wall mounted faucets. It makes it so much easier to keep the counter clean. No water and gunk build up around the deck mounted faucet.
You've been on my mind and I'm glad you're ok and moving along😊
I recommend doing built in shelving in the wall to take advantage of the space between the studs.
Move cabinet to left so u can put some shelves with baskets that hold kids bathroom necessities to the right, and trash can below. Centering may not give u enough room on either side to do anything with those small spaces. Just a thought.
Love your videos!
I like the vanity centered as well. Lots of room on both sides for hand towel hooks. The garbage can would be very helpful in the toilet area for feminine products.
It’s really coming together guys…..you should be so incredibly proud.
I love the bathroom design, Megan! So exciting!!!!
I would center the vanity as well. Maybe Mike can make a slim wooden garbage vessel that Megan could paint a nice colour. Just an idea to squeeze a custom trash can between the vanity and wall.
I think you should center it as you have to remember with two sinks you need to have some left elbow room. Also looks more cohesive when centered. Usually you don't need a waste basket in that room. Would use it more where the toilet paper rolls go. Happy renvovating
I absolutely love seeing your work renovating! Especially that you recycle materials, and previously used items. Your creativity is amazing and very admirable. Not only is this interesting, it teaches too. Thanks for sharing. I eagerly wait for each new instalment of your sweet dream cottage house build/reno! When I write you, I mean you both Megan and Mike 😄 you work well together and with the kids. A real “can do” family!
Please Center the cabinet. That would drive me crazy! Everything is coming along. Impressive guys!
It’s so exciting to see all the progress you guys are making! Y’all are very inspiring, thank you so much for filming your experience!
Regarding the vanity....if you place it further down toward the newly built wall, that gets the vanity away from the outer door. The person using the sink near the outer door would almost be in the hall otherwise. Pushing it all the way down would perhaps allow for a small storage cabinet or a shelving niche in the wall towards the hallway. It would also look centered if a cabinet was built. Love your pretty vanity! Working on a remodel as well in our life.
Have loved the green cabinet for the bathroom from the beginning! So glad it made the cut!
My suggestion would be to center the vanity and add recessed wall niches on both sides walls. Looking good!
I had to take a double take as I thought this was an old video because of Eve. I love her haircut but she looks so young. She is adorable!
The work is tedious and laborious but you guys are doing a great job. The end result will be amazing. And your kids will have learned some amazing skills.
Mike, you built a wall!!! That's awesome. You rock!
Eve's haircut is adorable! Loving watching everything come together and I am so glad you get to keep that dresser piece as your vanity.
Looking good!! That mock up is a winner. Centred chest would leave room for town rings on the side walls and a slim line bin as well.
I saw someone suggested high windows on the internal toilet wall for light.
Love watching your processes and progress.
Centre it for sure. Since the bathroom will have it’s own trash can, you won’t need any large waste basket in this room. If you decide to put wall mounted towel racks on each side it will also make more sense to have them equal distance from the sinks.
kudos on rehabbing so many things.... you are saving $ and saving the landfills!
Definatly have both door hinges on the same side. I would center the vanity, those sinks are close to the edge, if your washing your face you'll need a little elbow room.
I love all your ideas. You give me hope on my renovation. Never miss a video. Love to you both and your beautiful family.
You always make the home beautiful. It will work out in the end because you both pay great attention to detail. happy renovating! Can’t wait to see it completed!❤
Last time I watched was day 77 til move in. Now 27 days later ooooo a wall. And still micro-decisions about decorating a vanity. Where is the framing for the rest if the house, master BR foundation for the carport conversion?? Electrical and plumbing? At your current pace the house won't be done until six months from now unless you sub out 95% of your jobs. Good luck.
Although centering the buffet would be ideal, it seems like you would be passing up the perfect oportunity to build an open storage tower- floor to ceiling shelves that could hold baskets or rolled towels etc. In a small home every inch counts!!!
I've been watching a lot of renovation videos (chateaus) and a lot of them are getting most of their things from restores, flea markets, etc. They are getting things as inexpensively as possible and with your eclectic style this is right up your alley. You are so talented and when your home is done, it will truly be YOUR HOME, that YOU CREATED. I can't think of anything better.
I am really enjoying these videos. They are very real to life for more of us who can't afford to hire our renovations out and need to do things on tight budgets. I always get so frustrated when I see people who blog/vlog their fancy homes and everyone says "you have so much talent to put such a beautiful home together" when the truth is that a seemingly unending budget means there was no creativity involved. They just bought all the new fancy trendy things and now of course it's beautiful. Thank you for sharing the process
I also like the vanity centered. BUT...I'm wondering if it would function better all the way to the right? I lived in a one-bathroom house that had a double sink vanity with about 3 ft between the sinks. The mirror ran the whole length of the vanity making it easy for 3 of us girls to get ready in the mornings. We rarely used the sink that was closest to the door because you would be in the way of someone coming in or going out. One way to test the best spot for functionality in your bathroom, would be to have the kids pretend to go through their morning bathroom routines with the vanity at each of the different positions. It might not make a difference for your family, but it might be worth taking the time to test it.
Idk. I think you should look at this as a temporary cabinet. Down the line you’ll realize there isn’t room for the storage you need because the pipes will be taking up most of the cabinet space. You need storage for q tips, cotton balls, toothbrushes, floss packets, hair brushes and combs, hair gel, rubber bands and pins, bandaids, hairdryer, skin care, face wash, makeup remover, medicines, body lotion, face lotion, mouthwash, ibuprofen, antiseptics, neosporen, sunscreen, contact lenses, eye drops, shaving cream, razor, tweezers, nail clippers etc. You don’t want that sitting on shelves. It will look very messy. And what would be the point of renovating if things didn’t look nice and it’s not functional?
You’ll also want room for basic cleaning supplies as well. If you want the sink to not be messy with toothpaste and lotions, then you’ll need wipes or extra towels in the sink room to wipe up the sink. It wouldn’t be practical to keep them stored in the shower room storage area. You’ll need space somewhere in the sink room to put a tissue box as well. And you need separate towels to dry your face on after you wash it.
You renovated the bathroom in the first place because you wanted it to be more functional and have a separate room for the toilet and shower. You need the sink room to be functional as well, and also not look like a mess with about 20 different things on shelves.
We love to be on this part of your journey with you! I'm enjoying every second!
Also a frosted glass on the each side of the new door to help brighten the room up.
Once you have sheet rock on the walls in the bathroom, I don't know as if you would have a heck of a lot of room left on one side of the bathroom vanity if you had it bumped up against the wall. Leaving a bit of room on each side makes for a larger "working" space for each person standing and using the sinks. If its up against one wall, the person on that side may have to physically move over closer to the person at the other sink in order to not bump their arm against the wall as they're washing up. Maybe try having two people stand and mimic washing hands with the vanity against the wall and see if the wall crowds one of them. Also, it would be nice to have a bit of space on each side for the towel racks. I'm really enjoying watching you fix up this little house and can't wait to see it when it's done!
The vanity turned out beautifully.
The bathroom plan looks amazing. Keep up the hard work.
I love that you guys went with the above counter sink idea. I'm with Mike, I don't love them sitting on top of the counter, but for practicality & cost saving- yep, best option. Good choice.
The key to success on top sinks is proportional visibility.
When people buy the taller side walls of the sink...aka depth,
it often looks ridiculous.
I would use wall mount faucets.
Again, proportional.
Megan have you found Alexandra Gater on UA-cam yet?
She is a young Canadian based in Toronto who specializes in helping people with make overs. She and her team make over small spaces so that they work flow and look beautiful. Frequently using found items revamped to a new live and purpose. Her shows are fun bright and interesting.
Gold/Brass faucets would look great with the green! Love the vanity & double sinks, glad your keeping it!!!
If it was moved to one side there could be a tall narrow cabinate with shelves for the kids bathroom items. A waist basket underneath it and the side could still have a hook for a hand towel. Optimizing space and storage. Oh, yes. A window at the top of the divider wall for natural light. Could be frosted or stained glass.
Get yourself some resin to coat your vanity top. Totally waterproof! There are lost of you tube videos about resin. Used it in my laundry room to great success. Definietly shift the vanity and create a space for a trashcan.
Center it. On the left you can put some medicine cabinets that you can replace the front covers with some picture or paint something on it so it looks more you. I would put those wall hangers that hold 6 towels rolled up for the kids to use. If you're in the left mirror you'd want some arm space to get ready.
Leave room for a trash can and maybe a few shelves for bathroom supplies. The sinks look great! Y’all are doing great.
Two smaller mirrors, one above each sink, towel storage on the wall between the two mirrors. Vanity flush to the wall nearest the door coming into to bathroom, leaving room on right for a narrow custom built shelving area for more storage, including a trash area at the bottom.
Waiting with excitement for your next video. Keep up the good work. Blessings to you all.
Thank you!
Center the vanity and keep a trash basket under vanity? ❤ enjoy your guys channel! Been following for the past 3 years. 😊
In our bathroom there are two built in medicine cabinets at each end of the vanity on the wall. It’s really nice for storage. 😊
Helloo..
Love the cabinet, but would round the front corners on the cabinet top. Enjoy the journey!
I say push it up against the wall so you can put a waste bin or even a little shelf unit in that nook idk … thanks for sharing your life and remodel be well be blessed ❤
Love the sinks!!!! All the elements you are using are so you!! Don’t be afraid of rocking your personality and making the house so about you!!!
“If you can just choose whatever you want then it’s pretty easy to make it beautiful” you really hit the nail on the head. I dream of an hgtv life and am working with a budget more like the Simpson.
I would centre it. You can then fit towel rails each side for people using both sinks at the same time and they had enough space for towels to hang comput a little bin in the corner near the door. If you are going down the black taps route and black metal on the lights. Perhaps the handles on the sink unit could be sprayed black too? Another good idea (was it Andrews suggestion? Maybe put a little glass window on the wall where he suggested or put a pane of glass above the door or you could put frosted panes on the door (maybe a little arch of glass panes) to let in some natural light from the bath toilet room. Plus if the light was on, at least everyone would know whether it’s vacant or occupied, but they wouldn’t be able to see who is inside or what they’re doing if it’s got frosted glass. But letting light in was a super idea.
