Powder Room Anyone?

Just starting...

Making our home a bit more functional while maintaining and / or restoring as much character as possible is important to us.  So our first major functionality decision is to add a powder room to the main floor of the house.  The only logical / practical location was in the front entry.  There's a house in Garneau that has a similar lay out and provided us with a little inspiration.  Although, as I've mentioned before just measuring out space and going for it is not really our style.  So, one evening after we cycled through our same set questions:

• Is there enough room for a small closet?
• Toilet on the North or South Side?
• Is this enough space?
• Will it be too squishy?
• Will the entry way feel too small?
• Will we wish we hadn't built this?
• Should we center the window and make it longer or does added length just equal more wasted space?

We got in the car and headed to Home Depot, then Rona, then google, then Home Depot and then back to Rona to purchase the pedestal vanity and toilet that we had decided on.  We got them home and built ourselves a faux bathroom out of poly.  We left this up for about 3 weeks to sort of get a feel for it.

In progress... Just like many projects at the moment!

Once we had made our decision official  we began the framing process.  As this was our first time framing we appreciate the framing lessons and advice from my dad, brother, J, and YouTube.
