Moxie Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 the master bedroom sort of sucks. It is only 11x11 which is much smaller then our current bedroom and I want to buy a bigger bed. All of our current bedroom furniture wouldn't fit and the closet pretty much sucks too. It is the only bedroom with a bathroom which is why it is the master. So, today I have to decide if we deal with it or pass on an otherwise pretty good (not perfect but cheap enough that that is okay) house.

If not, would you be satisfied to call that your home? 3. Or, would you rather keep shopping around? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could build out on the other side, above the garage (I assume that would be expensive). It is a nice house in a nice area with a low price..so tempting except for the bedroom.

DawnM Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Is there another room that is larger? When we lived in Southern California, we didn't have a "master bathroom." We all shared. It was an older house, before a master bath was the norm. We were fine with it. I would be fine with not having a master bath again if it meant a bigger room.

We have a king sized bed with a large frame, and that is our issue. I say you move the master bedroom to the basement rec room! :D Also, we have looked into adding onto our house to accommodate an elderly relative. We ended up not doing it, but the contractors we spoke to said that it is easier and cheaper to build an entirely separate structure than to add on to an existing one. Food for thought...

Happy Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think it's easier to buy new furniture for a house than to buy a house to fit the furniture. If you have heirloom furniture ignore the above. Otherwise could a shopping trip to a furniture store make a big difference? The sucky closet makes me leary. I love a great closet.

ElizabethB Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 If you get over bed shelves instead of night stands, that will free up a lot of room. I would go to IKEA and the container store and look at options to go vertical and free up room in the bedroom. We have moved 8 times in the last 10 years. Small master bedrooms have not been a problem with creative furniture arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like are tiny bedroom (most of the time). It's even smaller than 10X11. We have two double beds in it. We use to have a King, but even without a bed frame we couldn't position the bed in anyway that would let us open and close the doors. (One to the hall, one to the roof - it use to be a patio but the previous owners removed the patio part so now it's just a door to a roof) Mind you I know dh, I know myself. We don't keep out room clean. So with less than a square meter of floor space even if we let the room get really really messy it's easy to clean quickly. And our closet is a joke. A total joke with it's size. I have never seen a smaller one with the exception of a broom closet. Sorry, I posted before getting to my point.

Guest submarines Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 How much time do you spend in your bedroom? If it is just for sleeping, then all you need is a larger bed, and you don't need as much furniture. If you use it as a relaxation space or office, then can you have this space in another room in the house? I actually prefer our master bedroom to be very small--a cozy little room where a large bed fits, and a couple of dressers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 The thing that worries me most isn't the size of the bedroom. It's your comment that it's "cheap enough that it's OK." It sounds like you're trying to talk yourself into buying a house that you don't really want. OK, so maybe it's a bargain price for the neighborhood, but that's not a good enough reason to buy a home. You'll be living there for years to come, and if you don't love it (or at least like it a lot) when you buy it, you will never be happy there. If you said, "Should we rent this house?" I would have said to go for it, but I wouldn't purchase a home that you're not excited about. The "bargain" price may not be anything to consider, anyway, because for all you know, the house could be worth a lot less in 6 months or a year. The housing market isn't exactly stable right now. If you said it was your dream house, I'd say you should buy it because you love it and even if the price drops a bit, you won't feel too badly about it, but if you don't love it, please don't settle.

Everything she said! Buying a house is a LOT of money and it being "okay" doesn't sound like something I'd want to drop a load of money on. I'd rather wait until I found something that I loved or at least really, really, really liked before spending that much. It's too much of an investment for it to be "okay." You should also think of resale value. You may plan on being there for the rest of your life, but you never know, and if you need to sell it, do you think it will be easy to find someone who won't mind an 11x11 master bedroom? That might make it difficult to sell if you need to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moxie Posted November 3, 2012 Author Share Posted November 3, 2012 Responding to some comments-- The master bedroom furniture is heirloom, we love it and it is really the only furniture we own that has any value. Our home is done in early-Target :lol:. When we made the list of what we want in a house, a bedroom that is bigger then what we have now was high on the list. We hang out in our room to hide from the kids! On the issue of the house just being "okay"--I'm trying to accept that the house I would love doesn't exist in our price range. This is the biggest, nicest house we have looked at and it is on the low side of our price range. I can't discount that fact. The house has everything else on our list of wants to some degree. It isn't perfect but I really don't think that the perfect house is out there. House value--does a 3 bedroom with an awesome master bedroom, bathroom and closet have more or less value then a 4 bedroom?? I need to consult some experts and see if there is even a way to combind two of the rooms (bathroom locations might make it difficult). If we can do that without spending a fortune, we might go for it. There is also the not small issue of selling the home we currently own :001_huh::001_huh::001_huh:.

I wouldn't even think about taking another bedroom for myself in your situation. Honestly, I think the house you're considering may not have enough bedrooms for your family. Are you planning to have any more kids in the future? If you are, be sure the house you buy can accommodate everyone comfortably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

staceyobu Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 We have a tiny master bedroom. With a super tiny closet. I have really learned to keep my wardrobe to a minimum. I would rather sacrifice master bedroom space than kitchen or living area or even kid bedroom space. All I do in my room is sleep and read in bed. I didn't like it when we first moved into the house, but it doesn't bother me at all now. So, I would still highly consider the house.

If you have furniture you like and don't want to replace, then you'll be very disappointed if it doesn't fit into the new bedroom. Also, if you need space to get away from the kids now and then, I would think the lack of this ability would begin to wear on everyone very quickly.

Susan C. Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Are you attached to the bedroom furniture? Would it work if you put a wall of cabinets in, and had drawers under your bed? And used small dressers for night stands? (This is coming from someone who doesn't like her bedroom furniture anyway, and has lived in places where the perfect house didn't exist).

WishboneDawn Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Just wondering, if the option is to make it a 3 bedroom anyway could you simply take one of the other bedrooms and make the master a den just for you and the DH to retreat to?

milovany Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 (edited) We have a teeny-tiny bedroom and I actually love it! Ours is probably smaller than 10x10. We have a queen bed in there and we each have either a side table or that small wooden shelving alongside the bed. That's it. You have to walk sideways to get past the end of the bed, LOL. I have my clothes (the ones I wear most) on hooks on the wall along the side of my bed with my smaller socks/underthings (ideally) in a basket under the shelving. The two things that make this work for us: there's an attached toilet/sink next to this room and there's a larger closet out the door the other way for the rest of our clothes (I hardly ever use it; I don't have a ton of clothes). Another plus is that it's at the far end the house away from the other bedrooms so it's very, very quiet. I love that it's cozy and comfy being the size it is. I love that it's small to keep clean.

AdventureMoms Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 My bedroom is 11x11 and I find it plenty big. My closet is laughable. I have a bookshelf and 3 dressers in here along with a queen sized bed (clothing for 4 since we took the dressers out of the twins' room due to the climbing hazard). DD's bedroom is 9x10 with an even smaller closet, and it still fits 2 bookshelves, a queen bed, an end table and a large dresser. Also, how big are the other bedrooms? How about taking a bedroom without an ensuite bath to get more space? We use the hall bathroom (only bathroom upstairs) and it's fine. That said we are "bedrooms are for sleeping" people, so we don't feel the need for spreading out space. I prefer more space in the living areas and less in the bedrooms.

eternalknot Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I think I'd rather replace/repurpose bedroom furniture than to settle on a lesser-ideal home. But I say this coming from the perspective that a bedroom is basically just that - where you sleep, where the bed is. I'm not into the "master retreat" thing, so if you are ... if that room is your personal hub in the home ... you'll never be content knowing you settled for one so small. Tough decision!

Mom in High Heels Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Large dressers make nice dining room buffets! I'm using one for that right now and it looks better in there than the bedroom! Yep! In our previous apt, I had the large dresser that had been in our bedroom (we got new furniture) in our dining area and used it as a buffet. I stored extra linens, holiday stuff, etc in the drawers. I loved it. In our current apt, it had to go to the basement as we had to put the piano in the dining room because we lost our 3rd bedroom (Han Solo eventually had to have his own room). I miss having the dresser. I considered getting rid of it, but I kept it because I'm hoping to use it as a buffet again in our next home. I think repurposing furniture, as long as you have space for he stuff that should go in it, is fine. Why buy a buffet when you can use a dresser you already own?

sbgrace Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Well, we moved into a home with a master that is less than 1/2 what our old home. I cannot fit all our previous bedroom furniture. We are putting the extra in the family room when we get that room done. I'd prefer a larger bedroom but it's for sleeping to me. The rest of the house matters a lot more.

LucyStoner Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 We moved from a place with a large master to a much smaller. We like having the bedroom simple and uncluttered. It's small but it is just the two of us in there and what do we do in our bedroom besides sleep and read? (Besides the obvious, lol). We have a double bed, a nightstand on one side and a shelf on the other. Across from the foot of the bed is a tall dresser we share and there is a small closet to the right of the bed. It works. We like it way more than our previous room, where we were prone to put more stuff there than we needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QueenCat Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 It really depends on your needs. I need a king to fit, and still be able to walk around three sides of it. If I have a big enough closet, I need less space for dressers in the actual room. I do need space (in the master) to put up the ironing board. Dh is not into dragging the iron room to other parts of the house.... he does more ironing than I do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our realtor received a call from the homeowner and she mentioned that she is an eager seller. Not sure what exactly that means. Guess we'll find out! If you put a contract on it, make sure to have a home inspection contingency. Don't even ask how I know this....:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abbeyej Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 A small master wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me. But then, lol, I have a small master and a teeny-tiny closet (we had to get custom hangers 'cause it isn't deep enough for normal ones), lol, and I've lived with it pretty happily for eight years now. Just being "small" wouldn't make me "hate" a master bedroom. You just might need to get a little creative and consider giving up some of your current bedroom furniture or finding other uses for it in the house and perhaps take over another closet in the house for some of your clothing storage needs, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
