Anyone here have any creative ideas on how to move around the walls in my condo to convert into a 2B1B? The unit is 1100 sqft

If you’re able to move walls, seems like you could shrink the existing bedroom a bit and either put another one next to it or extend office into a bigger space. But can’t see a way around making the kitchen/living space less open.

It would be expensive, but I'd move the kitchen to the corner, make L shaped so some cabinets are on the 2 walls, then make the current kitchen without the island the dining area. Put the new bedroom adjacent to the exiting one. If you can deal with slightly smaller bedroom put closet for new bedroom in the saved space. Making the bedroom roughly 20" narrower could add a closet in bedroom and give a closet to new room. Also creates a noise barrier between bedrooms.

Wall off the dining area and convert it to a room.

In Seattle there are plenty of “urban” bedrooms with no windows, just a sliding door. Could make this a den/office that doubles as guest room

You could do this . This is professional design at no cost to you;

B1 without closet and B2 without Windows will likely mean they don’t count as bed rooms when selling.

See if this works - maybe too much to move though - plumbing, water lines, etc.

I think this one is the best so far, but it makes the bathroom weirdly in the kitchen. Maybe unavoidable but a little odd to me.

You’re basically building a whole knew house at this point, but if you could flip the bathroom and study in this design, I think that’d be your ideal. Could have it with a door to the living space and a door to bedroom 2 to make bedroom 2 a master suite.

That "office" is criminal. Even worse than a cubical in an office that hadn't been renovated since the 80s

Then no windows in living room/kitchen. Dark

I would do this since everyone wants windows in the bedroom, kind of sucks to close off the kitchen but I’d probably knock down the office wall and make more space for the kitchen that way.

This makes sense to me. Just a few walls and a door. Window is already in place.

If this is for a baby, it can share your room for a year. Find a new place in the meantime.

I can have it mocked up and sent over to you. Will need some further details though.

Details just like that. DM me and I can have something mocked up and sent over.

Not sure if you can do this, but shift the kitchen to the right, wall of second bedroom so the two beds share a wall, right most wall of second bed ends half way in the current living area, where the kitchen is becomes living area (no window) or dining area and the second half of current living area becomes either small living space or new dining. You can use the right most wall to place the fridge and open up the space

I would get rid of the office. Move the kitchen to the dining room area. Put a bedroom in the top left corner. Use the kitchen as an open dining room. And add a W/D.

Is the square next to the bedroom a walk-in closet?

Large second bedroom where the dining area and living room area in front of it now are. Could even make it the master and put a large bathroom where the dining area now is. If you want a bigger kitchen, expand it into the office. If you want a bigger living/dining room, narrow the existing bedroom to where the non-walk-in closet door now is and perhaps get rid of the kitchen island

Why not take half the living room? Put the 2nd bedroom next to the first one expanding into the living room?

Are you creating a new room for the kids? If so, you don't need to worry about closet space that much

Move.

Bunk beds?

Here’s my thoughts…. Splitting that bedroom into 2 smaller ones (the interior one would have space above the wall to make it legal with no window).

Then move the fridge/pantry to make the kitchen all on one wall and have it completely open between the kitchen and living room (also add a nice island in there)

Nope I would hate this setup, would prefer it just be a 1BR

Have you ever had a recruiter call, and ask you all these questions like a half interview even. And then go ahead and make a post of all the things you said you work on, the requested salary and benefits and also specific details about location and type of profile i was looking for? The linkdin post was made like an hour after the call. Like it was freakishly matching.

I felt dirty and used. Has this happened to anyone? How do you react?
