Sounds like you and your hubby are working it through. Can't wait to see the outcome. When I was looking for my current residence I wanted what would amount to two master bedrooms. Believe it or not, they do build houses like that. Well no luck, so I ended up using two small bedrooms for my sewing and computer room. They are just accross a very small hall so no great distance between them. Supprisingly I have come to really like the set up. The rooms seem far less cluttered then they would be if everything was in the same room, now I wouldn't change to a larger room, with the same square footage even if I could. Good luck with your project.
