The Plan

Here is what Will and I have come up with for the attic plan. It is based on what an architect did for us a while back. Remember, this is on the roof line, so we have some funky ceiling angles, which are represented as the black dashed lines. There is only a small section that has proper 7 foot ceiling height: in the middle of the bedroom, and where the new dormer is (including the bathroom).

The blue dashed lines are the windows.

The dotted lines are doors--red for regular doors and brown for access panel doors (usually opening onto a yellow colored space).

In the bedroom: The storage trunk and storage drawers in the bedroom will be under shelves. The dashed-dot-dashed line coming off the stairs is a banister or half wall.

In the bathroom: The blue diagonal line in the shower is a bench. Also, in between the windows and vanity will be some shelves.

In the closet: "Shoes" is on a section that is slanted, so we can build shelves on that angle--where the stairs leading to nowhere once were. We will also have to cover the front windows and use that space for hanging clothes. It is a shame to block the windows, but that is the only way to maximize the space with such awkward ceiling angles.
