okay so my poblem is that the top floor of my house has very very low vaulted ceilings. the master bedroom takes up the front half of the top floor so it has two vaulted sections. the back of the top floor consists of smaller room and 4 piece washroom. now the ceiling in the secod bedroom isnt much different then the master but the bathroom is even lower... there's no closets and not a whole lot of walking room. well without wacking your head on something. so if anyone has any ideas on to to go about creating more space up there i would greatly appreciate that. :wall:

Welcome to the forums!
Assuming there is no attic space above the slanted ceiling, there isn't much you can do unless you tear off and raise the roof. Placing furniture so you are forced to walk where you have head room is about the only option that doesn't involve major $s:eek:
It might be feasable to add dormers which would open the rooms up some.
