House Plans - Making It Our Own

 

Searching for the perfect house plan can become overwhelming.

We had a couple plans that we found in magazines...

we liked one thing on one plan and something else on another...

 

Then as you know we found the perfect piece of property.

The agent informed us that the owner said if we bought the property he would give us

the custom house plans he had designed.

 

 

Can I tell you it was one of those "meant to be" moments...

when she rolled out the plan ...

I was in love!

BUT...at 5698 total sq. feet,  it was NOT the "down size" we

were looking for.

 

 

We are making it our own. (Plan above)

We have used the basic plan, but have made modifications.

Ours will not have a fourth garage, nor the bonus room above the garage.

The office is going to be bigger and turned into my son's room.

 

 

 

I know it's really popular, but I just did not really care for the brick around the stove. 

 I am a messy cook and to me this looked like a cave. 

We actually had the plan finished, but when I took it to

the cabinet person I mention that I was not loving the kitchen layout and he showed me

that if I moved a wall and switched the fridge and double ovens it would create more room and I would have a walk thru butlers pantry...so back to the drawing board we went.

 

 

I can't wait to see how the changes are going to turn out.

The new plans should be ready this week.

The dirt work is complete and we passed the compaction test.

It's going to be exciting to share what the before & afters

of the kitchen with you,  I'd love to have your feedback.
