I still occasionally troll around for building plans, dreaming of the day I can build a home that's exactly how I want it. The trouble is, most internet sites only let you search by the most basic criteria: Square footage, number of bedrooms, baths, and garage. Look for an advanced search feature and all you're likely to find is another option for width and depth and available foundation type. Not helpful.
But last night I hit the jackpot! A building plans site that lets you search by all sorts of detailed criteria, like whether you'd like a family room or a screened-in porch or a Jack-and-Jill bath or a kitchen island. So many choices! Now I don't have to wade through tons of plans, find one that looks great from the outside, only to discover it doesn't meet my criteria for both a family room and a living room on the inside!
Hooray for Houseplans.com! I'll post some of my favorites for comment (that means you, Becca -- and anyone else, of course) in a while when I've got some time. :-)

Oh Poop! You know I am completely in lust with houses myself (I would love to own real property someday) and now I've just spent all afternoon ogling porches and gazebos and lovely craftsman and cottagey houses.
*SIGH*
I must know which are your favorites...I found a gorgeous country one with a gazebo on the wrap-around porch out front...very southern. Do dish!
Did you see this one? I cannot even begin to express to you how much fun I'd have with such an oddly shaped master bedroom. What character! What charm! What a lovely porch!
I didn't put any of the fancy-dancier ones that I like in my other post, because I'm trying to be somewhat realistic as to what would actually *work* in Malad, kwim? Like there was one mediterranean style one I thought was gorgeous (can't find it now) -- but that would look out of place in SE Idaho, lol. And as much as I'd love a Southern-style screened in porch, how would that work in an Idaho winter?? Probably it wouldn't. So I drool over those and move on.
*Sigh!*
Isn't this fun, though? I love all these options! YAY!
