Oooh, and this one!

LOL, somebody make me stop!

Check out the laundry chute and the study on this one! How fun is that?

Victorian house plan 315-103 from Houseplans.com

That's all for today, I promise. ;-)

~B. said...: OK, here we go! This one looks pretty functional to me. Good sized rooms, you know, not too small. But for sure you will need that second garage.

The WIC's are nice, but I think you might want the 4 bedroom option instead (and the rooms are still decent sized, not too small with the 4 bdrm option. The 4th bdrm is the smallest is probably close to the same size as the one you had when you lived with me).

Also, a study is a nice thing to have so the kids can do their homework, but do you really want them traipsing through your bedroom all the time to get there?

You might want to turn the dining room into a multi-purpose room. One that can be dining room when you want it, but mostly a homework space otherwise. Consider lining the walls with bookcases. I've got some pictures somewhere of a dining room/library room that are gorgeous!

Then maybe the official study could be dh's if he needs for all his doctory stuff? Or just turn it into an observatory! Now that's MY dreamhouse! One with an observatory for amateur astronomy!!!

Ok, off to look at the next ones!; January 31, 2006 10:28 AM

The biggest plus is that the entrance flows into the Family Room and not the dining room. That's one big pet peeve I have about most house designs, is that the front hall or foyer goes into the dining room...how boring is that? No one wants to look at your matching table and chairs when they come in to visit. Not that you couldn't turn the dining room into a sitting room or something, but they make the other rooms cozy on purpose for hanging out.

That's just my two cents. :); January 31, 2006 10:51 AM
