To the left of the kitchen, where it says “laundry,” that will actually be a mudroom/laundry hybrid. It’s quite possible that the giant window over that sink is my favorite thing in the entire house. In case you can’t tell, the range is on the left wall of the kitchen, and the sink faces out the back of the house up the tree-lined hill. Our current island is approximately six feet long, and we take up every spare inch of it already, so we’re trying to plan ahead for future kiddos/visitors. We’ll have a dining table that seats 12 or more (Shaun will build it, of course), and a 12 foot island. Which, in turn, is open to the dining room. Which, in turn, is completely open to the kitchen. To that end, there’s not much of an entryway–just a little piano nook + closet area before it opens directly into the living room. So! One of the main things we wanted was a super open feel when you first walk in. It’s a bit hard to see in such miniature proportions, but this is as big I could make it and fit it all in. So, without further ado, this is our 1st floor:ĭid you grab your magnifying glass yet? I know. This go-round, though, we have the current plans easily available, and I’ve had so many people ask that I thought I’d give you a little peek at the way we’ve chosen to lay out our rooms. Well, we built our first house 8 years ago, using a house-building program that doesn’t exist anymore, and–honestly–the chances that anyone was going to follow our plans to the letter, or even that closely, were fairly slim, so the answer was always, “Sorry, but no.” I get lots of emails about “ how to build a house from scratch,” and one of the #1 questions I get asked is: “Will you share your house plans/layout?”
