Country Home

After creating all of these pretty mood boards through Pinterest reflecting what my dream Country Home would look like, it got me thinking about how I might want the floor plan of my future house to look like.  After thinking about it for a couple of months, I jotted down on a piece of paper on my flight to San Francisco this week.  Then, when I got home last night, I was determined to make a more user friendly version using Floorplanner.

This is what I came up with.  If you click here, you can go to the website to view both 2D & 3D versions, along with inspiration pictures uploaded from Pinterest.

Ok, so let me walk you through my dream home.  It's a 2800 sq. ft. 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom house with a library and a formal dining room.  When you first walk through the front door from the wraparound porch, the library will be to your left.  There will be floor-to-ceiling built in bookshelves, with plenty of room for Jason's record collection as well.  The dining room will be to your right, with a pass through to the kitchen.  If you walk to the kitchen from the dining room, there will be a side door to your right leading you to the two car garage and garden area.  The casual living room and kitchen (with a breakfast nook) are towards the back of the house, which will preferably look out over the nice pastures or perhaps a stream (yes, now we're just getting hopeful.)  During the winter, we will be able to enjoy the fireplace.  There is also a guest bath available on the first floor right behind the stairs. 

The second floor includes a master bedroom and bathroom, three guest bedrooms (for when our future kids and grandkids visit), another guest bathroom, and two storage closets in the hallway (one for linens and the other for a washer and dryer.)  The master bedroom will also have a fireplace.

So, I think it's pretty awesome.  Once again, I encourage you to view the web version for more detail.
