Allie the cost is right at 135/sqft. Not inclusive of the lot. High end finishes planned for the inside. White oak wide plank floors. 7". High end appliances Kohler farmhouse sink, large tile shower etc.....There will be some brick out front made to resemble a brick foundation not the 4 foot brick you see on a lot of homes. The siding alone was about 30k install included :( It is DiamondKote LP SmartSide. It does look soooo much better than vinyl though which is the norm around here in about 98% of new homes. The front and back porches, as well as the eyebrow, will be galvalume metal. Had to wait for siding to be done to install. cpartist- Yes they are ordered and finalized,. The cabinets are white Haas inset in the kitchen with full overlay gray stained island. White/gray full overlay elsewhere depending on the room. Cambria Ella quartz also.

I love black windows - i painted the bay window in my kitchen black when I couldn't afford the steel/bronzel windows I coveted. But having said that, if the windows are black OUTSIDE (mine are NOT), then they should be steel/bronze windows, not wannabes. Black steel/bronze windows and doors are very hot today on super-high end construction/remodeling. And they can be utterly stunning! There are problems with some, and one must be very careful when choosing them or they can be cold and drip constantly. But in the end, while a classic look found on many, many old buildings and houses, it is a "LOOK" today. And then came the wannabes! The price of steel/bronze widows is in the stratosphere. They're perfect for the backs of historic houses in the West Village or parts of Brooklyn where the cost of the house itself may be 8 figures! What's another half a million for windows! Heck, let's go for it, says the hedge fund manager. But when they appear in solid vinyl on subdivision houses, one knows this is probably a look that is going to die quickly as they just plain don't look right. Steel windows have very thin muntins (the strength of steel makes this possible). They are wonderful for allowing in light and not distracting from the view! But the wannabes are just like regular old windows with wider muntins. And it's a LOT of black! A historic house near my neighborhood did this with some very expensive wood windows. I drive by there multiple times each week and it just doesn't look right. It looks like they were trying to be "hip"..."trendy" and they ended up just looking sort of silly. This is a look that is going to severely date a house very quickly! And since they're not simply painted, it will be there for a long time and not easily changed. You are building a sort-of, inspired-by farmhouse, but your taste is more industrial modern for the interior. It's a look that I quite like, surprising as that may be to others on GW! But I would not try to mix the two on the outside. Go with white and white. That's what a traditional farmhouse actually has, unless it's an old creamy yellow one. You cannot go wrong with this. As for my bay window...I'm very happy I painted it black even though it's definitely a "wannabe"! I'm amazed how the muntins disappear and I see far more of my garden outside. But it can easily be white or any other color someone after me might want. And it's INSIDE.

And, because where you have farm houses, you have farm children, and therefore schools... Some one room schoolhouses from the same area This one has been purchases by the local hysterical, er, historical society. The plaque gives dates of establishment, when THIS building was erected, when it closed, etc. This one is the same brick style as many of the homes around it. The little "shed" entrance is a later (rather awful) addition. This one belongs to a local boy scout troop. Finally, this one was a private residence for a while. Then it was bought up by another local history group and restored pretty thoroughly:

Amanda, I am Neha from Styldod. Like all the others who have commented, I'd recommend a new couch for this space. The one you have is eating away a lot of space. Your options for furniture placement are rather limited. With 4 kids, no amount of storage is enough. A storage bench by the door and an end table with storage could help with clutter. I'd also recommend an ottoman as a coffee table so you can use it as seating if required. The shelf above the couch can be removed and you could make a gallery wall with paintings and pictures rather than having them hang everywhere. The images below are estimated to scale for your room based on the photos you shared, but it is very important that you share accurate measurements of your room. In this second design, I suggest a console at the entrance where a couple of low stools/ ottomans can be stored when not in use. You could do away with the kids' table and use these ottomans as seating for them. Also, a tall bookcase may be useful in a small space like this. Open cube storage is a great idea when you have kids running around. I would keep that nice armchair in the corner and would try to maximize the storage areas, so your kids have more room to play. Let me know if this helps. You can edit the 3D build I made to create your designs in interactive 3D here. you can view your designs in photo-real 3D here.
