Review of current house plan, please.
Comments (5)Welcome, Kattle32 & congratulations on your new build!! We are located just south of you in Randolph county & we used Interlandi for our houseplans too--aren't Sal & Ryan great?!? They are so talented at making the space as efficient as possible while incorporating your unique wants & desires. Which lake are you building on? We have so many pretty ones in GSO! Which builders are you interviewing? (You can answer that one via email if you like--just click on my username). I can give you a good referral to who we used if you like as well--on-time, quick build, very reasonable pricing (his standard pricing includes what most of the others builders consider upgrades), low overhead, pays his suppliers on time and his subs weekly, awesome subs, quality work & materials. Just let me know. Enough on all the details, let's get to the plan... I really like your plan--it's quite unique with the 2 story angled garage. Unfortunately,I can't tell much about room dimensions and such as the print is way too small in the pics (click the link below to see how to post pics through a free online photo service like photobucket which will allow us to view larger images). I'm guessing Interlandi has provided you with preliminaries in .PDF format, if so then you can export them to a jpeg file and upload to photobucket for posting. If you could reattach them that way, I could maybe suggest more. From what I can see of your plan, there is very litlte I would change: -Master toilet closet needs outswing door for safety reasons (if someone were to pass out in there and need assistance, their body would block the door and EMTs would lose precious minutes trying to get in) -I would move the laundry sink to the corner if possible. Our laundry had a similar setup and we moved the sink to the corner as it was just a more efficient use of the space and allowed greater storage options. The corner space goes back so far that you really can't use it all, so moving the sink there makes a lot of sense. -Post the kitchen layout in the 'Kitchen' forum for detailed feedback -I would slide the kitchen sink (and the windows) just a little to the left to allow more elbow room when working at the sink. Looking at the exterior elevation, this shouldn't be a problem visually. -Upstairs, I really don't see much I would change other than possibly adding a door to the back corner bedroom to access the bathroom direct. It would be nice, but having 3 doors set on that wall might not be worth the tradeoff. I really like all the walk-in closets! Have you mocked up any to-scale furniture placement in the rooms to make sure everything fits, there is plenty of room for walkway clearances around the furniture and the room still feels a comfortable size? A definite must before you build. Hope this helps! Here is a link that might be useful: Posting Pics Thru Photobucket...See MoreIT WORKED!! Photos of Current Kitchen and New Plans
Comments (4)You have no idea how excited I am about figuring out how to post photos. I feel like when my son would get a new Lego! The hutch means 'love' to me. It took years to find it and I can only imagine how much history and stories come with it. Almost everything displayed on each shelf is new but look on the bottom shelf - I know it's hard to see but the plate shows a scene of 2 deer - a buck and a doe. It belonged to my great-grandmother. My grandmother gave it to me at my wedding. I was told that 'Bubbie' brought it over from Russia. Her mother had given it to her as a wedding gift. It survived a trans-Atlantic crossing, Ellis Island, and now it's in my house. Do you see the spice tins? Montco, Ann Page, and Durkee metal tins that I inherited from my mother-in-law. My sister-in-law took the Waterford, I wanted the tins! They're from the 1940's and 50's. The pumpkin pie spice says 27cents on it! I just opened then and believe it or not the cinnamon and pp spice still smell fresh!...See Morecurrent kitchen plans need revamped for new cabinet layout
Comments (2)Your plans are very difficult to understand. Can you do plans that are a bit more readable? If you're putting measurements in like in your floor plan, please put lines from where that measurement starts and ends. Without that, we're guessing....See MoreShould I move the kitchen or bathroom? Or try to work with what I have
Comments (3)I have a washing machine in my kitchen area and HATE IT! I see in your option 3 you have the stacked washer and dryer in your eating nook. In my household there are always laundry baskets that have to be stored somewhere (which takes up space in an already small kitchen). Just something to think about. Also, is there a reason you need a bathtub on the main floor? If you could get rid of it you'd have alot more space because you wouldn't need such a huge bathroom....See Moresmh225
