We have had a house plan picked out for a while. I think I found it on Pinterest one time. I saved it and we just kept coming back to it. This is the original plan--upstairs and downstairs. We knew we wanted each kid to have their own bedroom and that we wanted an open concept living room and kitchen for entertaining. We loved the big porch as well.
This was a picture of the original plan outside.
There were definitely some changes we knew we wanted to make to it, though. Through his connections at work, Kris was able to get the name of an architect who we sent the original plans to. We told him the changes we wanted to make and also gave him liberty to make some. This was his initial drawings. We had told him we didn't want railings on the porch.
We also told him we did not want to have the open space above the kitchen. We would rather have the space upstairs. So, he turned it into an office space. Kris loved this! We also did not want a dining room in the front, so we changed it into a utility/laundry room. This will be a great space to come into the house with and will include a mudroom/cubby space as well.
There is tons of room and storage upstairs which we are excited about!
