AVERY’S PLAN REVIEW 🏡
OK, this one has A LOT going for it.
What I LOVE:
• The entry creates a true foyer AND gives you a great coat closet. You know I love a real entrance.
• It’s open concept, but the dining room gives some separation between the kitchen and living room. Translation: the TV doesn’t have to be blaring directly at Mom (or Dad 😂) while dinner is being made.
• The cathedral ceiling in the living room gives even more visual separation and makes that space feel special.
• LOVE the size of the island, and I really like having the sink on the rear wall instead of in the island.
• The rear entry is really well thought out.
What I’d change:
• Grow the garage. Obviously. 😂
• I don’t think I need two entrances into the laundry room. Cool in theory, but I’d rather have more cabinetry, countertop for folding and hanging space.
• I really think this house needs a half bath near the rear entry.
• Those 10' x 10' bedrooms are SMALL. For full time kids, I’d want to look at growing them. For occasional guest rooms or grandkids, I think they’re doable.
• I’m not totally sold on the exterior as shown, BUT give me this floor plan with a more modern cottage exterior and now we’re talking.
Overall, I REALLY like this one. The layout gives you openness without everything feeling like one giant room, and there are just a few places I’d tweak to make it function even better.

AVERY’S PLAN REVIEW 🏡
OK I LOOOOOVE this plan.
Lately I’ve had A LOT more clients say, “I want semi open, but I don’t want totally open.” History always repeats itself. Don’t forget that. 😂
This plan absolutely nails that balance, and it’s just under 1,700 square feet.
What I LOVE:
• A true foyer instead of walking straight into the great room
• Primary suite in its own wing with the kids/guest rooms separate
• Kitchen, dining and great room still connect, but each space feels defined
• Covered patio with really smart door placement
• GREAT garage entry with benches, lockers, a catch all desk and separate laundry
• If I’m an empty nester, one bedroom is the guest room and the other is absolutely my office
What I’d change:
• If we’re on a crawlspace, I’d use the basement stair area for a larger pantry and mechanical closet
• Grow the garage. You know I’m not building a two car garage smaller than 24' x 24'. Basically a sin. 😂
• I’m keeping the tub because I’m a tub girl. If you’re not, lose it and grow the vanity. Win win.
Past that, I LOVE it.
This is such a good example of why square footage isn’t everything. Good design matters.
