      That wall to the side of the entrance helps keep the LR warm (reduced draft from open door). What about a glass wall at that point? Could be simple, clear (heavy) glass, or tinted or encasing an arrangement of ferns or other natural materials.

      It’s not about following trends or being cool. I personally prefer an open plan because I love to cook and bake, and I also enjoy being able to interact with my husband or guests/ play music/ watch tv while doing so. It also allows me to have a view of the sea and our garden. I dont like the idea of being cooped up in a separate kitchen. To each their own! 🎉

    Everything is perfect. No room is bigger or smaller than it has to be. The floor plan is very straight to the point, and leaves room to make future additions.
    Personally, I would build a garage parallel to the kitchen/diningroom, but leave that big outdoor space there in between...then put a large fence from the garage to the front of the house straight across with tall & skinny trees on both sides of the fence, leaving a nice, big, private courtyard where you can leave your garage from the side door, and go home through the laundry room. And that private space can be entertaining space with a barbeque grill, hot tub, etc...the side window by the dining room table can also be converted to a sliding patio door to access the private patio
    I'm in love with this design 💖🔥

      I had that issue with our floor plan, but we built it on a 4-ft. crawl space foundation that is insulated and heated, and brought all the pipes up through the floor. Outside the pipe to the well is buried well below the frost line (which, in Wyoming, is DEEP). The crawl space, which stays at 62F, is great for storage.

    This is my favorite so far and thank you for putting curtains at some of the windows. I always wondered if curtains were not used because maybe they made the room appear smaller. Since most of us would put up curtains this is much appreciated to show us how our rooms might look. I love everything about this home EXCEPT for the under 1,000 sqft.. I know me and I've gotta have at least 1,250 sqft. to feel comfortable. Such a cute little home though.

    My parents went into the home-building business when they were middle-aged. She often designed the homes. One of our first homes, had an intercom, built-in vacuum, and custom cabinetry with 2 fireplaces. It was a full-foundation ranch with an office, family room, laundry room, and two-car garage. I don't remember how many bedrooms it had or bathrooms it was over 60 years ago. I hated it! I found it totally cold, cold meaning the energy it gave off.
    I love the home shown on this channel. Who wouldn't love the front porch? The lovely stone shown throughout. Maybe that is a mudd room shown at the other front entry. Can't wait to see the inside. To me, this is a truly beautiful cozy home. Of course, I have always enjoyed simplicity over luxury. My Dad was a Taurus and loved his luxury well that which he could afford.

  • @wyominghome4857

    Lovely! We expanded a similar design up to 1400 square feet by adding a 3rd bedroom that we use as a studio/office and a large separate laundry area that adds a pantry for the kitchen. It's perfect, and it has enough space to socialize with friends. We went through the 3,700 sq. ft. ridiculously large house stage (crazy), but what are now called "tiny houses", just a few hundred square feet, while practical and economical for singles, are not large enough to accommodate having friends over. The size we now have is perfect for me and my husband, but could also easily work for a small family with children. Open kitchen, dining, living area with floor to ceiling stone fireplace.

    I would move that door in the laundry room to the side of the house. So they can assess the backyard more. And so that people don't confuse it for the front door. Move the washer and dryer over to the other side of room, and put a window there instead of door. Edit - I would also put a window on the last side of kitchen, I guess it would go out to the porch. But the kitchen feels tight otherwise.

    Love everything about this home inside and out! Just Beautiful, the only thing I would do differently is put a round table instead of the rectangular so it doesn’t look cramped. I have the exact same color couch except ours is a very large sectional. I dream of downsizing someday, we are blessed don’t get me wrong but I’m getting tired of cleaning such a large home. It’s a full time job.

    I like the overall floorplan. I'd design it to have more of a rustic feel inside and add a bit more to the wall for the living room so that the entrance to it wouldn't be quite as open.
    The room sizes are great, though. Only thing I'd add would either be a basement or small barn out back for a decent sized home studio. 🙂

    That's a great home. I wouldn't want anything larger.

    Only a couple of problems with this house floorplan. First, there isn't enough counter space in the kitchen even with the L shape extension. Since there is no built in microwave, I assume it would be a counter top model. That would take up a good part of what little counter space there is. Make room for a built in microwave.
    Second issue, the driveway access to the house is either by the laundry room or the main entrance. In terms of convenience, unloading groceries from the car to the kitchen is easier through the main entrance. Unloading the car through the laundry room would mean carrying bags through the laundry room, down the bedroom hallway, then turning right into the kitchen/ living room area. That's a long haul. I am a senior, living alone. This access is a negative point for me. There is no other purpose for the laundry room door unless it's there only for an emergency exit.
