It may be small, but it is perfect for them! Really, I don’t think it’s considered a true jack and Jill bathroom because they only have one sink. Their bathroom is small, but I figured they are boys and they don’t need a lot of space to get ready. Liam and Blaine’s room are exactly the same size and so are their closets. I also wanted them to have a jack and jill (technically a jack and jack since they are both boys) because I didn’t want our guests using their bathroom. So if the laundry was going or we opened the garage doors, we didn’t have to worry about them waking up from the noise. I wanted our boys rooms to be on the opposite side of the garage, laundry room, and the master room. Then I looked at other house plans that I liked the bedrooms and bathroom set ups. That way it didn’t feel like you were going to walk into a table when you came in. We also added in a small pop out area for a small foyer. Sooooo glad we did this! So our great room size we ended up with is 20X 47! It’s the perfect length, and has lots of walkway space without feeling crowed between rooms. Then added a foot to the width to create more walkway space. The great room was originally 19.5 x 49, we eventually cut back some of the length. So you can see straight through my front doors to the back doors.ĭrawing of house plans- first draft of many! I also wanted my back doors to match the front doors. I wanted my front doors to open right up to my dining table. So I drew up how I wanted this room to flow within all one big area the kitchen, to dining room, to living area. I found a house plan on the Architectural Designs website that has the layout of the open great room. I started with the main living area because I knew that was the area that would be used the most by our family and for entertaining. Then, I got to work! Started with the Great Room, and Worked My Way Around. I was so PUMPED! I went home and started looking at a few house plans I saved. He would create the blue prints with accurate dimensions. Once the builder we were going with told me that I could draw up my ideas, and take it to an architect. I knew then, after researching house plans for a month or so that I would have to do something different. They didn’t flow right, or I didn’t like where something was placed. I found house plans that checked off all these boxes, but the layouts were not working for me. It needed to have at least 3 bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, a large living area, large master bath, a large patio area, boys room had a jack and Jill bathroom, and possible office/playroom. We needed our house to be flexible as our family changed overtime. We knew that after purchasing our land (purchased 13 acres with my sister and split it down the middle), it was going to be the place we lived forever. I was stressed and overwhelmed because I couldn’t find a house plan that was perfect for our family. I’m going to start by talking about how we created our custom house plans. Then, you don’t remember which ones you actually liked or not! You can search websites for different layouts for days and they all start to look so similar. House plans are one of the most stressful things you have to decide on when you first decide to build. Our Thoughts on Designing Our Custom House Plans These were all original drawings to help show you the process of creating house plans to fit your needs. Please take note that many of the photos I have included are not accurate to our current house plans. This way we could get accurate blue prints to give to our contractor. We may have designed the layout, but we had an architect draw them up correctly. As many of you know, I am working on getting legal rights in order to sell our house plans. I have included a few pictures of my original drawings.
