I used to be proper once I stated in yesterday’s publish that I wanted assist getting out of my tunnel imaginative and prescient. And this complete train of seeing precise ground plans submitted by different individuals, and seeing how others envision the probabilities for our home, actually helped me begin pondering outdoors the field.
I’m not at some extent the place I can say, “That is the plan!” I haven’t even proven Matt any of the plans that have been submitted, and I’m nonetheless pondering by way of varied potentialities. I wish to take my time quite than dashing into a choice. And I’ve obtained loads of concepts to chew on now.
What I discovered fascinating is that the concepts appeared to fall into two broad classes. The primary class of plans required a big rectangle-shaped addition on the again of the home. The second class of plans required two separate additions, one on either side of the again of the home, with a deck or patio space between these two additions. So let me present you the entire submissions to date. And in the event you wished to submit an thought, however haven’t had time but, please go forward and ship it to me! Nothing is ready in stone at this level.
First, let me remind you of what our ground plan appears like proper now, with the sunroom and tiny lavatory eliminated since these are going to be torn down it doesn’t matter what.

This plan was submitted by Becca, and the plan exhibits one single giant addition on the again of the home. Behind the grasp lavatory is a house fitness center. Subsequent to that may be a laundry room. And subsequent to that (and behind the kitchen and music room) is a big lounge. The present visitor bed room can be was a big grasp closet, and the present lounge can be was the eating room.

This plan comes from Becky, and it additionally has the only giant rectangle addition on the again. The idea could be very related, with the brand new again addition housing a exercise space and grasp closet behind the present grasp lavatory, a laundry room subsequent to that, and a eating room behind the present kitchen and music room.

This subsequent one can also be from Becky, and as an alternative of a big room behind the present music room and kitchen, this plan permits for an growth of the present kitchen and a rear entry.

This subsequent ground plan is from Jennifer. It additionally has a big rectangle addition on the again to incorporate a closet and laundry mixture, an train room, and a lounge. The present lounge turns into a eating room, and the kitchen expands into the present breakfast room/sitting room.

This subsequent ground plan comes from Charity, and it additionally has a single addition on the again, though it’s two totally different sized rectangles quite than one giant rectangle. Behind our lavatory can be a house fitness center. The addition behind the present music room and kitchen can be a household room and eating space. The present lounge turns into a TV room. The kitchen expands into the present breakfast room/sitting room. And the present visitor bed room turns into a closet. This ground plan additionally has two small areas marked space #1 and space #2. Charity means that these can be utilized as storage and laundry

Subsequent up is the primary of the two-addition ground plan. This one from Nick has a exercise room added to the again of our lavatory, a household room added to the again of the music room, and a pantry behind the kitchen. The patio/deck sits between the exercise room and the household room with a curvy design on the again. The present breakfast room and pantry change into a eating room. The visitor bed room turns into a big closet. The hallway lavatory turns into the laundry room. And the half lavatory in my studio turns into the complete visitor lavatory.

That is additionally from Nick, with a couple of minor adjustments. On this ground plan, the exercise room and the closet have flipped locations.

And at last, this one is from Teri. This one additionally has two separate additions with a patio space in between. The addition behind the bogs consists of an train room, giant closet, and laundry room. And on the opposite aspect is the galley kitchen addition I had deliberate.

I like points of all of those! Thanks a lot to every of you who took the time to attract up these plans and ship them to me. I plan to take a seat down with Matt this weekend and go over all of them in excruciating element. 😀 Thank y’all once more! This was a really enjoyable experiment.
