[QUOTE="drkelly, post: 542641, member: 825"] We built our 'dream house' about two years ago. We spent about two years planning it. We could not find an existing house plan we liked so we ended up hiring an architect to design what we wanted. We have a lot of family in the area and wanted a big dining room to be able to host Easter, Mother's Day, Thanksgiving dinner etc and all the plans we looked at had small/medium size dining rooms. We also wanted a LARGE playroom/gym room. Another thing we wanted was the option of a second master suite on the second floor (current master is downstairs). Here is my advice: - Go to MANY open houses to get ideas of what you like from size of rooms to trim to position of garage, position of rooms in the floor plan, brick, stone, wood, paint colors, kitchen cabinets, counter tops etc. - Get 1/4 scale plans for your house and cut out scaled pieces of furniture using construction paper for EVERY piece of furniture you own or plan to buy and place them in each room to see if they fit and there is proper walkway flow around everything. I did this, and it was probably one of the best things I did. We love the house, but the building process was absolutely miserable. I will never do it again. [/QUOTE]
