Super cool! This is so much better than describing what you want with words. I think the conversion rate is about 1,000 words per picture if I remember correctly!
Hey Bruce. That's interesting thinking on your pantry. It feels like I would get a bit frustrated by the walking distance from the rest of the kitchen; the prep area, oven and fridge, for example. But if you've thought it through, and you think it'll work best for your lifestyle, then that's all that matters. When we were designing our house, I found a cool bit for freeware called Sweet Home 3D, where you draw the floorplan yourself, including doors, windows, and even (if you want) furniture, and the software builds a 3D model in real-time. (Best used with multiple monitors.) We went through about 18 different layouts before we found one that worked, and then paid a professional drafter to draw it up properly (as it sounds like you're doing), and then we shopped it around to find a builder. It's quite a process, huh. I"m enjoying watching you go through it; thanks for sharing. If you're interested, you can see some clips of our demolition and build on my other channel: ruclips.net/video/f9hzY6SZ3fc/видео.html All the best.
Yeah, it might be a little far from the oven. Our thinking is that you only out things in/get things out of the oven a few times. That why we want it over there. Good thoughts though. I think we are just so tired of the bottlenecks in our current kitchen. And we involve our 3 kids in cooking and cleaning up, so there often 5 people in the kitchen at once. Ha. Thanks for the recommendation on that app. I’ll check it out!
It will be a little small office. Just enough for 1 chair and a small desk…about a 4 foot desk. We will probably leave it a cased opening to there or maybe a folding barn door. Not sure. Since it is inside the master door, you can close it off that way.
Cool I never considered using Preview to draw house plans I wonder how many comments mention sketch up? I use ArchiCad, REVIT, AutoCAD, & Sketch Up - expensive for sure but all offer 30 day trials
Rebecca knows and uses Fusion 360, an AutoDesk program, but it’s quite complicated. We wanted something approachable for the masses. I would not use this for anything very technical. It just helped us visualize the changes.

You got that right! It helps to be able to show it to make sure what you’re trying to do will work.

What is the little nook in the master for? It’s open to the bedroom or has a door?
