#28 - Open Floor Plan

I'm sure that just about any new construction home is going to have an open floor plan, so I know that my house isn't anything special.  But, to me it is special.  Our set up is going to be perfect.  The kitchen, morning room, and family room space is awesome!  It will be so nice to not be "isolated" in the kitchen when I'm cooking or cleaning up.  Although the dining room is separated, the hallway from the family room to the dining room is wide, so it doesn't feel closed off.  I love the entire first floor.
The best part is I finally get to entertain!  Our house now is so tiny that it makes it hard to have very many people over at once.  We'll have such a great space now!  For a while all the kids will especially love it since not only will it be open, but it will be fairly empty as we wait to get new furniture :)

  3. We went from a 1200 sq ft 100 year old apartment to this house. Now we entertain all the time. We've even had 40+ people over on a couple occasions! It's great!

  5. India, lol. Your finished basement will be perfect for all of your son's toys. I keep telling my husband that he has to finish the basement before we have children that accumulate "stuff".
