Mariko, what a cute room! I love the pink walls, the white wainscoting and headboard really gives the room a "cottage" look to the room, if you like cottage style you can really play that up with mismatched furniture painted white to match the headboard. It will be traditional with a mixture of hip and gable roof lines, all brick. I can scan my mock-up of the elevation soon. We have not used an architect yet, but plan to involve one soon as we are close to our ideal. Please give any feedback- it will not hurt my feelings. A few things I am concerned about are long hallways on the left side, laundry room without direct vent to outside or any windows. The guest bath is designed to be able to accomodate a parent in a wheelchair if necessary at a future date. The girls (2 oldest) will use a the jack and jill bath on the left and our son will use the guest bath. Our home will be built on a 30 acre farm and we have 3 kids, ages 1, 4, & 6.

Yippee! We did have a study (AKA hunting trophy room) off of the foyer and a playroom in the left bedroom wing, but hubby wants to combine these spaces and put them near the rear of the house (off of the screen porch) so they will be easier to use when entertaining casually. Hubby is getting into the planning with me now that our date for aquiring the land is drawing nearer. Hi folks! This is the second time I have posted our plans for review.
