This house plan is one of my favorites. This will be the house we build if we sell our lot and can build somewhere else. This house doesn't really fit in with our neighborhood where our lot is now. Plus, it is a little bit bigger than what we are planning on building. But I love, love, love the look of this house, even if the kitchen is far off from the garage, and all of the other bedrooms are upstairs. (a little inconvenient with small children...) This house plan is from Southern Living. Note: the picture above is not the Oak Glen house, it is actually the bigger sister plan, Forest Glen. Very similar plan, just bigger with some modifications, but close enough to get an idea!

I am just now getting back to posting some more house plans. This plan is designed by Frank Betz. He is a popular designer and has designed several houses for Southern Living. His website is http://www.frankbetz.com/ and that is where all of the pictures come from. 
There are a few changes I would make to the plan. First, I would add about 6 feet or so in the middle of the house in order to accommodate 2 bathrooms for the bedrooms. Then I could enlarge the master bedroom/bathroom/closet and make the kitchen bigger, which is always a plus. And while I was at it, I would probably add a few feet to the width of the master wing. I would also change the roof. As you can see in the picture, there appears to be two different planes around the dormers. That was just some of the modifications I was thinking about. So there you go!
Okay. This is the Sand Mountain House. This is from the Southern Living website. This house is really different (again) from something I would normally pick. And if the website didn't offer a virtual tour, I wouldn't have given it a second glance. I do think that this house is unique though. So check it out! I have added a link at the bottom to the info page for this plan. You can click on the virtual tour to get a feel of what the interior looks like!!
And of course, I would love to look out to a pool just as this picture shows!
I will be posting another house plan, but in the mean time, I thought I would share the latest pictures of our new babies!! They turned a month old on Thursday. Still no names. Joseph is still wanting Brutus to be one of the names. Funny, I know! A little 
Hey guys. Sorry I didn't post a house yesterday. Our internet was down all day here at work, and I never got around to it when I got home yesterday. So here is another house plan that I like. This plan is also from Southern Living. I really love the big covered porch, since our lot is on a lake, I can envision many summer evenings outside on the porch. I would however, make a few modifications to the right side of the home. I did a fast little job about what I have in mind. Make bookshelves on the other side of the fireplace in the living room and remove that door. Make the middle bedroom an open space, for a small playroom for the kids (or dogs, if the kids never arrive) in between the two bedrooms. With a few tweaks to the bathrooms and closets for the front bedroom, I think this would be a great little wing for the kids. And of course, we would probably wait to finish the upstairs, because that adds a lot of square footage to the home, and not sure if we would want to do that right away. So, there you go! Plan #2!
