2nd 'official' attmept at the floorplan. Currently in architects hands to see if my ideas work this time - should know in a week. Major changes to kitchen layout...after touring 100's of homes the past few years, we are ripping off a a couple model home ideas for the kitchen - which places a support beam in an outer ring 'raised' bar island...key goal is to maintain the complete openness between kitchen, great room and informal dining area (after all, that is where you spend 90% ofthe time you are home)....other big item is our choice to ditch the useless master bathroom tub...as most, we have one now which we've used twice in 5 years....rather than a tub that collects dust, we are going to expand the shower into a large, door less walk in....
One thing I learned when designing a house is sq footage baloons on you fast....as you need to count all the exterior walls (which is about 5 inches around the entire perimeter of the house) as sq footage...so what you think may be 2,800 sq ft suddenly becomes 3,200....
Either way, once the plans are finalized, we will be at a stand still until we can sell our current home - which is far from a fun process with a 19 month old and a 4 month old.

like your new floorplan - only "cathedral" ceiling now in entry? - I agree with the mstr bath change - mine in like that - what's with 4th bdrm - for a little girl? - ow about 6inch exterior walls - after my high heating bills this winter they'd be a must
