I used to be proper once I mentioned in yesterday’s put up that I wanted assist getting out of my tunnel imaginative and prescient. And this complete train of seeing precise ground plans submitted by different individuals, and seeing how others envision the probabilities for our home, actually helped me begin pondering outdoors the field.
I’m not at a degree the place I can say, “That is the plan!” I haven’t even proven Matt any of the plans that have been submitted, and I’m nonetheless pondering by numerous potentialities. I wish to take my time reasonably than speeding into a choice. And I’ve acquired loads of concepts to chew on now.
What I discovered fascinating is that the concepts appeared to fall into two broad classes. The primary class of plans required a big rectangle-shaped addition on the again of the home. The second class of plans required two separate additions, one on all sides of the again of the home, with a deck or patio space between these two additions. So let me present you the entire submissions to this point. And for those who wished to submit an thought, however haven’t had time but, please go forward and ship it to me! Nothing is ready in stone at this level.
First, let me remind you of what our ground plan seems like proper now, with the sunroom and tiny rest room eliminated since these are going to be torn down it doesn’t matter what.
This plan was submitted by Becca, and the plan exhibits one single massive addition on the again of the home. Behind the grasp rest room is a house health club. Subsequent to that could be a laundry room. And subsequent to that (and behind the kitchen and music room) is a big front room. The present visitor bed room can be changed into a big grasp closet, and the present front room can be changed into the eating room.
This plan comes from Becky, and it additionally has the one massive rectangle addition on the again. The idea could be very comparable, with the brand new again addition housing a exercise space and grasp closet behind the present grasp rest room, a laundry room subsequent to that, and a eating room behind the present kitchen and music room.
This subsequent one can also be from Becky, and as a substitute of a big room behind the present music room and kitchen, this plan permits for an enlargement of the present kitchen and a rear entry.

The kitchen expands into the present breakfast room/sitting room. And the present visitor bed room turns into a closet. This ground plan additionally has two small areas marked space #1 and space #2. Charity means that these can be utilized as storage and laundry
Subsequent up is the primary of the two-addition ground plan. This one from Nick has a exercise room added to the again of our rest room, a household room added to the again of the music room, and a pantry behind the kitchen. The patio/deck sits between the exercise room and the household room with a curvy design on the again. The present breakfast room and pantry develop into a eating room. The visitor bed room turns into a big closet. The hallway rest room turns into the laundry room. And the half rest room in my studio turns into the complete visitor rest room.
That is additionally from Nick, with a number of minor modifications. On this ground plan, the exercise room and the closet have flipped locations.
And at last, this one is from Teri. This one additionally has two separate additions with a patio space in between. The addition behind the bogs consists of an train room, massive closet, and laundry room. And on the opposite aspect is the galley kitchen addition I had deliberate.
