Our Future Dream Home (Downstairs)

Scot and I were having some fun dreaming tonight. Dreaming is good for everyone. This is something we will be looking forward to doing to our house. It keeps most of what we have and builds on it. It’s a simple design that we are hoping can be done cheaper than just bulldozing and starting over at some point. We will see as we get to where we can actually do this. We add a wrap around porch with screen/glass windows and a corner fireplace. We take out the fireplace in our living room all together to accommodate the wrap around porch. We take the two bedrooms downstairs and make a Master Suite. We add a half bath for if/when we have guests. We take what used to be the old dining room and extend the kitchen. And the dining room you see in the picture is our existing dining room now which used to be the formal living room which we never used for that purpose. The upstairs stays pretty much the same with the exception of a bathroom over haul for T because the upstairs would be his domain. He’d keep his bedroom where it is. Our master would become his new kid cave. His old baby room would become his homeschool room. And we would add a whole house power backup system. But here’s the drawing we did tonight. Praying we get to do this in the near future as I’m tired of going up and down stairs so much...LOL!
