New House

Jump to: navigation, search

We really like the current floorplan, and are considering the following adjustments to it. Unless an item is mentioned, it is assumed to remain the same as our current house.

In general, we are avoiding building features into the house itself, preferring instead to remain more flexible by using additional shelves and furniture to provide such features.
