First Sketches!

Holy cow, first off- our architect rocks! It hasn't even been two weeks, and we are already looking at full blown sketches of what our house can become! We are still digesting all of the ideas, but so far we are pretty impressed. We are going away to Las Vegas this weekend and while we're there we are going to ponder all of the ideas and then meet with our architect next week to proceed. This first plan might be a bit out of our budget, but how cool is it to get to see what our house can become?!

Here is the current floor plan (open the image in a new window if you want to zoom in):

Option A Floor Plan (yippeee- our first "after" floor plan!) 

To help us visualize the new versus the old, our architect included a composite plan:

We never thought of totally reconfiguring the kitchen, or moving the master (while keeping the master bathroom, which we love) so we are thrilled with the "out of the box" thinking. Eric was also pretty worried about the size of the front living room in the "before" so I know he's excited about the idea of making it bigger. All in all, an excellent start.

And here's a super cool bonus that we weren't expecting- exterior renderings, given the Option A floor plans! Feast your eyes on what could be our new house (most likely in the same pale blue it is right now):
