I am making myself crazy. We have our pole barn up with living space on the second floor. All the windows are in place and now I am doing up many floor plans. I can't make my mind up. My mind was made up (I thought) but I just can't seem to find the one plan that makes me go aha thats it!
Why not just leave it all open except for the bath and use movable screens for walls? Would give you a lot of fleability for using the space.
I have been watching HGTV. They get all that work and style done in 30 minutes!
Aw Stink, don't watch those shows... they breed discontentment!

That is only 30 minutes of camera time. You don't get to see the rest. I don't have to worry about driving myself crazy. I came that way from the factory. If you are looking for the perfect plan it doesn't exist and that will make you crazy. I used to be afflicted with perfectionism now I have hatchetassitosis.
Stink if you do that then what will your friends have to do. I always heard that your first impression or idea is usually the best. You know what you want just tweak it a little and move on.
I think my real problem is we are at a stand still until we get some $$ gathered up. I feel idle.
I do understand where your coming from on wanting to get it right, but you cant put off moving forward forever while you overthink it to death. I personally find that if I consider life (or a floorplan in this case) as a work in progress I can always be working and moving toward goals without ever actually being finished. It takes a lot of the stress out of getting there.
Why dont the people on hgtv ever injure themselves? I never see them with an icepack or heat pad....
They always wear their safety glasses and that throws a shield around the entire body.
Again, Stink?
Stink -- anything you can do that doesn't take money --- ? hmm
This week at my home here (not the home we are building) I have replaced the front door. I have installed and stained it. I have repainted the entry. I have climb onto the roof and scraped the moss off it and put some tide powder soap on it with bleach (this kills and moss I may have missed). I have started pruning a tree that needs pruning. During all this I have redone the floor plan about a dozen times in my head and also assembled the weekly grocery list.
At times I feel like I have one foot nailed down to the ground and I am running in circles.
Any pictures? hmm

I built a "perfect house" about 30 years ago...designed every inch, built it with my x-husband (read: wrong-husband), and paid as we went, and used a lot of recycled materials with a total cost of $10,000.00. It was paid for, on 18 acres of land when we broke up.
Now, I've built another "perfect house". It doesn't resemble the old one much at all except for having a lot of wood inside and out, and living porches around it. The "right husband" was much more important than the floor plan. :)
Just a thought.

I do like my "Current" Husband.
heh
hmm Must be some electricity there.
:P
Christina before you built the perfect house. Now you built the perfect "home". There is a difference.
