I just made two new house plans. I was wondering if you guys could review them and tell me what you think of them. You can find them at www.freebiehouseplans.com. Thanks for your help.

No, sorry. Not very well thought out in my opinion. In plan A-3 the dining room has no windows and the walls would prevent pretty much all natural light from entering. In plan A-4, it's hard to tell just how big the rooms really are and I am not sure where you plan on putting a bed in the master bedroom. The front door opening directly into the great room that way leaves little space for furniture. Plan A-2 is better, but for a master bedroom to have a smaller closet then a secondary bedroom these days is a no-no. Same goes for the master bath. On the other hand, designing small houses is a lot more difficult than large houses because of space limitations. Trying to do more with less (or at least "enough" with less) really tests a designers imagination, I think. When I doodle I always get frustrated because the ideas in my head are so hard for me to translate to design, then I give up. So you have me beat in that you at least are getting your ideas documented.

i would have to agree with the other person who commented with this floor plan. In A-6 The first floor plan really isnt thouht out enough. For example the dining room is closed off from the rest of your house and the living room is oldly shaped because the stairs asre in it and the kitchen is right there so there isnt much space for furniture etc. The door going into your first floor bathroom should be a pocket door because it would give you more sapce in your bathroom and make the issusion of having more space. But on your second story plan on A-6 its look prettty good to me. But one question do you plan on having kids one day because there is only 1 bedroom upstairs which may be a problem if you plan on having kids one day and maybe even if you have guests one day.
