The Program

We had our first meeting with HSpaceDB about design today. E. did a faceplant at school and had to make an uncharted stop at the dentist, so it was just Chris, no mama. It was time to make some big decisions about what we want. What DO we want, if you can have anything? Bathroom down the hall? Kids up or down? How can you say? We've been talking, thinking, tossing around ideas for so long...wierd to finally try to put them on paper.

Scott sent some left over blocks of wood home with Chris so we could visualize the concept of rooms in a 3D way. It was a little overwhelming.

The pictures they sent home were gorgeous though...the views we'd have of the lovely barn, Mount Olympus, the pasture. They mapped out where the sun hits in the winter, and summer...very important information for a cold blooded creature like Virginia.

2500-ish square feet
3 bedrooms
2.5 bathrooms
one big kitchen, living, dining area, a "Family" room with room to explode in toys, projects and all the saturday morning glory with lots of connection to the outdoor space. Whew!


Open pasture brought into home, Home brought to pasture.

Our general direction is towards a modern farmhouse. An idea we are getting use to and finding out there are some beautiful designs which would fit our lifes. Possibilities of drawings on our next meeting brings smiles.
