Home Plans : An Overview

Hi Everyone and Happy Tuesday!  Today I'm going to be kicking off the home posts on this blog by giving you an overview of my new house (!!! still pretty excited to say that !!!).  Starting next week, I'll be going room-by-room through the house giving you some "before" pictures, project ideas and timelines, and some mood boards.

Here's a little snapshot of some home specs:
- built in the 1940s
- brick ranch
- 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom
- half-finished basement
- 1/2 acre of land
- about 900 square feet

In general, I think this is a great starter home.  Dan and I both wanted to live in a particular suburb of Pittsburgh, have some land, and have access to public buses.  We also preferred to have a smaller house so that it's less maintenance (and cheaper), have a built-in garage, and situated on a quiet street.  This house checked off all of those boxes, so we were really lucky to find it!

Here's a look at the general floor plan and lot.  Please excuse my Paint skills, but hopefully you get the gist of the house. (to make it bigger just click on the image)

Even though this is a smaller house, there are lots of closets, a large basement, a fenced-in area for Selma to run around, and a big deck in the back.  What more could I ask for?



I'll see you later this week for some design inspiration, and next week for the first room breakdown!
