These are the preliminary elevations the draftsman recently sent us. The pie-shaped lot dictates that the garage extend like this, perpendicular to the house. That is fine with us as I actually prefer to hide the garage doors from plain sight. However, I was not so pleased about the look of the left side. I don't know about you all but doesn't it seem like there is a glaring deficiency there?? Maybe it is my attraction to things symmetrical but it seems like there is such an imbalance to the front of the house. Although we were trying to make decisions in an attempt to keep the square footage down, in the end, and in keeping with all of our previous changes, the answer was MAKE IT BIGGER! So we added another bedroom upstairs to balance it out. Why not?? It's still play money at this point...
This is a blog about my experience of building our family home from the ground up. Watch our ups and downs as we design, build and decorate our 5000 square foot home from scratch. I will share photos and information from my many sources of inspiration and look to my favourite Canadian designer Sarah Richardson for ideas along the way. I hope that I can create a Rebecca's House in her likeness!
