Good home planning ideas...

I bought this book in search of new ideas to my exsisting designs. It opended my eyes to about 5 or 6 things I had not thought of and made it all worth it. The first 15 pages or so give a sort of virtual tour through some of the homes you will see later in the book, and all in full color! However, after that the rest of the book is in black and white (actually blue and white). (Note: If you are looking for a book of big houses and pictures of the interior, this book may not be what you are looking for. Only the first 15 or so pages provide that - the rest are floor plans and sketches of the outside view of the home) In addition, there is about 5-7 pages in the back where you can reference certain plans and inquire about the blueprints and building guides online or even order blueprints for contruction of most of the homes in the book. All in all, this book is a good tool that may not have exactly the layout you want, but might spark an idea that you could add to another layout. Many of the homes have pool houses, detached garages, maids quarters and other bonuses that the average home would not have.

Amazingly creative floor plans and great elevations to boot

This is my favorite house plans book! It's packed with floor plans ranging from about 3000 sqft. to over 11000 sqft. These plans are all full of creative ideas including great designs for the master bath and creative ways to design the kitchen. You will not be disappointed with the purchase of this book!
