The Gist Of It
Here are some pictures of houses that I fell in love with when I walked through them.These houses were model houses that Arive Homes and Edge Homes featured a few years back. Sorry for the lame screen shots! 
I love the openness lightness and casualness(?) in both of these homes.
Our plan for building at the moment is:
-2000ish sq ft rambler
- 3 bedrooms upstairs
- open concept
- master suite
- finish one bedroom and bathroom in the basement
- build under the garage
- make a 700- 800 sq ft apartment in the garage as an income property
This is THE list we are bring to our first meeting with the builder of some of our "really wants " and "it'd be nices"
