The opinions and practices of a mother of 9, striving to thrive in northwest Arkansas.
Olives are in reference to Ps:128:3: Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.

I drew
another house plan. I turned on the dryer as we were leaving the other
day and thought, "what if the house burned down?" and this plan came to
me.
That's
a 36" pro stove, and double full size built-in fridges, plus a freezer.
Yeah, I'm dreaming. Each small bedroom has a walk-in closet plus a
small closet; there is a porch across the length of the front of the
house, with an entry door into kitchen or main entry way. There is an
arched doorway between the entry and the living room. I also thought of making the kitchen cabinets with roll-top covers so we can eat without seeing the dirty dishes. :)
* bathroom at end of pantry (though if you flipped the laundry room, they could share plumbing in the wall) * sink(s?) too far from fridge * fridge too far from entry points
(Suggestion: Put the fridge where the dishwasher is, and move the DW to the other side of the double sink.)
Thanks, Wil, for the comment. I didn't originally have the toilet in the pantry, but was convinced that we needed a third. I could put it at the entry to the pantry, but that would require a "hall" past it, wasting space. Could easily flip the laundry. I was trying to create "stations" in the kitchen (I've heard it's popular now, and anyway it makes sense with 3+ cooks in the house), but there are many ways to accomplish that. (Yes, I made 2 sinks.)

Some things I like about it:
* gigantic pantry
* walk-in coat closet
* extra-wide linen closet
* windowless library
Not sure about:
* bathroom at end of pantry (though if you flipped the laundry room, they could share plumbing in the wall)
* sink(s?) too far from fridge
* fridge too far from entry points
