      We are seriously considering the THOMASINA as our final home plan. I love the new concepts for the open plan and also the exterior changes for today's modern farmhouse. As an "Empty Nester" and nearing retirement, I'd love this house plan with a few changes or at least with these options. My plan is to still keep the house under 2000 sq ft with my changes. 1) I'd like to see the fireplace on the rear wall between two windows, as I don't want my only TV space to be high up over my fireplace. I would want to expand the Living Room approximately 2' -3' wider making it 17'-4 or 18'-4 x 16'-10, 2) This also would increase the Dining Room (12'-0 or 13-0' x 10'-8) by the same 2'-3' to accommodate a larger family table and possibly a hutch or other furniture. I would lose the alcove. Even though Formal Dining rooms are becoming obsolete, they are still necessary for Holiday gatherings and with your open concept it doesn't feel like a separated room away from everything like they used to. 3) The small Breakfast room should not have a door opening to the pantry as that would be to difficult to open when you have a table and chairs in that area. The more convenient location would be opening in the hallway, however I would rather remove that pantry altogether, and have that space to slightly enlarge the Breakfast area. This would make the Breakfast area approx 12-0 x 12-6 if you brought the windowed wall out to the end of the covered porch, then have french doors off the breakfast going out onto the covered porch. 4) I personally would lose the Bonus Room, since an older couple wouldn't need a "playroom" up stairs. I would then move the kitchen cabinet wall back to where the Bonus stairs were, increasing the size of the kitchen (but not heated sq footage) and put an opening in the cabinets to allow for a walk-through or hidden pantry area (the storage area in the garage would now become my walk in pantry which would include the window). This area approx 6'-4 x 7'-8 should be large enough to accommodate an 2nd refrigerator (that is usually stuck out in a garage) which would still give you some room for floor to ceiling shelving. I would also reconfigure the Island with sink to give me the most usable counter space with eating bar on the island with maybe an L shape or sink centered and angled. 5) I would shift the garage towards the front of the house by 4 feet. The Thomasina shows basement stairs as you come in the door of the garage and I would leave those to the right as you come in the door from the garage. By shifting the the entire garage forward 4', it doesn't increase heated sq ft, and this space would expand both the utility room (now becomes approx 10'-6 x 9'-6) and the master closet by 4' in length (now becomes approx (8'-0 x 9'-6). 6) In the Utility room I would include an area for a desk and a utility sink. The coat closet coming in the door past the basement stairs would stay. 7) I like how you changed the Master Bathroom from the Thomasina, however I prefer a 6' deep oval tub (definitely do not want a freestanding one) and it is desperately missing a linen closet since there is no where to store linens on this side of the house.

      As someone from the cold northern midwest, you may want some place to put jackets/coats when you enter the foyer. Right now it will be awkward since there's no closet space anywhere close by. I'd bump out the breakfast area to the porch location and create more windows to replace the dining alcove. Everyone's working at home so then remake the dining alcove into a nice size office which would give you plenty of space to move the wall to allow closets. Then get rid of the french doors to the bedroom and add another kitchen cabinet by the fridge. The pantry shouldn't open up into the breakfast area and should instead open up facing the stairs since the owner will probably want to put a table and benches there. The utility room needs to have the w/d connected on the garage side of the wall as those are loud and and no one wants to hear that when they sleep or deal with the vibrations. This would also mean flipping the small coat closet next to it. That space right off the garage is also high traffic imo, so I would bump the pantry back to be flush with the master bedroom. That way when the homeowner sets a table by the wall the kids wont run straight into it when they go stair sledding or when you accidentally bump it whipping the groceries around because you brought them all in at one time.

      This appears to be a smaller, squished design of a very popular elevation. I like how the foyer is centered to the great room and french doors. The pantry door needs to be moved to the hall for easier kitchen access as the nook is so tiny, there would be no room to get to the pantry with any bit of furniture. Then the nook wall space would be more functional for decor/ furniture. I appreciate the affordable sized plan, but it seems another 100- 150 square foot would keep it from feeling so tight, especially in the kitchen and secondary bedrooms.

      The exterior is charming! Love the modern farmhouse look. This plan would be great for empty nesters with a few modifications. Some suggestions: The dining room is too small. It must accommodate family gatherings for holidays, and ideally the kitchen would have an island adjacent to the dining room for serving. Why the small breakfast room? Stay with one dining space, a bigger kitchen (everyone gathers in the kitchen, and in this plan they would be standing on each other's feet.) Maybe put the kitchen in front with a living room adjacent to the dining room. The separate small formal dining room is not useful these days. In a small plan, all space needs to be used each day. The entrance hall needs a coat closet. Perhaps cancel the entrance to the study and create a closet there from the entrance hall--or make it an option for those who want a study near the front entry. The rear entrance needs a drop zone for mail phone charging, etc. I like the coat closet separate from the laundry, but perhaps it could be re-worked so as to make room for the drop zone. I really dislike walking in the back door carrying bags of groceries --the family entrance-- and fighting for space with the washer and dryer. If there are children in the family, they need a space to dump their backpacks., preferably not on the washer and dryer. And where do the hockey sticks go??? Make the family entrance pleasant and welcoming and spacious. I would like to see several options offered with each plan--e.g. a patio instead of a screened porch. No bathtub in the master bath, but a big walk-in shower and large closet. A side entry garage or a front entry garage. I really like the exterior, as I said earlier, but I think houses these days need to be focused on efficiency and utility. If possible, avoid the old formulas--e.g. formal dining rooms and even huge master baths.
