At the moment it's our bedroom because it is closer to the chimney and keeps the actual bedroom clear for work. Yes, old houses do lack for storage. We are fixing that in the remodel. Leigh - It's not quite as straight-forward, but you can use that online tool for kitchens too. Create a new plan using "Design Your Own" and a type of "other". Then, under the "Generic" tab, look at the "structural" set of items. If you scroll down, you'll find kitchen counters and cabinets. No stove symbol, but you could always just use the rectangle tool at the bottom and sub in your own dimensions. Now if you were trying to <i>design</i> the cabinets, this is probably a less than ideal tool for the job ... Lynn – Well “plan” to have a craft and sewing room. At the moment it’s our bedroom because it is closer to the chimney and keeps the actual bedroom clear for work. Yes, old houses do lack for storage. We are fixing that in the remodel.

I only wish they had a kitchen because that's the room I'm stuck on. :o It has an odd shape too. I don't envy you with this task. I find that I have to live in a space for awhile (sometimes quite awhile) before I figure out how I want to utilize it. What a neat online tool.

It makes it fun to plan a room! ...Ahhh, you have a craft and sewing room...I used to have a beautiful craft and sewing room in my last house, before we moved into this tiny place. I miss having enough rooms! I even used to have a room set aside to be a library (we just needed to build bookcases!). Then we moved here, into our tiny historic house, and don't have enough rooms or storage areas. It will be exciting as your home gets organized and you can pick out cool lights & furniture & such!
