A Woman’s Perspective -
Home Plan
Karla found her ideal
home plan; she made a few tweaks and now it’s perfect!
Homeowner’s Profile: Karla and her
husband selected a two-story with future flexibility for their
growing children (two sons, ages 5 and 3). Karla is a stay-at-home
mom who hosts play days and birthday parties as well as entertaining
friends on the weekends. Having a main floor play room that
could be shut off from the main living areas was a priority.
The upstairs office easily converts to a guest room for occasional
visits from relatives.

Modifications Karla made to the Pebble
Creek, #8100:
- Stretched the kitchen 5 feet to the left (even with the
garage wall).
- Increased the garage to 22 by 24 feet.
- Moved the laundry room even with the extended kitchen,
separating the laundry room from the service entry. The
revised entry now includes an entrance to the half bath,
a drop zone and a coat closet.
- Replaced the kitchen’s peninsula with a 4-foot
island with a snack bar on one end. Removed the desk and
created a wider pantry.
- Converted the dining room to a toy room/future study
by enclosing the entry side of the dining room and adding
French doors that open to the great room. A high transom
window was added to the entry side of the room to bring
in extra light, while shielding the view from the entry.
- Raised the lower level ceilings to 9 feet.
- Upstairs, Karla created a large walk-in closet in the
master bedroom over the stretched area on the main level.
- Redesigned the master bath to include a larger shower,
corner whirlpool and a double vanity with a linen cabinet
above it.
- Moved the full bath between Bedrooms 2 and 3 and made
it a Jack & Jill bath.
- Put French doors on Bedroom 4 and gave it a ¾ private
bath, converting it to an office/guest suite.
- Created a large linen closet with a plant ledge above
it in the hall.
- Added a window with a plant ledge on the staircase landing.
