Redesigned First Floor





So I was getting all ready to draw some doors and windows on Tuesday when I was working in the library after school, then my friend Lindsey made a suggestion to me.

 Firstly, she commented on my stairs and asked how they were going to work (I made stairs that didn't correctly lead to a landing), and I said "Eh, whatever, they can just stay like that". Then she took a look at the rest of the floor and saw how oddly designed my living room was, and remarked that I could move around some of the rooms to make it bigger. So that's exactly what I did.

I should've realized how inconvenient my design layout was before, but I am so glad that Lindsey questioned my design so I could think more critically about how it would really feel to live in a space like this. This skill will be necessary for designing my "real" home. Here is my new design for the first floor, with added doors and windows!

It was easier to draw the interior walls this time and the doors because I already had practice doing that with my original plan, so that's another reason why I'm thankful for Lindsey offering her suggestions. I got to practice drawing and become more affluent with drawing walls.

 Appliances to come later!
