New Year, New Home... well, sort of...
Happy 2026, everyone! I hope that this year will be a good one (or, for the other citizens of the United States, a better one).
On to why I've created this thread. I've made a new home! Mostly. Let me explain.
I found a picture on my Facebook feed, not specifically for a particular home, but for some home service which I don't recall what at this moment. It seriously intrigued me, as it had elements of different home styles that I like. Eventually, I did a reverse image search because I was curious if it was a real home or an AI-generated image, and found an actual home associated with it (here). Just so you know, I did NOT recreate the home I found (mainly because I don't like the layout and all of those floors of the original), but used mostly its front view (and maybe a little of its interior layout) as inspiration. I have created this home as a single-story home with 4 bedrooms and 3-and-a-half bathrooms.
Below is a screenshot I took from my Facebook page.
Here is the link to the file I've created, and below are the pictures of it.
Aerial Front
Front Porch
Aerial Back I'm still working on this area.
Back Patio I haven't furnished this area, or the backyard, yet.
Foyer Taken from just inside the front door, looking toward the Great Room. Taken from just inside the front door, looking toward the Hallway. Taken from near the Hallway, looking toward the Great Room. Taken from in front of the Hallway, looking toward the Front Door.
Great Room. This area includes a small library, living area, kitchen, and pantry. The original design had it possible to go straight into the kitchen area from the foyer, but I thought that was not necessary, and the closed-off area in that corner could be used as someplace to feed any pets. Taken from the Foyer, looking to the Back. Taken just a few steps into the Great Room, looking into the small library area. Taken just a few steps past the small library area, looking to the Back. Taken from the middle of the Great Room, looking at the living area. Taken from the middle of the Great Room, looking at the kitchen. Taken from the back of the house, looking toward the Front Door. Taken from in the kitchen area, looking at the Pantry.
Dining Room
En-Suite Bedroom, Bathroom, and Walk-In Closet Taken from the door into the bedroom. Taken from the sliding door between the bedroom and bathroom.
Master En-Suite Bedroom, Walk-In Closet, and Bathroom Master Bedroom, taken from the door into the bedroom, looking toward the bathroom, with the Walk-In Closet visible. Master Bathroom, taken from the door from the bedroom.
Hallway leading to the Third and Fourth Bedrooms, Main Bathroom, Half Bathroom, Laundry and Mud Room, and 2-Car Garage. The Half Bathroom is a little awkward for picture rendering so this is the only picture of it other than in the floor plans.
Third Bedroom. This is the smallest bedroom, and I have it decorated as an office with a Murphy bed (possible a Murphy bunk bed, although I couldn't find a model to use for that).
Main Bathroom.
Fourth Bedroom.
Laundry and Mud Room.
2-Car Garage The water heater and Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning system are in here. I forgot to add the electrical panel and meter, but I was planning on putting them in here.
Screenshots of the floor plan. I didn't take a picture of Level 2 because there's no actual rooms there, just the uppermost walls, the beams over the Great Room, and the roofing. Ground level Main level
