Inspiration

So I thought I would post the inspiration for our house.  We found this black and white rendering in a house plan book, took it to my grandpa and told him what we wanted and what we wanted changed around and he worked his magic and we came up with what we will be doing.  Later we found the website for the original which had a color rendering and fell in love with it even more.  It will look a little different than this picture, but basically the same feel.  We are really trying to stick to the Colonial Style.  We love the look and the traditional style is something I feel is classic and won't go out of style meaning fewer remodeling projects in the future.  We are sticking with this style both inside and out.

A few things that are different about our house, the biggest thing is it is flipped so the smaller section (which is going to be our garage) is on the right side of the main part. The other main change is the smaller section is a full two stories instead of one and a half.  Thank you Grandpa for suggesting we do that cause it doubled that space and we now have a separate office and a storage area.  There were a few other changes and it seems to be an ongoing thing even now.  So just thought it would be nice for you all to kind of get an idea of what these two "boxes" are headed in the direction of.
