Kitchen Designs
Posted by dirttodone

The family met with the Golden Eagle designer again. This time the focus was on the kitchen. It is an important room for the family as they plan to entertain at their lakehouse. They want enough room so large meals can easily be prepared in the kitchen. They want enough counterspace for multiple Nesco cookers.

And they are happy with the design they created with their designers. Below are three images of their kitchen.



The designer's images have given the family a good feel for what their kitchen will look like once completed. The excitement is building for the family. They are anxious to move forward.

The designer is going to send the family renderings of the exterior of the home based on the floor plans and other features the family has selected. Watch for those images later this week.

The design consult was a success. The family now has a working floorplan.

They decided on three level plan with bedrooms on all floors and a family room in the basement. They also decided to have two master suites for the convenience of their guests. Three additional bedrooms are located in the basement.

Design Consult Schedule
Posted by dirttodone

The family has made some floor plan decisions and are ready for the next steps.

They want more than one master suite. They want two additional bedrooms. They want a large kitchen that can serve as a gathering space.

Now they are ready to meet with a Golden Eagle designer. Their consultation is scheduled for Monday. During this consultation, the family will provide the designer with some rough sketches they have worked up. The designer will then work "magic" and create the floor plan. If all goes well, this will be the final floor plan. Otherwise, a second consultation will be scheduled for the family to work with the designer to create a new floor plan based on what is created Monday.

Sketches from Monday's consultation will be posted by Tuesday morning.

Gathering information
Posted by dirttodone

The family is busy gathering information for their scheduled design consultation next week. They know they want a floor plan that will be welcoming to guests. They want to be able to comfortably accomodate two families with children in addition to their own family. They also want to take advantage of the views of both lakes from the lot by having large windows.

Below is a lot diagram they had prepared. It shows the shape of their lot as well as the location in relation to the roads and lakes. The family expects the land to play a major role as they make design decisions, so they wanted to have a nice diagram to share with the designer.

Design Ideas
Posted by dirttodone

Since choosing Golden Eagle as the producer earlier in the week, the family has been discussing some preliminary design ideas. They really liked Golden Eagle's 10x10 full logs with a peeled finish.

The next step will be a floor plan. The family has been drawing sketches of ideas and will meet and compare ideas soon. Then they will schedule a meeting with a designer at Golden Eagle.

The family has one strong idea that they are using to make their floor plan and design decisions. They want a house to entertain in and room for everyone.
