We wanted something that suited us, something that would enable me to leave the workforce, and we ended up designing our own place and building it ourselves from scratch. It was one hell of a journey! Now at least when we see features that could have been better designed - they're our mistakes and not someone elses! I'm enjoying reading about your journey. There's so much here for me to think about and apply to our lives here. Thankyou. L, this is exactly where we were about 5 years ago.

I'm glad you're enjoying my "journey". :-)<br/><br/>The floor plan is basically just a mix up of other house plans (well I guess that's obvious). We were going from a 180m2 (approx) home to 150m2 home so I wanted to make the best use of space possible. Perhaps I can take a photo of the floor plan so you can see - give me a few days and I'll see what I can do. :-) Thanks everyone. I’m glad you’re enjoying my “journey”. :-)

Mine are very stop start, but I am definitely trying to buy less. I think it is a good way to at least feel I have some control.
