Who doesn’t love a great porch? This plan has exactly that – I love the side porch on the right, so wonderful! The good thing with (at least most) of these plans is that the architect(s) will customize them for you. Tell them your dreams and watch their creativity in action. #howexciting

What a beautiful house plan in a spectacular setting. The live oak trees and Spanish moss bring it to life! I love how you can use every bit of this house – not to mention the porches (one open, one screened)! This home exudes charm and character on every level.

Moser Design Group. Fabulous house plans. Classic design that looks gorgeous most anywhere it’s built. I live in an older neighborhood and what’s built around us matters. Infill, size, mass, scale – it makes a difference. It’s what keeps your neighborhood’s character that in this day and time is extremely hard to do. Depending upon the neighborhood, these homes look like they would blend well and fit in nicely. Good design always matters.

This is the Laurel Cottage designed by C. Brandon Ingram. This 992 square foot, two bedroom, two bathroom home has so much class. The design is stunning. Details make it look like a home built long, long ago. To have what looks like a older home in perfect condition with all the modern amenities is a dream come true!

This plan has so much charm, right? I love the areas of gingerbread, the placement of the windows, creating an inviting porch and lighting up the inside during the day and showing off pretty lighting in the evening. What’s not to love? I LOVE that this plan isn’t enormous, it’s perfect for a smaller family or if you’re downsizing. So much easier to maintain, I think we’ll be seeing more and more people downsize in the coming years. #toomuchstuffisstressful

This is the St. Mary’s Way house plan by Our Town Plans. This plan is 3,671 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. I love that there are options for two additional bedrooms. One as an additional guest suite, adding 381 square feet, and the other is an optional attic suite, adding 762 square feet!
Another interesting fact about this home is that there are two ways that it can be placed on a lot and both are equally as stunning! See Our Town Plans website to see the other elevations (click the orange link above). Click HERE to see a few real life images of this home (exterior). Wow!

This is the Freshwater Rest house plan by Flatfish Island Designs. This plan is 4,025 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms. This is a stunning plan, perfect for island living. Sharp exterior, isn’t it? Love all the windows (and the front porch)! I also like that you don’t notice that the garage is located on the left side of the house. It’s there, but it just looks like part of the house. Continue reading “Check out the Freshwater Rest house plan by Flatfish Island Designs!”
Isn’t this the most wonderful plan? Can’t you see yourself walking into this sweet home? Sit on the front porch and say hello to your neighbors. An 8’x18′ porch is nice in size, especially for a relatively small home. Love this!

First of all I would like to welcome Lake & Land Design Studio – this is an impressive company with some wonderful plans for the future. They are a fairly new company (one year), and with their thoughts, plans and ideas – they will go far!
This is the Lambert Cottage by Lake & Land Design Studio. This plan is 2,147 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 bathrooms. There is a total of 3,056 square feet including the outside porches underneath the roof. That’s a lot of living space. How wonderful to have the flexibility to have part of your space outside! You can download the plan packet HERE.
This plan has so many wonderful qualities. It’s just perfect! I love these wonderful porches, especially the fireplace outdoors (double fireplace!). How perfect that there is a studio! Every house should have a studio, because everyone does something… Whether it be painting, sewing, or using it to put your desk. It’s conveniently located off of the great room near the kitchen. What a wonderful open plan, lots of light, windows and doors. The Master Bedroom is tucked away on it’s own “wing” of the house. Note the Fishing Dock, nice, huh? This is the perfect plan on water. I could go on and on, but really, just look at this plan!
Perfect upstairs… 2 bedrooms each with a bathroom. Even though these two bedrooms are across the hallway from each other I like how they added the space between the hallway and bedroom on the right hand side – makes it more private.
Read a bit about Lake & Land Studio, from their website:
Lake & Land Studio, LLC specializes in rural building design. We believe houses, boathouses, and barns should be designed in harmony with its surroundings, drawing inspiration from local vernacular architectural forms. Located in South Mississippi we primarily focus on designing Lake Houses, Boathouses, and Retreats. We are currently expanding our scope of work to include rural estates, hunting camps, and equestrian farms. We are a small business which allows us to take great pride in the projects we design. We are detail oriented, and we tailor our designs to each individuals needs and wants, never letting our own intentions trump that of our clients. Our primary goal is to create homes and places where clients can feel their input in every space they’re in. We pride ourselves in creating unique, one of a kind designs, for every client we work with.
Meet the staff! They really seem like go-getters. This is destined to be one heck of a company. They have a good vision – and that is so important!

I swear Coastal Living has some wonderful house plans on their website. This featured plan is called the BLUFFTON (SL-594) and it’s an exclusive design for Coastal LIving by Hall and Hull Architects, Inc. A beautiful plan that can be used in different ways, which is so nice these days! Proves that when you have a good plan you can fit a lot of living into a 1,435 square foot space!
Just look at all the wonderful porches! It’s nice to have French doors in the family room… let the cool air in (well, as soon as we can open windows!)… One thought, it might be a good idea to screen the back porch, that way the French doors could be opened without mosquitoes getting in the house, as well as sit on the porch without being “bugged”, hee.
It’s so nice when a house plan can be versatile, and this one is. There is a lovely dining room off of the kitchen, and while many people enjoy a formal dining ensemble, some of us just don’t use it. So personally, I would put my desk, a few wing backs (ours aren’t formal, they’re slipcovered in white duck cloth), maybe a neat old table that we could use if we had people over for dinner, but otherwise would put books and a lamp on it. I would maybe even tuck one of those cool (and compact!) wood stoves made by Rais (love this model!) in the family room for the cooler months. Heat and fire add such ambiance, and they take off the winter chill! Elegant, a bit modern and useful!
This plan is available for purchase through Coastal Living’s website. It’s a winner!

Lowcountry Cottage, Southern Living Plan SL-1121 by Moser Design Group
First of all, let me say THANK YOU TO FRED STROUD, for the endless resources he has provided for this post! I wanted {desperately} to show you photos of the interior and I wasn’t coming up with any {whine, whine} he overheard me {as I talk to myself, sigh} and said that you can RENT this house at Palmetto Bluff, so there ARE images for you to see, woohoo! Thanks Fred, you saved the day!
This is one of our favorite plans, the Lowcountry Cottage by Moser Design Group for Southern Living. We have dreamt many a dream about what furniture we would put where, how we would configure it to suit our needs, and of course to find a nice waterfront {this is a dream, so might as well dream big my friends!} lot to plop this house on!
This is another wonderfully open plan… another plan where the master is in the back of the house, making it more private. It’s not a small house as the image implies, it goes back rather far, square footage is a little over 2100 square feet. The images of the house plans are from houseplans.southernliving.com – this plan is called the LOWCOUNTRY COTTAGE.
You have the option of one or two bedrooms upstairs… I think I would go for the two bedroom (alternate version)… make one storage and one a guest room… We don’t need another large bathroom, I would make it a single sink vanity with maybe a linen closet built in next to it instead of a double sink…
Click HERE (then select the 2 bedroom Wilson Home to see photos) to go to the Palmetto Bluff website where you can rent this cottage… it shows a few interior photos which is nice… Here’s the kitchen, the one thing I love are the windows! No cabinets above… Let that sunshine in! There are a few things I would change for us personally, but the windows are ideal!
Catch you back here tomorrow!
House Plans. Fred and I have looked at house plans since we first met. Matter-of-fact one of our first dates was a home tour… we’ve always loved design, furniture, and great homes… Fred has safely tucked away so many wonderful house plans that it boggles the mind. Our affinity for house plans is the reason I’ve decided to make a weekly post dedicated to house plans… I might as well pass along the oh-so-great-ones to you, right?
