Found a few photos on Houzz that show compact floor plans. Hope these help!

Thank you! While our house is not "small" by any stretch of the imagination, most of the palaces shown in these designs are so huge it's hard for the average joe to get realistic ideas.

Hi vacox,
Actually, there are lots of pictures of smaller rooms and houses on Houzz, though they don't always show up on the home page slideshow. But if you do searches on the Photos page and always use the word "small" in your search (small kitchen, small living room, etc.) you'll get lots of examples of good designs for small spaces. I've collected a whole ideabook of well designed small spaces from houzz photos. A few favorites:

Definitely post pictures on a discussion thread and ask for any advice you need. Most of the discussions involve questions about perfectly average people's perfectly average-sized houses, and everyone here is very friendly. Then you get the task of sorting through a wealth of suggestions.

And do explore the photo search engine. It is quite wonderful. You can type in absolutely anything (color, style, piece of furniture, room, size, specific paint color, etc. in any combination) and get hundreds (in broader searches thousands) of hits.
