Bedroom - small cottage guest medium tone wood floor bedroom idea in San Francisco with white walls

The best of past and present architectural styles combine in this welcoming, farmhouse-inspired design. Clad in low-maintenance siding, the distinctive exterior has plenty of street appeal, with its columned porch, multiple gables, shutters and interesting roof lines. Other exterior highlights included trusses over the garage doors, horizontal lap siding and brick and stone accents. The interior is equally impressive, with an open floor plan that accommodates today’s family and modern lifestyles. An eight-foot covered porch leads into a large foyer and a powder room. Beyond, the spacious first floor includes more than 2,000 square feet, with one side dominated by public spaces that include a large open living room, centrally located kitchen with a large island that seats six and a u-shaped counter plan, formal dining area that seats eight for holidays and special occasions and a convenient laundry and mud room. The left side of the floor plan contains the serene master suite, with an oversized master bath, large walk-in closet and 16 by 18-foot master bedroom that includes a large picture window that lets in maximum light and is perfect for capturing nearby views. Relax with a cup of morning coffee or an evening cocktail on the nearby covered patio, which can be accessed from both the living room and the master bedroom. Upstairs, an additional 900 square feet includes two 11 by 14-foot upper bedrooms with bath and closet and a an approximately 700 square foot guest suite over the garage that includes a relaxing sitting area, galley kitchen and bath, perfect for guests or in-laws.

Guesthouse - small contemporary one-story and detached metal gray guesthouse idea in Toronto

Kevin Meechan This home was inspired by the concept of south east meets south west. The rich colors add beautiful contrast to the traditional mountain craftsman design. The rustic house plan promotes open living spaces with a floor plan that provides abundant places to enjoy breath taking views, elegantly blending the outdoors with the indoors. From covered porches and multiple decks to a large lodge room offering a great view through a wall of windows, this mountain home plan embraces tranquil living.
