I’ve loved house plans since I was a little girl. My friend, Jackie, and I, used to draw them on notebook paper and then sit down with the Sears Catalog and fill every room. In the 60’s, the catalog was huge and filled with appliances, floor coverings, furnishings, wallpaper, bedding, everything you might need to be a designer. We both became teachers, but I think we would’ve made great purchasing agents!

I digress!

I even took CAD (Computer Assisted Drafting) classes after my husband was diagnosed with MS. I enjoyed modifying plans for accessibility. I enrolled in a certified accessibility program, but could not pursue it. I had too many papers to grade!

I wrote a couple of days ago that I had found the perfect floor plan. Well, almost. It needed tweaking for accessibility. I didn’t get out my CAD software, though I thought about it. I just scanned and printed the floor plan from the builder’s brochure. Then I drew all over it with my red colored pencil. What fun! It was just like being a little girl, again! I wish there was still a Sears Catalog to choose finishings from.

Note that the original floor plan is the intellectual property of Sedgewick Homes.
