No..not a home that I would find comfortable or a “my space ” type of area. Certainly a book for those on the Stepford Wives Backdrop.

I knew when I bought the book it might not have the type of plans I wanted. It did not.
I never did find what I wanted which was plans with cathedral and vaulted ceilings.

In the future, my husband and I are looking to build our own home. It has been difficult for me to find books with house plans that aren’t too modest (bare minimum architectural detailing) or too grand (an imposing mansion with 7+ rooms). This book provided me with a variety of home plans that are beautiful but aren’t overly ornate. As much as I enjoyed this book, I do wish there were more pictures of completed homes with their interiors.
If you are interested in Spanish, Neo-Mediterranean or Italianate styled homes and floor plans, look elsewhere. Try authors such as Dan Sater or Amy Fullwiler. This book has an abundance of homes with an American Colonial, American Southern/Country or French Chateau influence. (There are a few Victorian styled homes but it’s not well represented).
