I don't want our house too look or feel like a brand new house.  I want it to have the charm and character of an old house that has a history.  <br /><br />A couple of months ago I posted <a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2013/03/new-addition-to-our-house-driving-me.html">my sketches of our vision</a>.  I got great feedback from all of you and have made adjustments accordingly.  The biggest addition to the addition as been that of a large mudroom and dry storage, and a studio for me.    <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg4O5h4oHmMs2BnXS9D1P9e5PAQ4YgaSyRKsPywfZbxaS7NIGnItufmK-IPLHY2FkHv3GCNXGKE09hz1sUjmL5yW0793JOoFLAZCwqKtWab-d5apaz9iPymxSpaHEp44uaVU-B1QWf-y2o/s1600/new+house+plan+BLOG+new+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

text-align: center;">As you can see - attached to the garage is a studio (that envision to look like a classic potting shed) with french doors that will lead out to the garden.  Hopefully it will be a place that I can do projects, make messes and then just hose down.  I've also included a dog wash area in the garage - another recommendation from the readers!  </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Instead of losing the charming porch off of the side of our house, we're now considering a detached garage instead of an attached.  I think the little jog over to the mudroom/studio and garage will add some charm to the exterior.  We're also hoping to add a covered porch off of the kitchen (accessed through double french doors) that will step down to the patio.  <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Another new idea is instead of turning the old garage into a guest bedroom, we'll be using it as a library/dining room.  I think I would miss having a formal dining room for the holidays, so I think this will be a nice addition... and it can be more of a library/study the rest of the time.  Because the rest of the house will be pretty open, it will be nice to have place that can be a cozy quiet zone for working and studying.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
