Another Fall in your Home.

As another Fall approaches, I am happy to have learned so much more about the online world and blogging.

My home had held up well and what is funny is that, although I love the house and location, I have already started dreaming of a bigger home in a warmer spot.

It's not that I don't like the Venice at all, it's just that I have started to really get serious about my blogging adventures and find a need for an office in a central location in the house.

Right now I have my office/guest room upstairs next to the kids bathroom and I barely am ever in it.

I do most of my online work on my couch, morning room table or on the floor next to the fireplace (like I am right now) because I'm a heat hoarder.

I love my fireplace.

If you are building a Ryan Home, or any home for that matter....get the fireplace.

I'll have to figure out where I got my fireplace blower too (I'll share that soon) so you can get one too.

I just bought one and popped it in and here I am enjoying it.

There are some Ryan Home models that have great layouts for office space and I know I've seen the Palmaro (I think that's the name) that is a larger home with a great layout for office space on the living floor.   It's a little more closed in though but the kitchen is in a central location so it's still really nice.

With my blogging now, I can see the benefit of a home that is less of an open floor plan just so you don't get attacked by drolling and grasping little one year olds who smell like poo. (Yes...I just got attacked)

Being able to work uninterrupted is kind of a commodity around here.

Do any of you guys out there have a home you love that allows you to work but still kind of be a part of the action?

I'm curious how you do it and what you thoughts are about an open floor plan with an office to the side or a closed floor plan altogether.

Thought?  Please share! :)

Have a great day!

(Ps...if you wanna check out my biggest online adventure:www.marikinavalley.com     Eventually I'll be writing more about the job killing program for those that are interested.

  1. Perfect timing with the fireplace suggestion! We are currently building a Venice and were debating on it!

  2. We just moved into the Olsen model. I work from home as a blogger too, and a big reason we picked this one was the office off the back of the kitchen. It also has a nice bonus room space upstairs, which I use for my projects. The ability to close the doors or leave them open to hear what's happening down the hall will be nice. =) www.completelychristi.com

  4. Hey girl! Glad to see you out and about. LOL
    As far as study space, love the Savoy for that, my home. Yes I would have liked to have built a bigger home, like the Courtland, we have ONE in our plan and its my fav house, soooooooooooooooooooo much space.
    My study is as soon as your walk in our front door off to the left. I have study doors, and its a closed space to itself.

    I too, am NOT a huge fan of all that open space concept, I like some definition and my study and dining room has that.

    We just finished the underside of our outside patio roof, which was a real undertaking, because we did it ourselves and did it in pine planks, which meant staining about 70 12 foot boards, fund stuff.
