Also, I'd like to share another vintage house design that I had worked on, also not from the book but still about as old.
1920 Bennett Home - Bison
Original ad
Aerial Front
Aerial Back. Here you can see that I added an additional room to the back of the house, as well as removed the chimney from the kitchen.
The addition; a Laundry Room, and I have the water heater in here. The door visible at the top of the stairs is into the Kitchen.
Now on to the Main Floor. Disclaimer: I did keep the ceiling height of this level at 9 feet.
Living Room and Dining Room. I took down the wall between the two, making it into a Great Room. I wasn't sure what to do with that small area near the stairs in the first picture so I used it as a place to add another sitting area. You can also see that I took out the door to the Kitchen and enlarged the door frame.
Kitchen, first from near the doorway to the Dining Room, and second from the door to the Laundry Room. I kept the layout pretty basic, almost sparse; I might change that in the future.
Now on to the First Floor. Disclaimer: I did not take any pictures of the Walk-In Closets.
Bedroom 1
Bedroom 2
The roofing in the original was cutting into the Walk-In Closets to these two bedrooms, I didn't like that, so I shortened them.
Bathroom. I didn't like the layout in the original, so I switched things around.
Master Bedroom, two different angles. This room, along with the Walk-In Closet, had been marked as storage in the original, which I felt was a bit of a waste of space, so I bumped out the wall so that it matched with the Dining Room below and created the little nook with the vaulted ceiling. And, as I look at the layout of this room, another way to decorate it might be to have the bed in the nook under the window, but I don't know where the nightstands would go... maybe not... (I know that the beam on the ceiling looks a bit out of place, but it's there to cover the mess where all those walls and roof pieces join.)
I'm not sure what I'd call this level... anyway, this is the floor plan screenshot of the level of the front stairs and the Laundry Room in back.
