Whether you've heard the term chien assis - literally sitting dog - or not, you probably don't know its correct meaning. I didn't until a couple of days ago although I thought I did. The windows in the photo below have always been referred to by the people I know as chiens assis, but I've
Since 2006, 11 people have died and more than 100 have been injured in Black Friday-related incidents. But what’s behind these numbers?
It’s that time again! Floor Plan Friday! I always find a never ending supply of plans to look at. I also never get sick of searching for them. There are a lot of same-same styles out there, so the hunt for ‘that something different’ is always on. Today I have…

He is a visionary; able to draft homes, restaurants, bars, and estates with a Western charm and authentic glamour. His creations are not simply structures, they are emotional spaces, from a…
Here’s a goodie floor plan for you today. Pretty standard for a residential block of land. 4 beds, 2 bathrooms, a powder room, and a good layout with the master on the back. But there is a mud room! And I like the retreat area with study for the kids.…

Artwork by Joseph Tomanek Is there something to fear on Friday the 13th? For years people have been telling us Friday the 13th is an unlucky day. Horror movies have been named after this day and research also tells us that there is an increase of accidents on Friday the 13th. But, where did all […]
© Dr. Zhivago I'll never forget the first time I watched Dr. Zhivago and the chills it sent down my spine as Yuri and Lara walked into their abandoned ice palace; the winter dacha of the Varykino estate. I haven't been to Russia yet, but I dream of it; of boarding the Trans-Siberian Railway, trav
I was hoping I hadn’t shared this plan before, because it felt familiar, but let’s look at it again anyway if I already have! I love this plan. Ok, I don’t like the laundry (no outdoor access), but that can be fixed. The house has multiple living spaces and relaxed…
Here’s a really great family home which would suit a regular block of land (by looking at it you’d need around 20m frontage though). I like the space and layout with the living through the middle. Kids up the back and parents at the front. YES! Here are some other things…
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by. Today I have this family friendly floor plan to share with you. It’s a big home. I found it via Pinterest and there are no links back to the original source so I can’t show you the facade. Anyway, I think this is a…
Hey there! Yep, this is a BIG plan. But every time I post a 5 bedroom plan people pin and save it like crazy so they are popular! I found it here. It’s grand and very spacious. I couldn’t use the 4 living spaces, so maybe the Living could be…
Hi! I found this plan last week – you might like this one. It’s called the Monterey Nouveau Q1 from here. You can also click on the image to enlarge it. I know it’s similar to a lot of other narrow houses, but I did think it was a good…
This floor plan has been in my head all week. I was even struggling to get to sleep last because I was thinking about it! It’s fair to say I really like it. It has a modern vibe with zones (which I am a huge fan of) and would be…

Hello! It’s time for another floor plan… today I have this 4 bedroom home which I thought you’d like. The front elevation looks good and would suit a wide block where the garage is out of the way. I like how the entry flows straight through to the back of…
It's Floor Plan Friday today and I have this designer and spacious home to share with you.
Here’s a floor plan that has it all! Triple car garage, massive master suite with bath, IT nook, a media room and a huge kitchen with scullery. Every room in this house has good proportions. Nothing has been left out. I like the laundry position on the back. It would…
Getting ready for your next home renovation project, and planning on taking the DIY approach? Whether you’re trying to figure out the best configuration for your doorway, the perfect type of hardwood for your kitchen
Hi there! Thanks for popping in today. Sorry this plan is a bit small, but you can click over to the original source and ask for more details. Here’s a plan with the master on the back again with quite a popular layout for the WIR and ensuite (except it’s…
Hi there! It’s Friday again and here is this week’s floor plan. I think this is a pretty good family floor plan. It’s large with good storage and has plenty of space to spread out. A couple of things I noticed: I’d add a fireplace to the living/dining niche wall.…
Today I have this large 5 bedroom family home to show you. It's a good size and would suit the growing family. The guest bedroom could be used as a teenagers retreat. The master is spacious with its own living area and huge WIR behind the bed. I like that!
Hi there, thanks for stopping by today. Here’s a floor plan you might like which suits a standard residential suburb block. It would need roughly 17m frontage to get this to fit. It’s a good plan for a family with a huge master bedroom, activity plus theatre room and an…
Hi! Here’s another floor plan for you. This one is pretty good if you like the separate living zones. Click on the image to see it larger (sorry the quality isn’t great but that’s how it downloaded). If you only need 3 bedrooms and a guest bedroom this would be…
Today I’ve got a big house plan which would sit on most residential blocks. The layout is pretty good on this one. I like the free-form living/dining area with the kitchen that follows through to the alfresco. Make sure you add that raked ceiling because that would be stunning!…
