Here is an artist's rendering of the front elevation of a house plan we found on the internet.  This was the inspiration for the begining of our plans.  The overall Colonial look and the basic color scheme is what caught our interest.  We eliminated all of the brick work, and the wrap-around portion of the front porch, changed the front door from a double door to a single door with two 12" wide sidelights, and went with 6 columns instead of 8 on the porch.  We also made the garage bigger.

We then picked out (and modified) a first floor plan from another web site, and sketched out our own second floor plan.  With all of this information, our builder,
C&C Construction drew a complete set of plans for us.
