Round 1 Entry: The Williams
Here's my entry for Round 1: The Williams Family.
Budget - 65,000 - Linda and Joe are suffering from empty nest syndrome. The last of their 5 children has just moved out. So they have decided they really have no need for a big house any more. Over the years, they have collected quite a bit of stuff, so they need lots of storage/display space (bookshelves, dressers, cabinets, etc.). They hate modern style furnishings. BONUS They would still like to have a guest room, for when the kids come to visit.
Linda and Joe went with a simple look for the exterior of their new home. Since they love to travel but Joe loves a garden, the front garden beds are somewhat low maintenance and can be left unattended when they go for one of their trips.
Final price:
