A kitchen should work for the way you actually live in it, not just the way it photographs.

When I designed the kitchen in the Bamboo Ranch Home Plan, the priority was function first: a clear path between the sink, stove, and fridge, an island big enough to actually gather around, a landing spot for everything that comes through the door, and enough room for more than one cook at a time.

It's easy to get pulled in by finishes and forget to ask whether a layout will hold up to real life.

What's the one thing missing from your current kitchen?

Have you listened to Amy's recent conversation with Zandra Zuraw on Slow Style Home?

The conversation explores Amy's own 1920s bungalow and the design decisions that make the home workincluding designing around real life, choosing a smaller home intentionally, mixing materials, incorporating salvaged pieces, and allowing a home to evolve over time.

The full video is typically available to Slow Style Home subscribers. As a guest, Amy is sharing her access to the full episode as a gift to her community.

How much house do you actually need?

The Alder Tiny Home Plan is designed around the idea that a smaller footprint can still feel comfortable, functional, and intentional.

At 1,000 square feet, the plan includes:

• 2 bedrooms
• 1.5 bathrooms
• A single-level layout
• Open-concept living
• Smart storage
• Flexible space for guests or working from home

The Alder can work as a primary residence, a downsizing home, or an ADU.

For anyone considering building smaller, this is a good reminder that square footage isn't the only measure of how well a home works.

Would 1,000 square feet be enough for you?

Shopping for a house plan? Don't start with the front of the house. Start with how you live.

It's easy to fall in love with a beautiful exterior, a huge kitchen island, or a dramatic primary suite. But some of the details that make a home truly functional are much easier to miss when you're looking at a floor plan on a screen.

Before choosing a house plan, I recommend looking closely at:

• How the rooms flow together
• Where you'll get natural light
• How much storage is actually built in
• Whether the room proportions fit your lifestyle
• Whether the layout can adapt as your needs change

A good house plan should be more than beautiful, it should be a thoughtful starting point for the way you want to live.

What is the first thing you look for when reviewing a floor plan?

After years of designing fully custom homes through Amy Dutton Home, I started thinking about all the people who wanted something a little different.

Unfold is a new way to explore home design plans, find a plan that feels like you, and get the support you need along the way. And if you find a plan you love but want to make a few changes? We can talk about that, too.

This is more than a new website. It’s a new chapter in how I can help people create homes they love.

I’m so excited to finally share it with you.

Are you trying to decide on your future siding?
Boral is a great option. Shown here is the nickel gal option.
We are going to paint the siding a fairly similar color to the product Benjamin Moore Olympic Mountain #971 with some accents of Temptation #1609.

Contractors enjoy working with this product because it acts like wood but will perform like the composite product that it is.
Schedule a consultation and we can discuss your new siding options.
