As I've mentioned before, sometimes I wonder whether flyers are good or evil.  Having concluded, at least for the time being, that they are good --- I do take some extra time to try to make them as information-packed as possible.  One part of flyer creation that I particularly enjoy is creating floor plans to give a passerby a solid understanding of the space and layout of a home.  Below you'll see what these floor plans start as --- a very rough sketch as I measure the house.  (click on the image for an enlarged version)



Then, the fun begins --- as I re-create the floor plans on the computer to provide a more visually pleasing layout. (again, click the image for an enlarged version)



The floor plans above are actually my first attempt at representing some of the exterior features (sidewalk, landscaping, fence) of a house.  I did so for this particular home (1027 Stuart Street) because the owners have made such wonderful improvements outside the boundaries of the house --- a large patio, extensive flower beds and garden area, a hammock terrace, a solar-powered water feature, solar-powered landscaping accent lights, a fire pit and a storage building, all in a large, flat backyard enclosed with low-maintenance composite fencing.  See for yourself --- view photos of this home on Flickr.
