We have a unique 50 year old house that was built without a front door. We’d like to put a door in, and it’ll probably have to go in the kitchen (but where?), the kitchen is too small as it currently is, so we’re going to move the first floor bathroom somewhere else (but where?). We need help figuring out what our final floorplan should be, and how to do these reno’s in stages while still maintaining some order in a 5 family household.

Does anybody know where I might find (free) help in coming up with a new layout? Perhaps some school of designing genius’s that do this kind of thing as a learning exercise??? (I’m hoping).

We’ll be doing most of the actual work ourselves (we have friends and family that are carpenters and brick layers), so it’s not like we can get design help included as part of a renovation contract.
