Your mother asks (or you ask) each of the family members to help with the design by sketching the ideal floor plan, label the rooms and what is needed in the new home. Make sure you include the:

  1. necessary rooms for the house like the kitchen, living room, bedroom (you are limited to no more than 3 bedrooms),
  2. inner yard
  3. basic furniture items in each space and what their location will be
  4. colors scheme for each room
