Making the hearth, I just created a base cabinet at the right size and made the ‘counter top’ smooth stones, and the cabinet ‘finish’ as stone to match the rest fireplace definition – it doesn’t look 100%, but it looks fantastic.

My fireplace is full height rock with an oak mantel and a flat-stone hearth. Mostly, if something doesn’t exist, they give you the tools to make it. Like making a mirrored or glass cabinet door with no ‘lites’ or a full-height cabinet with only glass on the top doors.

There are some things I don’t yet know how to do, have poked around a little but not dug in deep. I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface – but I really love using the program, it is engaging and fun to use and infinitely adjustable. I have a lot of custom cabinetry which are not standard, or cookie cutter -and after a little experimenting changing the shape and door/drawer layout is a breeze. Example, I did not know how to put just a counter top with no cabinet – that was clearly explained, and easy to find in the help facility. When I opened the plans I was working on, the program let me know it had a more recent version than the last one I saved on my own.įiguring out how to do things is a breeze using the Chief Architect web site.

For example my computer rebooted after an OS update. I’ve spent many hours in the program making complicated layouts and it has never frozen or crashed, and quietly makes backup’s. I’m impressed with the stability of the program. I’m amazed at how easy it is to put together a plan of my existing home – which is absolutely perfect, with relative ease – which is an absolute must, before I then add that new level, based on the existing layout. I tried several options – including one that was about the same $$ as Home Designer Suite. I’m doing an addition to my home – a new level over the garage. Also very engaging/rewarding & fun to use. Powerful, Intuitive and very easy to learn.
