No problem! Check out one of the old books filled with floor plans by Gustav Stickley. It should include not only the plans themselves, but passages about the "why" of certain features and design choices. No need for you to totally reinvent the wheel when there's affordable inspiration out there by historical masters :) I think you'll enjoy it!
I think one of the key takeaways from his designs is that he creates a lot of open spaces, but ALSO includes very thoughtful nooks and private little alcoves within his layouts as well. Then you get that feeling of spaciousness, but turn a corner and cozy up next to a fireplace in relative privacy as well. Here is a sampling. I really like House 104 on page 24. Everything is open and connected like you want, while still creating the effect of separate spaces just by the way it's laid out.
Also, the owner of this site is actually a Redditer and I'm sure could adapt one of his plans to a more modern aesthetic very affordably.
