How nifty is this? Download Squad (which is an awesome blog, by the way) has pointed out FloorPlanner.
This free application takes the pencil, drafting table, and the $150/hr architect out of the equation and lets everyday people create and play around with floor plans online. Floor plans are simple to create with a feature rich toolset of drawing tools and household items to place on plans. Users start off by creating living space walls, choosing flooring material, adding doors and windows, and dropping in furniture and electrical outlets. Walls can be moved, colors changed and furniture moved all with a simple click until the perfect plan is set.
This would have been handy before I moved - or even for small libraries thinking of moving a few things around.

And those are just real-life applications. I’m thinking it might have been helpful laying out buildings on our Second Life library plot too!
That is an awesome idea!!
