No dimmers, trying to keep it simple. 1 switch controls one set of lights, instead of 2 switches controlling the same lights, again trying to keep it all simple.

Booga, what exactly are you looking for? Circuiting with homeruns, receptacle and lighting layout in CAD?

I could draw something for you (for a small fee), if you have a CAD plan. Shoot me an email and we can talk it over.

Eta: Of course I get down voted for offering.

Have you worked with electrical before? Do you know/understand the principles involved? Safety is paramount in working with electrical, so if you're uncomfortable or unfamiliar, get an electrician involved.

I don't think you'll have much issue doing your work, provided you are familiar with this type of work. You can layout and plan your circuits, which boxes, what size wire, where they are pulled to, etc. Just make sure you verify every component you put in. There's some nuances to code but for the most part it's pretty simplified for what you're installing.

I'm planning to pull all the wire and electrical for my house. I'm laying out and designing each circuit right now.

Yes, I'll need 3 GFI outlets, any plug within 3 feet of water I believe is the code.

Within 6' of the edge of a sink/basin.

You also need more receptacles. No part of a wall can be more than 6' of a receptacle. So take a door, go 6' and you need a receptacle. If it's a long enough wall, you would then go 12' to the next receptacle (6' extending from one receptacle + 6' from the other).

Make sure that the light above the bathtub is wet location listed.

Countertop sections (i.e. split up by a sink, oven/range, etc...) greater than 2 feet need a receptacle.

You need TWO "small appliance circuits" serving the kitchen. If the lengths of the countertops lead to you having two countertop receptacles, you will need to supply each from a different circuit. The fridge can be powered by one of those two circuits, but be careful of what you put on the same circuit. A fridge compressor kicking on while you've got something like a Keurig heating up on the same circuit may be enough to trip the breaker, though you'd probably be OK.

*Your layout picture isn't showing up anymore, so I'm speaking from what I remember from what I saw around lunch time. A decent electrician should know what I posted, though.
