They are from the Arthur  TV series main model pack. Please be lenient  how you regard  the scale of the room sizes though. They aren't accurate like an architect blueprint. It's more of a map that the storyboard artists and designers follow when doing a drawing. For example if the character is in the den and he needs to look to the front door then he knows it won't be possible without going to another room or setting the scene other than the den.
There are a lot of idiosyncracies and errors as well because often the houses where intended to be used in one show and then the character comes back again and you need the kitchen or a closet in the room then they need a door to go to the backyard but there wasn't one. It also needs to relate to exterior in some regards such as windows and slanted ceilings. So you end up getting a pretty weird hybrid house after a few seasons. Buster's house is  odd with his staircase placement for example and how do you get to his backyard from inside.

Note on Arthur's house where the stairs are compared to the front door.
