Design your dream house in words

in one word: sunny
two: sunny and trees
three: sunny, trees, and cozy
four: sunny,trees, cozy, and inviting



  • I want a LOT of windows, and would not mind living in a place that was so surrounded by trees that I did not have to close the blinds, although I would so I was not in a fish bowl! 



  • I want trees, I love southern trees, but I just want a lot of trees. 
  • I would like a jetted tub that had a fabulous view. 
  • Since we are dreaming, I would put in a sound system, high quality and able to have music, and talking to one another from room to room. 
  • I want a huge shower with a bench and swash and waterfall shower head overhead, and a stationary shower head where a normal one would go and a detachable one by bench. (this of course would require dual water heaters that feed into one another so it is always warm). 
  • I want wood floors in main areas. 
  • I want a huge master closet and bedroom big enough to have a sitting area and fireplace. 
  • I want a fireplace in the den/family room. 
  • I want a very nice modern kitchen that I will never use!
  •  I want a big pantry and a separate closet for vacuum, broom, and cleaning products off of the laundry room. 
  • I would like a table/island/counter for folding in the laundry room, and a hanging area with a heater vent so they will dry quicker. 
  • I used to want 2 dryers and 2 dishwashers as there was never enough time without  those, however, even with 2 of us here when Eva is in the hospital it is 2 weeks before we even have close to enough dishes to start a load! And 3 loads of laundry a week for me, so that hardly calls for 2 dryers. 
  • And I do want a one floor home - non negotiable if we are dreaming
  • I want a garage that I can drive into and go into the house thru the garage. 
  • I want a stand up deep freeze in the room for storage, next to pantry? part of pantry? 
  • I would like a guest room that is used for nothing but guests, stays nice, like the formal living room that is used for nothing but visitors that stays nice. 
  • I want a room for grandkids that visit. 
  • I would LOVE an atrium in my house, life and breath and just plain fun. 
  • I would love an enclosed patio. I love sitting on the porch/patio area but can only do it right after I purchase the chairs or when I hose them off because the thought of bugs keeps me from sitting on them. I want floor to ceiling windows in the patio sunroom that will open when the weather permits and closed to keep the air conditioner inside when not. 
  • Oh yeah, central air/heat. 
  • I would love a pool, at the least a lap pool, and I would love it to be enclosed but with a wall in windows that can open on the perfect day. 
  • of course the dream of having 50+ acres and having four houses on 10 acre lots, with sustainable business on one plot - the idea was a grocery store, and we could work a certain amount of hours for free supplies, and 8 plex or something similar on one plot for income and friends that need it. This dream comes with community garden/barn/horses etc/4 wheelers at each home to ride the property and for my grand kids to zip over to grandmas house! And a medical clinic for Ash to run that will be income and for us, same with herb store/health store/restaurant. but alas, this last one may be stretching it lol


I think that is it... sounds pretty awesome to me!
