I like to day dream about my dream house. I have been planning all the things I want in it since I was 14 years old! I thought I would immortalize my ideas in one spot. They have been jotted down in various areas around the house- my journal, the back of some power point slides from an old perio lecture, the recipe box...ect ect.
Here are the main items:
- One main floor. I might possibly go for a basement for a game room. But I really HATE stairs.
- A FLAT driveway
- Big windows. (I hate dark places. I want my house to have LOTS of light) This brings me to my next dream...
- Privacy. A house in the sticks might be alright after all (either that or have my house far back on a big lot with lots of trees to block the from the prying eye). I don't want those big windows to be a waste. I want to be able to have the curtains open all the time with out worrying about creep-o's checking out my house!
- Enough Closets. Big closets.
- A nice coat closet by the front door with enough room for shoes, scarves, umbrellas, coats, hats.
- Linen closets in every bathroom
- One in the laundry room to hold all my cleaning supplies
- Another one for seasonal items that you want to access without having to go in the attic...
- While I am at it, how about a nice walk in closet in every bedroom?
- A 'folding station' in the laundry room. i.e.- enough counter space that I don't have to fold laundry in ANY other room in the house. (one of my friends told me that this idea is silly and I don't need a folding station, just a maid if my house is going to be this big...lol)
- A wrap around porch. With a swing.
- A kitchen with an island. And enough counters to store everything in. I don't want my toaster to not have a home and be stuck out on the counter.
- 2 sinks in the master bathroom. And tons of counter space.
- Did I mention big windows?
- Master bedroom- far, far away from the others. So far that if I turned off the baby monitor there would be a ZERO% chance of me having to hear a someone who wants a party in their room with mommy at 3 AM.
- Work out room
- Game room/movie room
- Office
- Formal Living room when you enter the house. With my grand piano. (dream on...huh...)
- Covered Porch in backyard.
- Fenced in backyard
- Basketball court in backyard
- Flower Garden
- Veggie Garden
- 3 car garage (big enough to open the doors and not be hitting the walls, possibly big enough to open doors and get in the garage if I was carrying a child or carseat or stroller.)
- Lots of grass in the backyard.
- Vaulted ceilings. (I didn't say I was practical)
- Master bedroom with a reading nook. I want a bay window to sit in and enjoy the sunshine and a good book.

Maybe I missed it, but a huge pantry for food storage. Organized food storage. And maybe a nanny for the kids, a cook to make healthy meals for you, and a landscaper to take care of all that landscaping maintenance. ;)
My sister and I made a list like this on Google docs. We have almost the same list! :)
Can I live with you? Pretty please!
