It will fit my lifestyle, suit my personality and hold all my hopes and dreams for as long as I live in it.
First on the list is plenty of storage and book shelves. A place for everything and everything in its place. I don't want a lot of furniture to have to try to move and clean behind. I can think of much better things to do.
Old fashioned as it is to say, I sincerely believe the kitchen is the heart of a home. I want mine to have bright yellow curtains and plenty of windows to let the sunshine in. There will be soup simmering on the stove pretty much all the time. Also plenty of coffee and goodies ready for any visitors that decide to drop by.
Next on my list is my bedroom. The floor will be covered in old fashioned linoleum. The curtains will be soft so that they will billow when a breeze blows in the open window. The bed will be covered with a soft patchwork quilt. (the kind that is made to be used) The furniture will be shaker style and not much of it. I haven't picked a wall color yet. Warm apricots and earth tones probably would be my first choice.
In the bathroom there will be the kind of tub that is just right for a bubble bath complete with candles. (it should be big enough for 2) Also for practical reasons there would be a corner shower stall as well.
There would be as many window seats as possible in my home (they would open up and be cedar lined for storing things in) Blankets, linens and sweaters being at the top of the list. Again a place for everything.
It's harder to describe my vision than I thought it would be. The important part is that it should feel welcoming, cozy, and comforting. The kind of place you can kick off your shoes and rest in. Maybe it will only ever exist in my imagination and this blog. Perhaps though if I am patient someday it will be a reality.
