You Know What?

I wish I had more windows. Yep, I want to tear down the entire east side of our apartment and put in walls of glass, (not gonna happen, we rent.) I can't believe how much I miss sunny mornings, bright afternoons, and saturated sunsets; I'm sure they're still out there, but we can't see them through the cold, brick walls. This has brought me to start a list of things I must insist on for our next house:

  1. Windows, lots of them, especially on the east and south sides of the house. Double-paned, Low E, Argon gas-filled. The whole kit and caboodle. (This will be my dream house, because it will probably remain in my dreams.)
  2. A yard with growing space. Meaning a large yard in which I can grow lots and lots of plants and still have lots of grass for the little kiddos.
  3. I would prefer having wood flooring. Actually, I don't want real wood, as strange as it may seem; I would like to have the laminate wood paneling because it can look as refined, but it's way easier to clean-up and maintain (and replace, if necessary.)
  4. Recessed lighting. After seeing our friends' new lighting, mmmm..... Stacia like.
  5. I'm sure I could go on and on... but this will be the last one for today: a butler. I want a butler who can say "Sorry ma'am, she's not here"... even when I am, so I can stay in my pajamas all day long.

I love it- so many of those are on my list but I've also included a real big kitchen!! Someday Stacia, we'll be there- a real house and maybe you can even have a butler! :)

I completely understand about the windows. Going from our house that had lots of windows to the apartment is a weird adjustment to say the list. I want a maid more than a butler though :)

i love the photo montage! After living with hardwood for a year and a half, I dream of carpet (in at least half my house).

You crack me up!!! I want a butler too, so he can bring me hot chocolate in bed on cold mornings. Oh and if you want lots of windows and sun...Arizona is the place. Because it's so sunny here all the houses have lots of BIG windows and I don't want to brag but-it's sunny and 70 degrees today. Seriously, move to Arizona!!
