| Thirteen Things I'd Like to Have in OUR House SomedaySometimes it feels as though we just don't have a "home", moving so often and spending all these years in places that belong to someone else. Pete and I do a good deal of dreaming about what OUR house will look like--his ideas are pretty out-there, but mine are a tad more 'practical'. 1.A nice, wide front porch complete with several rockers and obligatory glasses of sweet tea on a table. 2.A kitchen that works--cabinets whose doors stay attached, drawers that don't fall out, and a stove that doesn't cut off halfway through making a pot of spaghetti. 3.Garbage disposal!!!! 4.A dining room big enough to hold a BIG table and have enough room to move everyone around it instead of squishing our amply-sized hineys between a wall and a chair as we try to get to the other side of the table we can't all sit at. 5.A master bathroom. We've had this ONCE, and it was heavenly. 6.Bedrooms that actually have enough space for real-life furniture. 7. COLOR on the walls! 8.A garage. Pete needs a place for his "stuff" desperately. 9.A room dedicated to computer/office/crafting stuff. I have grown increasingly weary of having the computer and all of my craft supplies in the main living space. I can't overcome clutter if we can't put things away!!! 10.Separate rooms for mingling with guests and watching TV. A living room AND a family room would be wonderful! 11.A grill area in the backyard with a sitting area for us adults. I REALLY miss that. 12.TREES (ok, maybe not IN the house, but you get the idea) 13.My own little space. We have never had enough room for me to have a little sitting area all my own for a nice comfy chair and a bookshelf. It's frivolous, it's selfish, and I would LOVE it!
