Every house (in my opinion) should have secret passage ways! Have I been stuck on the idea of secret passage ways for years now? Yes, I have, but there are so many things to do with secret passage ways. Think, hidden library, secret garden, mysterious office... the possibilities are endless! Have I managed to sell any of you on my dream-house design plans? I think I'm just continuing to selling myself on the topic!
I've been on this idea for a while now. While I know, the likely-hood of actually having secret passage ways in a house are slim, like I said earlier, I'm not yet to the dream-house stage of life. You know, after the first house and the dream everyone has after. Okay, I've never owned a house before, so I'm probably making up stories about this dream-house stage of life, but I have this feeling it's why my mom still looks on Zillow all the time! Am I right, or what?!?
Anyways.... I've figured if I want to have my ultimate dream house it's going to take a little bit of work. I'm still in the naive point of writing thinking that my first book will get me places, but who knows? In reality, I'm not looking for a super expensive house, just a little unique... which is why I have already enlisted one of my best friends (who wants to be an architect) to design my home for me.
I can imagine a little house in the woods, surrounded by a huge garden and tall trees. Of course, a nice porch to spend days reading and relaxing as well as hanging plants surrounding the rail. For some reason (probably the fact I grew up in Montana), I'm in love with a farmhouse styled house, which to me means a white kitchen. Oh, how I love the idea of a white kitchen! I would give up just about every crazy design in my house (except the porch...) for a white kitchen. Call me crazy, but it's dreammmmmy...
Snapping out of that fantasy and back into reality, I probably wouldn't give up numerous book shelves to get a white kitchen. I can already imagine all the walls with little crevices for my books. Those 60+ Nancy Drew books of mine need a home!
Out of curiosity, how crazy am I because I'm thinking of a tiny home? I suppose that's a thought for another day, but I don't really know how much space is really necessary. Just as long as I have enough room for whatever pet I end up with, all the books I collect along the way, and a nice kitchen :)
For now, I think I've moved on from the idea of living in a giant castle with my friends, but that idea's still drifting around in my brain :)
While this crazy realization of mine might not come to life, I find there's no harm in daydreaming about the fun, the fantastical, the impossible, and the in-between.
Have a great week!
