things i’d like my dream home to have

  • first of all, my dream is a white wooden farmhouse
  • a white whicker porch
  • a sunroom with wood floor to ceiling windows tall as the walls
  • a farmhouse sink and no dishwasher because there’s something about washing dishes by hand that i secretly like
  • a red barn, because i am cliche and love the romantiscm of it
  • chickens and maybe cows and possibly goats but no pigs
  • a long, homemade, wooden table, stained dark brown
  • a chalkboard wall in the kitchen
  • wood floors to dance on
  • a piano and maybe an old one as long as it’s in tune
  • windows that catch on fire from the setting sun
  • a grove of apple trees to call my orchard
  • a raspberry and blueberry and blackberry patches
  • a field and a wide open place to see the stars
  • a window to the roof that we can sneak out on and watch the sunset
  • a fireplace to snuggle by in the winter
  • a big willow tree and maple trees to make maple syrup with
  • a place to hang a hammock
  • bunk beds for my someday children
  • a schoolroom slash library to learn in
  • window seats in all the bedrooms
  • white dishes and wooden bowls
  • a huge garden and possibly a greenhouse with an old wooden shed
  • mason jars to drink out of
  • a small studio in a nook of he house with big windows and walls tacked with photos
  • open cabinets and kitchen shelves
  • artwork and words hanging on the walls
  • lots of homemade, wooden furniture
  • a bonfire pit in the back to roast s’mores and hot dogs and campfire by
  • a wooden swing on the porch
  • copper pots and cast iron skillets and various wonderful cooking items
  • wooden walls painted all sorts of colors (grey, white, blue, yellow, green)
  • a bed in a window nook
  • a yellow or a red or a blue front door
  • an island with stools to sit around
  • vine trellis’
  • only things that we (my family) love — simplicity
  • little to no media devices (a room set aside for a TV to watch movies — no cable)
  • an attic room
  • maybe turquoise chairs in the school room and a white wooden table
  • a big cushy couch and fun pillows
  • bookshelves
  • to be not just a house, but a home.

i know it’s a lot, but it’s my dream home, so it’s okay. :)
