My dream house would not be considered anything really special to someone else, but it is the house that I really want and am working towards. It's not a huge house, in fact, it's not much larger than the house I am now. The difference is my husband and I plan to have it built and it will have the customizations that we want. There are several things that we found after we bought the house that we have (our first house) that does not really work for us. Our kitchen was not designed well, it has no basement, it's not open enough, storage is really limited, it's really dark (and makes me kinda depressed) and we had to give up the dining room to have a computer room. Don't get me wrong, I am VERY grateful to have a house, especially in this economy. I just hope in the next 5 years or so, that we can get a house that suits our wants and needs a bit better. We already have the house picked out. Like I said it is not a huge home by no means. The house would have 4 bedrooms, an open floor plan, a computer nook, a larger dinning room and kitchen, possibly a sun room, and best of all a basement! I can think of a lot of possibilities with a basement. I would love to have a theater room (ha! ha!), a school room (we homeschool), an exercise room, a game room and an office, but of course, I am probably dreaming a bit there! lol!!! My poor hubby hates to do handyman type work, so I could only imagine his reaction if I asked him to build all of that! lol!!! This page is to help me keep all of my ideas strait. I also hope it will help others with their goals for their home.

Home Design Software

Home design software is an awesome way to see how your house will look and whether you will like the updates before you spend a lot of money. Many of the programs can show you how your house will look, how certain lighting will look, what the paint will look like like, how your garden will look, ect.

Larger Dining Room!

The new house will have a larger dining room that will be used as a dining room. Right now, our dining room is the computer room.

Home Theater

Ok, this may be a stretch for us, but if we are ever able to have a home theater, this is the type of seats I want.

This would be really nice to have in the master bedroom! It's like having a mini office! Then you can just shut the doors and hide all of the mess.

Building a House

Guides that could help you build your new home.

New Couch?

We didn't buy a great quality couch when we had to buy one. Our boys are very rambunctious and it seemed like we would be throwing away money if we spent a lot. By the time we get a new house, we will probably need a new couch.

My dream house would be in a remote area with a lot of visual appeal outside and environmentally friendly home decor items inside. There would also be a big porch.

Our dream house, would have to have a very private lot
with tons of trees, but still in our city and close to the hospital.

And also , it would be better if it was one floor with finished basement.

Great idea for a lens.

Nice lens and this has some interesting ideas for a dream house. 5*****.

I think our dream house would have an office for all our paperwork and main computer etc, then we would use our laptops wherever we needed throughout the house.

We would have a living room with leather recliner couches, and a large television with home theatre system, so we could really enjoy watching movies together. The master bedroom would have a large en-suite bathroom, with room to move, and twin walk in closets for our clothes too.
