things i want to have in my own home, if i ever get to buy/build one:


  • library. oh yessssssss. a roomful of books. it would be nirvana. the light will not be too harsh even though it will be my reading space. it's going to be kinda ambient. warm light. a window for sunshine. and all the walls will be hidden behind bookshelves. the room will be carpeted. a comfy chair or two, and a long beanie chair that will accommodate my full height lying down. of course it will have AC, but i prolly won't use it much, 'cept on really hot days.
  • a big art studio. well, not really big, but a full room just for art. it will have a table, not necessarily a drawing table, just a plain one with good surface texture, and at the right height for me to comfortably draw on it for hours. huge floor space for when i want to paint something big and heavy, or if i want to carve, or just if i need the space, maybe for when i spray small stuff. then the walls will have hanging shelves full of instruments, inspiration, pictures, anything that would fit. but the paints will be stored in a special cabinet just for paints. where the paints wouldn't dry up and be wasted, or get exposed to light. again, a window, to let out smells. haha. the chair will have a comfy seat, but a wooden back, so i wouldn't lose myself in its comforting arms while i'm drawing. no AC this time, just a ceiling fan that doesn't blow wind too strongly, so my papers wouldn't fly off. toooooons of brushes. toooooons of crafting instruments - needles, chisels, palette knives, a hammer or two, screws, glue, etc etc. a sound system, maybe an mp3 player dock or summin. lovely.
  • my room. it will be the most comfy space in the world. AC of course, haha. pretty thick blanket, but not a comforter. i think a single bed would do. a cabinet for my clothes. a table with a table light, for writing stuff, maybe journal entries, or short stories, or recording dreams. it will also have my PC. hmm. the table will be long to accommodate my writing space and PC, and a printer. just a small one, bond paper printer. window of course. a full length mirror. oh, a little side table by my bed, with a night light, for reading myself to sleep. a wall-mounted LCD screen, just the right size, not too large.
  • a magnificent bathroom. oh man. this CANNOT not be there. pooper's just a normal pooper. sink  will just be a plain white bowl-shaped one, but it should be put on some sort of... umm... "table". lol. this flat surface will have my soap, toothbrushes, facial wash, a sponge maybe. but the bath. the bath will be the star. on one side, a shower, with glass walls, glass sliding door. the shower head will be that one with full blast, spray, rainfall, etc etc. though i also do want that thing where the water sprays from the sides, so i don't know if the glass walls will work haha. if not, i think i'll choose the water sprays over the glass walls. i don't want floors/walls that are, like, slippery stuff. marble and such, just no. concrete sounds like a good idea tho, but it might just grow moss. i dunno yet. one wall will have my liquid soap and shampoos. sponges. head caps maybe? or not. that's it. and then on one side, there will be a bath tub. no, not a jacuzzi. just a tub. water temp can be controlled. it's going to be a round one, so i can lie in fetal position on the tub floor even for just a small moment. ahh. oh, and it will be connected right by my bedroom.
  • kitchen. i don't really have an ideal kitchen. i'm not a kitchen geek lol. i don't know kitchen stuff very much. but, i do want it to be a busy sort of place. i don't want it to be the sort where spilling a bit of soy sauce will make me scream HOLY FUCKING SHIT CLEAN THAT MESS UP IT WILL WRECK THE WHITE ON MY MILLION DOLLAR OVEN. ugh, no. i don't want it like that. i want it to be homey and comfy, and busy, and smell of delicious delicious heavenly home-made foods. good light sources too, not the glaring sort, just the sort where you can actually see what you're doing. the dining table will also be there, or maybe just a breakfast bar. either is okay, but i do want it to be a personal sort, not a social sort of table with 6-8 chairs all around. 4 is enough. the kitchen will lead to the backyard, for washing and hanging clothes.
  • a sofa will prolly be placed along the front/entrance part of the house. it won't be for taking in dozens of people. it will just be for, maybe 6 people, just to meet up, chat, have a few drinks but not enough to get woozy. hmm. i dunno what to put in it actually. i'm not much a fan of having an entertainment system in the "receiving room".
that's about it.
i want a cat in my house. hahaha. yes.
ah. dream home. still a dream.
