Blue Skying it!
While every day at Chez Vel-DuRay is like a day in paradise, there are certain things that I wish I had in a house that we don't have here. This comes strictly under the heading of whiny baby, because we are very fortunate to have our house, but it's fun to dream about things like this. Sometimes it's more fun that actually having the things.
So here is my list of the things I'd like to have in a house that I don't currently have here. (I say "I" because my views do not necessarily represent the opinions of all residents of Chez Vel-DuRay, some of whom lean rather heavily toward the "hotel" - albeit luxury hotel - look. It's a constant struggle)
The List:
* "Cathedral Ceiling" with nice big exposed beams that some lunkhead has not painted at one point
* Flagstone entry
* Front door with doorknob in center (impractical and prone to breaking, but this is a dream list after all)
* Gas cooktop in fun color with double wall ovens.
* Central Vacuum System
* Carport!
* Freestanding staircase (Like the Bradys!)
* Guesthouse with freestanding fireplace
* Outdoor brick barbeque
* "Powder Room"
* A niced big storage room for all my "implements for entertaining".
* Florida Room!
* Huge sectional sofa (Not one of those tacky ones with cupholders and footrests, but a real classy-type one, up on little legs. You know what I mean)
* A spiral staircase someplace
* Master bath with everything tiled in pink or blue, and a cute little tiled shower.
...and it goes on and on. What's on YOUR list?

I have a strange feeling Martha Stewart has some beautiful photography in her housekeeping handbook? Is that the catalyst for the list? : )
My Wish List:
- Upstairs bathroom
- The exterior of the house painted a rich dark color (forest green? midnight blue? barn red?) with lush landscaping that pops with color because of the rich house paint
- Front porch with tall landscaping for semi-privacy from the street
- A kitchen with a large picture window above the sink for daydreaming while washing dishes, and to let light flow in while I'm baking on the weekend
- French doors that open from our TV/relaxing room out to a deck built for entertaining during the summer in the backyard
A girl can dream, right?
