Describe Your Dream House

I am currently learning French and taking virtual classes with students around the country. I took French classes in middle school, high school, and one week at university before dropping the class for a science credit. I would consider myself “intermediate beginner,” knowing just enough to speak in full sentences, but sounding similar to a toddler.

One of our class assignments was to describe our current homes using prepositions of place like “Mon ordinateur est sur le bureau,” or “La salle de bain est à côté de la chambre.” The following week, we were asked to describe our dream homes. Where they were located, what they looked like, and what they would have inside.

As an interior designer, this got me thinking; what is my dream home?

I see so many houses, in various states of construction. Some brand new, some being renovated. Some that have been in the family for generations, and some that the owners consider temporary homes for 5 years, max.

I see mid-century, contemporary, traditional. I see large windows with magnificent views of the mountains, and others that look right into their neighbors house. Large yards with three stories and a 9-car garage. Mini, square houses with carports. Houses that are functioning well and have adequate storage. Houses that are in a constant state of rotating projects. Houses with only one bathroom!

When it comes right down to it, I don’t think I have a dream house. I like some spaces because they are complete, others because there is potential. There are quite a few design styles that I like, but would I want that style or color or finish in my own house? I’m not entirely sure.

So today, I want you to describe your dream house. Does it have a pool in the backyard, or a vegetable garden, or both! Do you have a Dutch door painted Cotswold’s blue. Will you have all white furniture that never gets stained? Leave a comment, and let’s dream together!
