I have been on a quest for a while now, to find a house I can call home; a more permanent home than I have had in a long time. I have been saving my money for the house of my dreams, not a mansion but a place I can call my own. There are a slew of potential problems with this as you might imagine; mostly, I’m picky with champagne taste on a beer budget. Now I know there are a lot of houses out there but I want to do this right or as right as I can.
One of the options I have looked into is building a small home so I can get the layout, look and space I want. Here is where it gets funny; I have some training in architecture from college, I love design but I have drawn so many floor plans its silly. I probably love them all. Each one is special and meets my needs and wants on a variety of levels but as soon as I am done with one I start thinking about another unique or interesting way to lay it out. Thus begins another design; my brain is trying to figure out a better way to save money, create something different or reflect another awesome design I saw in a magazine.
Because of my quirkiness, all of this is hinged on a place to write. This is so important to me I always make one room specifically for this. The newest version is an amazing room, an almost tiny room lined with bookshelves, a tall ceiling and a view. Maybe it’s nothing new to have an ‘office’ but to have a place that is conducive to being creative is a major desire. I will finally be able to get the voices out of my head and onto paper where they belong.
