I want a home with statue fountains in the garden. Bay windows furnished with comfortable seating. A true fireplace with a functional brick chimney. Walls split in half, the bottom for wood and trim and the top half for gorgeous wallpaper. A library for all of my physical books I took so many pains to move with me from place to place all for this. It includes my candles, sconces, ornate desk, vinyls with record player, and windowed cubbies for reading.
The house will be made of brick, stone, and clay. Windows will have beautiful curtains and flower boxes. A porch will wrap around the house with seating to appreciate the landscape. It will be mostly one floor with maybe a half floor above for kids' rooms.
Oh yeah, the garden will also have a gazebo made of wood and ornate stone. A creek that weaves across the property, with a bridge to cross. At least one big, very climbable tree. Lots for fruits and veggies, herbs, plant dyes, fabric fibers, and beautiful flowers. Maybe there will be a horse and some sheep, a few dogs and a spoiled outdoor cat. Chickens for eggs and meat, the geese, goats, and rabbits mostly as pets.
Everything will be colored for the spring, but occasionally I will forget and add in the bright summer, pondering autumn, and merry winter shades. The house will be colorful, and its primary neutral will be the rich and lively brown. I will only accept gray and green otherwise (no black and white). Even the outside of the house will appreciate color. Wood will be equally prevalent to stone. Maybe I will even have a small orchard of sorts if possible. But I want a cottage, I want comfortable, cozy, and real. Something that came from the past because everything today is so overwhelming yet so empty.
