Mindy, I like your list. I've been thinking about this one for a long time, and Adam and I could probably do a top 10 list for things we plan to do with just the kitchen when we have a house. Here are some plans I have for a house when we can finally buy one ...
1 - Turn the front living room into the library. I doubt we'll have enough bedrooms to use one as a library, so I'll just use the living room. Floor to ceiling bookshelves with every kind of book, travel mementos, and framed pictures. In the middle of the room will be 2 or 3 comfy chairs (no couch) with a table and reading lamps.
2 - Have a piano, probably in the family room which will be our living area, since the usual living room will be the library.
3 - Have an herb garden in a large window in the kitchen.
4 - Have a pantry that's not just a closet or big cupboard, but an entire room.
5 - Have a patio just outside the kitchen with a grill and table and chairs, kind of an outdoor dining room.
6 - Have a lot more pictures on the walls throughout the house than we have now, and original works by the artists Mindy Palmer, Laurel Palmer, and James Caudle that we purchase in their art galleries.
7 - Have a porch swing, either on the front or back of the house, just so I can sit outside and read sometimes.
8 - Paint Summer and Rosemary's room purple and yellow. It's solid pink right now (varying shades of it, but all pink) and by then, we will all probably be tired of pink.
9 - Have an office with all the computer stuff and paper storage (so it's all out of my bedroom), and have a futon in there so it can double as a guest room as needed.
10 - NO work or storage stuff in the master bedroom. That's what the office and/or library are for. Only our bed, our clothes, a couch or chair so we can read, and nice things like candles and framed pictures and our beach sand collection (it's in little jars). It will be our comfy sanctuary, not where we work.
