My Dream House Tour

I have moved blogs! Check out my most updated content at happilyhedy.com.
I thought a post like this would be fun, and I’ve been wanting to do this for a while. I’ve dabbled around with different styles of homes, and honestly, it’s pretty hard to settle on one choice for everything. But here it is, without further ado…my dream house!
Exterior
Essential elements:
Column entryway: to add a majestic feeling to the entry
Double doors
Traditional, yet castle-esque
Landscaping:
I love Japanese-style gardens, so my yard will be based on this style.
pond with bridge
other water fountains/features
lots of small shrubs
Entryway
Essential Elements:
Open concept to keep the space welcoming
Open to above ceiling to keep the majestic feel consistent
Spiral staircase with huge window complex and grand piano (Steinway & Sons probably-for the piano)
Living Room
At this point into my “dream home searching”, I realized that jeez, I’ve got expensive old-lady taste! Like, compared to the minimalist and cute trends for teens or young adults these days, mine are nothing like it! Maybe it’s because I’m thinking of the ultimate dream home that I will end up owning in my life. Anyways… XD
Essential Elements:
Open to above (high ceilings)
Huge windows to complement the high ceiling
Full floor-to-ceiling fireplace
I don’t really like the rug and blue couch in the photo up there, I’d probably change it to this:
Here’s my youngness coming back, lol.
Kitchen
This kitchen did a good job combining modern and traditional styles-something I’d like to have in mine. (Except that rug, haha!)
Essential Elements:
I love baking, so my kitchen would need a huge pantry, fridge, and fancy ovens, all the works.
In my childhood homes, I always had a window by the sink, so I’m still sticking with that.
An island for entertaining.
Master Bedroom
Essential Elements:
Huge windows or a balcony to stick with the open feeling (this will also help wake me up in the morning)
Sitting area or couch (for reading)
I also like the accent wall in this bedroom

Master Bathroom
Wow, there’s a lot of white in this house!
Essential elements:
Marble for a high-end feeling
Windows to keep it well-lit
Still don’t know how I feel about the glass shower though…
Master Walk-in Closet
Essential Elements:
Floor-to-ceiling mirror
Seat/island in the middle of the closet
Kids’ Bedrooms
Office
Essential Elements:
I definitely need a nice quiet space to work in, so a home office is a must!
Sleek wooden desk (not a rustic one)
Windows (and fancy lamps) for optimum lighting
Library
Essential Elements:
A cozy reading spot (not those cushions though)
Window that looks out to natural area. I mean, what’s better than nature and books?
Plenty of bookshelves for all my books
Extras
Swimming pool:
I think a modern-style pool in the backyard would be really nice since I love swimming. And it’s like a mini-getaway when you can’t actually go to a resort.
Gym/Yoga Studio:
To get that zen mode on!
