I want to live in a cozy little 2-storey cottage. It will be facing the meadow and at the back of it will be the woods or forest. It is solar-powered and a generator is used at night.
Exterior
The place must experience the 4 seasons: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. So therefore, it must have a chimney and Santa should be able to squeeze himself into it. The fireplace should be made out of those old-fashioned clay bricks. The roof is made of those hard clay things and the structure is triangular in shape.
Near my house is a lake. During winter it will freeze and I’ll go skating in it when I feel like it! Beside my house is a small little pond where lilies and lotus float. And there will be those famous floating big leaves that frogs hop unto.
There will be a rose garden in the front yard and even though I hate vegetables I will have a vegetable garden at side of the house. My children have to eat vegetables in addition to their healthy diet whether they like it or not. Good thing I am already master in cooking by that time so they will be begging for it anyway… no sweat! 
The wooden fence that surrounds the house is only 3 feet tall and the edges are not sharp and it is painted with a pastel color. Along with it will be planted with sunflowers. There will be a nice mailbox in the door gate that is similar to the ones I saw in the movie “Little Women”
Interior
Living Room
During Christmas, I will have a pine tree that is freshly cut from the woods and it will be placed near the fireplace. It will be adorned by Christmas decors or just anything that I could think of. I shall take note to remember to decorate it with those talked-about gold & silver spider webs. There will be lots of gifts under the tree of different sizes and shapes that are personally chosen and wrapped by me for all my relatives and friends. I will also include little souvenir gifts for passers-by. There will always be a big bowl full of sweets for Christmas carolers. Big Christmas socks are hung in the fireplace and they are filled with toys and goodies. There will be an empty sack for Santa in case he drops in.
The fireplace is in the living room (the other one is in the kitchen which is small, btw) and the room floor will be covered with oriental carpets with their intricate designs to match. Oh, I also want to have a head of a dead deer in the wall above the fireplace if it’s okay… By the way, somewhere in the walls is a framed autograph of Akira Toriyama (creator of Dragonball/Z)
I will change curtains every change of season in accordance to its theme. Like during spring I might want to have pastel curtains with flowery designs. I will draw the designs for each season and put it here if ever I have the time, ok?
Bedrooms (2nd floor)
The second floor has four rooms. They are not so big and the walls in the corridor have shelves full of books categorized from top to bottom. I can’t have a library because there is no enough space!
The master bedroom is in the right wing. It will have its own bathroom and it shall have a tub of course and the bathroom tiles have drawings in it. I would like to have a built-in TV inside or sound system but I find it extravagant. I can always bring my music player and those little speakers inside, eh? So I’ll make sure there is an outlet in the bathroom! I don’t want to waste money on unnecessary things even if I am already a millionaire by that time.
The room connected next to will be a studio-office-museum. This one will be much bigger. This is not a mansion so I have to make use of the space wisely. This is a three-in-one room. It is where I paint and do some art stuff and it will also serve to house some of my finished artworks, some of my collections and also of my husband’s if ever he has one. It will be displayed in a glass shelf directly connected to the wall from top to bottom. The other collections are displayed in the living room by the way. In one corner of the room is a desk with many drawers and beside it is a still cabinet where we put important documents in. On top of it is a safety deposit box. That corner will serve as our “office”.
Attic & Basement
There will be an attic where the old stuff is put. It is also where my children play when it is too cold to play outside. There, they will tell stories, play hide-&-seek, role play, or anything they could just think of. I am still thinking of having a basement… Oh yeah, I should have. It will serve as storage and also where the tools and equipments are kept, and or perhaps where my husband’s wine collection is placed (if ever he has one or whatever collection he will have)
Communication & Transportation
There will be a state-of-the-art computer with unlimited internet access and other unlimited whatsoever. I will only have to pay subscription annually. Probably I would have something like Intel Centrino or whatever is latest by that time. Unfortunately, there will be no telephone coz there are no telephone lines in the woods, but good thing there will be a satellite phone! I will have no car coz there are no big roads in the meadow or in the woods. If ever I have a car, I‘d likely to accidentally run over a rabbit or a deer, no! So better not have one… I will only have a helicopter and a hot balloon. I will buy a bike too.
Animals
For pets, I will have a kitten, a puppy, a turtle, and a piglet! They will grow together and become best friends forever. The kitten, piglet and puppy stays inside the house while the turtle can stay inside or outside in the pond! The kitten will grow into a big lazy cat; the dog will be faithful and serve as guardian when we are asleep. The turtle will see us grow old. The pig when it dies I will give it a decent funeral… Anyway, I am still thinking whether we would eat the pig or just bury it…After all, he has been our pet, hmmm?
To be Continued...
*~*~*
I didn’t put some of the details like how many windows or the location of the lamp shades are coz it might take you until tomorrow to finish reading this. I will be constantly updating this entry for I haven’t written about some things about the kitchen and some of the bedrooms. I'll put mure details to some parts too. I know I forgot some! I remember many things too but I’m now too lazy to write it. I’ll just update this entry from time to time, ok!!
