I want to live in so many different types of homes. Lord help the man I ever marry (sigh- another blog that may soon be written), because I want to try some many different options. This fact, I think, adds to why I have wanderlust. Different places offer different things and why not try them all...
On a visit to see my brother and his wife in Boston, we were driving down a street near their home and I asked them to point out their ideal home if they saw it. They quickly responded with "that one," pointing to a two story, modest home with a porch and a fence. Jaime's family, my sister-in-law, has lived in the same home her entire life and I may be incorrect but it is also the home, or near the home where her grandparents lived. This is their ideal – buy a house and stay there forever.
I, on the other hand, looked across the street and said, "I want that one." I pointed to one which was a old store front that had been converted into a home. I love the a-typical living space. A home that doesn't necessarily appear to be a home. Do I always want to live in that? No. Is it my ideal? Yes. No. I don't know.
I would love to live in:
- a little cottage
- an old barn
- a highrise apartment
- a loft with one main room and exposed brick
- a house with a porch
- and more...
- a tree house in a jungle
- a house boat
So I saw these pictures today on Design*Sponge. I love the idea of this. The couple turned an old plane hanger in Germany into a home. Would I live in this particular space? Well, can I live on the patio? Because I want to. But, I'll leave the rest I think.
