Jay is very specific about the guy things, built in surround sound, outlets, the space needed for an office, a game room etc. I am very specific about two places in the house, kitchen and a creativity workshop.
I have visions of a beautiful yet fully functional kitchen. Marble topped island would be perfect for rolling out pastry doughs. A corner cabinet built to store my kitchen aid mixer and raise it up to the counter level. Drawers that make organizing those pesky plastic-ware items a breeze. There is this item I would like to have as a centerpiece to the kitchen. I think it is beautiful. It has double ovens and gas burners.
It just poses one problem... the fridge and dishwasher. Both would have to be stainless steel. What is the problem with that? Fingerprints. There is something that really bothers me about having visible fingerprints and with 3 kids, it's hard to keep up. I think it has something to do with being in a restaurant for most of my working life, but that is a whole other story to be tackled much, much later. I think it is unreasonable to expect the kids to stay out of the fridge. Maybe they could just wear white gloves in the kitchen! Ha! I crack myself up sometimes. Hopefully by the time we are ready to build, fingerprints will be a thing of the past.
My creativity workshop will probably have to be away from the house some. It doesn't need to be big. Hooks on the wall for yarn organization. A comfortable, cushy rocking chair. I need to have a workbench with a comfortable stool and a good light. I need a propane line, an oxygen line, and an industrial strength outlet (I'm not the technical one!). Don't let me forget ventilation! It's not a lot, but it's enough to allow me to have a spot to go to work on my creativity burps.
To the future!
Me and Jenny love reading your blog together:-)
