Because A Girl Can Dream

Wednesday, July 14, 2010 Posted by Mary , 8 comments
This is my parents' fault. They bought a piece of land for me in a subdivision in this neat part of town... so of course, what is there for me to do but dream about building a house?

Yes, I want a house. I'm 26, single, only working part-time (still studying Masters), and I cannot even afford to rent a house--much less build one, but I want a two-storey house complete with a two-car garage, 4 bedrooms, and 3 toilets + 1 bath.

I want the house to be all white in a somewhat modern Pueblo Revival style. Something like this:



I pretty much want everything to be simple, but since I love cooking, the kitchen has to be super pretty!




The second floor is gonna have a terrace, and that's where 3 of the 4 rooms are going to be. There's going to be a lounge area to do fun stuff in, and I'd need a library for all my books! Of course, most of the perks should be in the master's bedroom, so it has to have a bath and a huge walk-in closet!



It's crazy because I already have the entire floor plan mapped in my head. But with the job I have now, there is just no way I can pull this off without a loan or without my parents' help. I know it's impossible at the moment, but I'm kinda grateful I have this fixation of having a house of my own. Weird as it may sound, I've never wanted to achieve or acquire anything for myself in the past, so I think this is a good sign. At least it's something that can occupy my mind, so I don't keep thinking about, uh... other things. Hehehe.
