a house is more than a home

Sometimes I start imagining my future home... well, dream home.
{I think I get this from my mother and her ceaseless real estate browsing.}

It is so easy to see pictures of a beautiful home in a different city, state, or even country and imagine life being perfect. As if the house itself would push all problems and difficulties away. For the most part I've moved beyond the belief or desire for a real estate bandaid. However, I am genuinely excited for the day L and I have our own home.

maybe it will have lots of pretty molding and curvy hallways

a big beautiful kitchen

an inviting library for all our books
with comfy chairs to read and get lost in on rainy days

a bunk room for the kids
so they can have lots of slumber parties

a nice little pool
(that someone else would clean...)

and a treehouse out back, of course,
for adventuring and make believe.

Our lives will still be busy and we'll still have to grudgingly wash the dishes, fold laundry, and clean up after our kitties. But it will be our home to live and dream and love in.

Pssst!


I have a little secret to share...
I love tree houses and forts.
since I'm sort of afraid of the dark
and not super fond of bugs
I haven't told many people.

but when I'm in Barnes and Noble
by myself with a frappucino in hand
I like to head over to the photography and architecture section
and look at this book and all the others like it.

I dream of someday having a house
with a big, forest-like back yard
where I can build...or, err... have built
a really cool tree house/playhouse/fort.

There is a book I've come across in B&N a few times
with the absolute coolest playhouses ever...
that perhaps I'll share someday when I remember the name.

In the meantime, feast your eyes on this outdoor paradise in Bali.
It isn't exactly a tree house. But I loovvveee it just the same.
