Great thread!
I've dreamed about what I want my house to be for yearssssssszzzz.
So its' going to be a one floor house, After living in a double story house I'm just sick of going up and down the stairs. But I guess it is good excercise for the legs lol but No double story house for me when I build mine Insha'allah!!
It's going to have a biiiiig yard/garden surrounding it, there's going to be a fish pond at one end and I'm going to put fishies in it so that I can go fishing there (lol, I am too scared to go boating for real fishing, I get nauseous), then there's going to be willow trees and all sorts of big overhanging trees all over the garden so it'll be nice and shady inshaa'allah.
I'm going to string me up a hammock, and I'll have a swing set for me, not my kids, just MINE ( I love swings :-[ ) the kids can go and rig up their own lol oh yes! and I want to have a big loooooooooong driveway so that I can go rollerblading within the safety of my garden walls

.
Then of course, there's going to be a patio with a pool insha'allah (I hate alot of stuff about my house now but that's one thing I love) and there'll be a gazebbo with a barbecue pit inside it and all so that I can invite my girlfriends over for a bbq
As for the house itself? Well I dont like the idea of having a maid coming in to help me clean, and I'm not any superwoman so the house has to be big, but still small enough for me to clean without getting winded. Maybe a 3 bedroom would be good. I would like a Big living room, there has to be two of those living rooms though because there has to be one for men and one for women, I'm going to decorate them Arabic style, you know, the Cushions on the ground and all of that, and I'll have those bead curtains over the doorways to the living rooms with lots and lots of cushions
A BIG BIG kitchen, because I love cooking and there is no way I can enjoy cooking in a tiny kitchen, it's going to have all the modern gadgets and all of that, although at times I think I would like to have an old fashioned kitchen because they look so nice, but then I shudder because they are one big headache to clean, so modern it is! with huge windows and flowers growing at the sills......
And most importantly, My study, I'm going to fill it up with books insha'allah and it's going to be a bare and simple room except for my desk and chair and all of my books Insha'allah.
I've rambled on long enough. I'll stop.
