Camper Reno
Let me start by saying… if I can do this- ANYONE can do this! JP (my lovely boyfriend) owned “our camper” before we started dating. It’s a 20 foot pull behind camper that we spent the first 4 months of our relationship exploring in. Because of those memories we are connected to the thing and I just was not ready to trade it in for a new camper! It’s perfect for just the two of us and the odd visitor! We don’t need anything more but we really wanted something “better”. Last summer my dad put new flooring in his camper which is about the same “age” and it really just brightened it up! So when I went into the camper to get it spring ready and I seen the linoleum had cracked even more over the winter I was excited to pull it up! Yay- we get to do what dad did! (again please remember I’ve never renovated anything ever!)

My Dream is a home filled with love
Dream home As a child I grew up in a fairy tale. Raised by my grandparents in Germany and across Europe we visited many different landscapes and I saw the most mythic magnificent homes. I visited grand castles. I climbed mountains. I engaged with mountain goats mostly running away from them. I ate fresh butter and cheese which was made from the milk of the goats. The view was majestic, and the air was clean. The Sky was layered in hand painted blue complemented by jeweled Golden highlights.

New York or NO WHERE
If i had Bobby Berk as my fairy godmother and, he literally said you can have any type of house you want I would literally reincarnate pieces from my top five favorite dream homes and just mimic certain things from each home. Don’t get me wrong i love a modern home but I also love love culture! To me it’s not necessarily the most expensive piece of furniture or the most expensive house. Its the details, the little things that makes a house, mansion, condo, apartment a home. I love to feel a sense of warmness. One things for certain is I’ve always wanted a book shelf with the sliding ladder where I would be able to ru around and play in my library if I had that unlimited budget. To me its all about sentimental value. Since I’m an Aries the best gifts we recieved in life weren’t of high cost but of deep value. All my fellow Aries! Did i nail it rite on the head or what? That’s what I thought! For us (Aries) we don’t need expensive we need value and lots of it. My house would completely be a penthouse condo with lots of outdoor area. The thing with me is that its either New York or NOWHERE! I love my home.(That being nyc). If you’re a real New Yorker you know that were the most resilient people, city, and characters. Oh how i love my city. But that being said I would have multiple terraces but it wouldn’t be as modern as most New York penthouse apartments are. It would have that cozy feeling and the walls would def be multiple different colors depending on the room you walk into. I would have a 3 floor penthouse because i like a lot of space but too much space makes me feel lonely. And as far as rooms! Ugh i would have a full library and along with that library I would have my own music floor. My music floor would consist of an entire jam session rehearsal room where I would be able to vocal practice and just vibe out with my band. I would have an entire set up of string instruments, a grand piano, keyboards, guitars both electric and acoustic. The whole nine yards! I would have everything floor to ceiling and it would be overlooking the entire city and part of Central Park. I would have an entire fully equipped state of the art studio system put in as well. Along with an entire empty dance rehearsal room where id be able to work out because it would be part of the built in privat gym (fully equipped?duh!)I want to be able to do whatever I want creatively when I want creatively. That’s honestly my life dream. The first floor would have an entire arcade room along with a basketball court and a fully sauna. I would want round the clock masseuses on call as well as a personal chef that would come to the house whenever i am too busy to cook or just am annoying the fruits of my labor with my loved ones. There would be about 7 master guest suite rooms that would be all canopy beds or definitely amazing bed frames that have high head boards and all the best mattresses and pillow cases sheets and comforters that would all be silk. Every bedroom would have A different theme to it but my master bedroom will be so cozy completely white nudes and cream colors with some black and grey tones. I would have all heated marble floors and the bathroom would be in each room along with a custom walk in closet for every room. Let’s be serious guys New York is one of the most saturated places! But a girl needs to put her shoes somewhere. I would have a large tub that id be able to enjoy baths and a built inn jacuzzi tub as well. The sink would be the sink that never leaks and is complet’s granite. The warmth my home would have with every color every piece of furiture every pillow, blanket, etc...that would be put into this home wouldn’t be just about luxury. It would be about making New York always fit into my every day. Last but not least i would want an infinity pool exclusively made for me on the thrid floor of my dream home. I‘ll get all that and more one day soon. This is also my manifestion affirmation for the night. I hope you can picture in your head all of the details and value and deep sentimate rather than everything havi to do with the ”most expensive things.”
