By Rabbit Hole or Tornado We Go.. Second Place in Dream Home Challenge.
There are secret places in the world; hidden but to the dreamers. I have a practical plan for my life; one with a modest sized house with plenty of yard, built on a solid foundation in a neighborhood that never really loses market value just outside of town. What I’m about to conjour though... has no rooting in reality. It has nothing to do with practicalities or markets, accessibilities or budgets. This is myself in my wildest dreams.

Where My Fairy Godmothers At?
Just To Preface I like to fancy myself as a rogue and relatively amateur interior designer. Just give my Pinterest board a look-see and I guarantee you that Joanna Gaines herself would offer me a paid position within her organization or at the very least- an unpaid internship. That's right.

Live life love, love life live
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.

Tranquility: My Dream Home on a Lake
I've dreamed of this lake house for years. The image materialized in my mind with ease and seemingly out of the blue: a quaint house on a lake, surrounded by greenery and vibrant flowers. I don't know where it is, but I know what it looks like and I know how it feels to be there. Warm, comfortable, peaceful. Let me show you around.

My Sanctuary
My dream home is a farm out in the middle of nowhere. Somewhere out in Europe out in the middle of nowhere, but also not to faraway from civilization to the point where I could walk around naked if I would like to, at least through the house. A Huge field, beautiful mountains, and plenty of woods to run through. A European style cottage with a barn built right into the bottom of the house, that is large enough for a few horses, goats, chickens, and a few dogs. Off to the side there would be a fenced in field for the animals to graze. The chickens would stay in the chicken coop and the horses and goats would have their own separate areas. I would also like to have a fenced in garden, with plenty of fruits and vegetables, and one or more apple trees.

Life in the Sunshine
If I could build a house with unlimited funds it would be in a tropical place. Somewhere where you wake up and automatically go outside. Being born and raised in Canada I've been bracing for cold air my entire life. I don't like winter and the thought of it approaching and not being able to escape this year fills me with dread. Growing up I had a list of hot countries that I wanted to travel to. I tacked pictures of thick jungle up all over my bedroom walls and fell asleep listening to a cassette tape of rain forest sounds. My first trip to Mexico was exactly what I had been dreaming about. I walked out of the airport and the heat and humidity hit me and that was it. I've been spending as much time as I can in the sunshine ever since.

My Dream Home
Over time the vision of my dream home has changed. I remember playing the game M.A.S.H. which stood for Mansion. Apartment. Shack. House. I remember playing it as young as 9 years old. I always wanted the mansion, because the biggest and most luxurious is obviously the best. As I grew older and started having to make the adult decision on where to live, I learned that bigger doesn't always mean better.

Tiny House Time
Ever since I was little, I have loved small spaces. My tree house in my backyard was the birthplace for many an adventure, whether that was being a princess in a tower with a fierce dragon below to ward off unwanted suitors, or reinacting little house on the prairie and pretending to do my laundry with a wash board, I was always happiest when my possessions were few and my space manageable. My dreams since then have evolved into something a little more detailed. I first discovered tiny houses about two years ago. I was watching Youtube videos, and I came across a man who had built a house in the side of a mountain using only reclaimed materials. This led to a video where someone had turned a school bus into a house for his family. Then that led to the icing on the cake, tiny houses. I was in love. Tiny houses captured all of my great loves: the ability to travel wherever the open road called me to, the minimalism that the daughter of a hoarder craved, the freedom to personalize my house to my tastes without having to break the bank, and the ability to make it eco friendly and self sustainable. I knew that I would want my tiny house to have Solar panels, being that my electronic needs were few. I also knew that I would want to have a composting toilet, because one of my passions is maintaining water cleanliness around the world. I have a huge green thumb, so I wanted to incorporate as many plants as possible into my design, so I allowed room on my trailer to have a greenhouse on the end, as well as many hanging plants all around to give that jungle feel. I wanted copious quantities of sunlight, so I allowed my dream to include clear roofs and huge windows. I have always wanted a Murphy bed, so I designed a way to not only put my bed away when it wasn’t in use, but also to make it asethically pleasing when it was up by having shelves cover it. I went ahead and thought to have a mini wood burning fireplace to reduce the need for electricity. All of my appliances were either low electricity or gas powered in my dream, and the lights I did have leaned towards salt lamps. I wanted a salt lamp garden, to give that warm fairy garden feel. My bathroom was also full of lights and plants, making it feel like a spa. There would be a glass shower, because we all know shower curtains are the devils hands when your eyes are closed and hair full of shampoo. I would have a wooden slatted bench in my shower, to hold my bottles and to sit when I need to shave. All of my water I would use would be filtered through an in house reverse osmosis system, and then my gray water would be use to water plants outside. I have an old 1800s washstand, to tie in my love of little house on the prairie, and a well lit mirror, to add ambiance as well as lighting. My kitchen was just enough to bake and cook, and also dry the herbs and flowers I grew in my greenhouse. It had white granite countertops, a bit farmhouse sink, and a window with a ledge to put freshly baked pies in. I dreamed of tall ceilings so that I could hang swinging chairs, and have many shelves for books and various shells and knickknacks. So far, my tiny house dream is getting closer and closer to reality, as I have many of the materials put together and ready to build. All that is required is for me to keep perpetuating the good dream.

My Dream Home(s) Outside In?
The question of what I would throw into my dream home is something I've spent a considerable amount of time pondering. Given all of my hobbies, it would take quite a large home to truly incorporate everything. Here's my dream home wish list.
