My Dream Home: Volume II

So we've covered the hot tub, the nice big tub, and the towel boy. In this edition of My Dream Home, I would like to address another important item every home should have. Books.

I'm pro-book. I think that every home should have at least one. Hopefully you have more than one. I visited a house once during my internship out on the peninsula with this amazing view of the harbor. Sitting in their kitchen, as you looked towards the water, you saw on the wall shelves of books that pretty much covered the wall. They were the kind of shelves that were built in. They extended from one end of the wall to the other above the windows, and I believe the rest of the wall that was not window was pretty much covered in books. I want a kitchen like that. I want a beautiful view and a wall of books. I want lots and lots of cook books so I can cook yummy foods.

Along with the kitchen shelves, I want a library. I want to have a room where the walls are covered in books, like in those movies where there's a library with cozy arm chairs and a ladder that you can scoot around the room because the bookshelves go so high you need a ladder to reach the higher shelves. My library needs to have a fireplace, and windows to let in lots of natural light. The window should also have a good view.

I think that might basically mean that my perfect house doesn't have neighbors. Unless the neighbor is a cute cottage down the way, and they happen to like to bring me baked goods every so often just to be neighborly. Yes, definitely that kind of neighbor could work.

Have I mentioned I've been craving pie?
