I'm trying to focus in getting a bigger bath room. I love to destress myself in water. Getting a bath tub and Jacuzzi or a sauna will be nice. Or given a great opportunity, I will get a pool. For me to do that, in my existing house which stands on a two-story foundation, I'll have a roof top on the third floor and make a pool in it. Hope my house contractor can make the most of the improving the existing house. I may get a better bedroom but it might have a working station beside it. I tend to work before I sleep due to my busy lifestyle and I can't help to check emails before I go to sleep to make sure everything is covered at the end of the day. How about you? What part of the house will you improve or pay attention and why? Let me know more about it. Thanks!

kitchen and bathroom! because i like cooking and having shower, i don't really pay attention if other rooms were untidy and maybe sometimes dirty but i can't even stay if my kitchen and bathroom were dirty! i can spend my whole day cleaning the kitchen and bathroom by myself rather than waiting for my maid to do that.

hahah, no i mean my maid that i have right now, because i lived in Indonesia and here all families have at least 1 maid in their house, because every people go to work from morning till the evening so that makes us don't have time to do the house work, and LUCIKLY, to hire a maid, it's not really expensive here, so yeah, indonesian people were very lucky. i only have one, some people have even 2 / 3, so build a house in Indonesia, and hire your own maid! :D

My Dream Home - A Mediterranean style home that if I was rich I might want to buy. Pool isn't actually necessary but I would like to own a bigger home with lots more space, etc.
Well, I'd like to fix up this house first off, take all the clutter and there is too much of it literally) out, mostly of my brother's. Then work from there, take out te back porch and add on to the tiny kitchen to make it bigger. Then I would take one of the rooms upstairs and take out the upper back deck there and make that one bigger and make it a bedroom for me, wit a lot bigger closet space. Then get rid of the carpets that are like 30 years old here and maybe put wood floors down, redo the wood trim with other materials and paint somewhat. Then I would rearrange some new furniture with covers all over them like my mom has here, and her ugly green and orange plastic covers on some of the other furniture (ew,ew, ew!), make my lil bedroom down here into an extention for the bathroom and put a jacuzzi in there too. Just so many renovations if I can't move out of here first and find a special place of my own thats very beautiful and modern, with clean carpets and new floors. These carpets are gross and so old. :( I hate the way this house looks on the inside, just ugly. I've attached a photo of a dream house I'd like to have (from the outside).

I guess that would be the library. Yes, our dream house will have a floor to ceiling shelves that will house our collection of books. It would be made in the fashion of a Victorian era library ala Sherlock Holmes. The second favorite part would be the backyard swimming pool since my girlfriend and I likes to go on a swim.

Wow, now that's unussual for a house. I am a book lover but I never thought of that ^_^-) That's really nice; despite of everyone getting their own ebook while you insist to preserve the old copies; that's really amazing ^___^-) Happy mylotting more about it~!!

I do not have my own house just yet. But if ever I have one, the most part that I like most is the patio potion. This is because i can sit down and enjoy the view. I can also play with my pet and tell stories to my children and hubby! At first, I did not realize the patio is as important as the bedroom or living room. But when I was left alone and played with my dog in the patio, I came to appreciate it plays a role in bonding with family memebrs

Hello friend, I love to cook and so I must say that my favorite part of my house is the kitchen. I love to improve it still though because I am planning to add some appliances which I can use when I am cooking.Most of the gadgets there are already beat up since my mom have been using it since we I was a kid. Now that I usually take control of the kitchen because I love cooking for my parents, I was given the liberty to buy more appliances I deem useful.

Wow... On the contrary I'm bad at kitchen. LOL. I'm the worst cook you'll ever encounter. What I know is to fry. LOL. That's great! I've noticed some of the lifestyle magazines here in our country is also focus on how they arrange kitchen and dining pieces. I find it enjoyable to work with when you're in a clean kitchen with a wide tabletop good for all those mixing bowls and chopping boards. Very nice! For me if I've got that kind of kitchen it makes me wonder for 2 things.: either I won't cook (because I'm clumsy at kitchen and afraid to make it messy in any other way) and at the same time feeling at ease when preparing; knowing that you're working your food in a place clean and free from any germs and disease since we're dealing with food. Happy sharing your thoughts here in mylot and tell me more how do you visualize your kitchen more.

I would want a nice big bathroom and tub like you said, i would also love a pool. However, a big kitchen with lots of room and an island would be amazing. I dont cook much but, i have always wanted to learn.

Okay, you'll think I'm nuts, but my dream house has a wood burning stove. That's most important of all. I'd like a wood burning kitchen stove, too, and window seats. And one of those grand, curving stairs that I can decorate for Christmas.

for me, it is not about what is inside that would be my dream house, it would be the location. i am a beach and water person. i would be happy with a little shack as long as it is on a lake or the ocean.

The most favorite part of any household is perhaps the dining room. Since culinary delights add to your mental well being it is important that you maintain congenial dining environments. in order to attain this one should allow diligent attention to lay out the place of dining and make it quite an exciting part of your life.

I love to eat :) And yes; having a great dining area makes your guest feel comfortable during occasions, too. Works both for making your dining area a living room also (very common in the Philippines) Houses here are turning the Living room into a dining area as well. LOLS. From the way I'm seeing it; only provinces have those big houses with big dining rooms. Could be because they have a lot of children and extended families in those areas or they have a vast land or lot to work with for their houses. How I wish I also have a big dinning room. From where I grew up; I can barely count in my fingers how many times did me and my parents sat down and had a proper meal together due to tight spaces in our house and also; well... they haven't prioritize time to eat together with their offspring and work with other things better than dinning at home. Too bad; wasn't been considered too much.. but still I'm hoping to since I know the impact at me. Thanks for sharing me your thoughts about how big your dining room should be and happy mylotting.

I want a nook in my bedroom. I want a comfortable seat beside the big window and put cushions and pillow on it with book cases and stuff. It would be a really nice place to read books or just relax and meditate.

Right now I live with my mom so it's not quite my dream house but I do enjoy living with my mom and my little brother. There are quite a bit of things that I love at this house, I love my room, I love the garden on the side of my house that my mom let me create. It's about 1300 square feet so I can get a lot of plants growing and that allows me to do things like canning as well. I like the basketball hoop I have in the backyard and the crude court that we have out there it's definitely nice and keeps me entertained. I enjoy having the table I set up in my room for starting my seeds indoor. I enjoy having multiple cages for my lizards and the really large cage I have as well. I like having my own refrigerator too put my food in as well it's really nice. As far as my dream house it doesn't really matter how big it would be, I would be happy living in a trailer if I can just own enough property to be able to start the ranch I dream of and get started on the nonprofit organization I want to begin. I hope to be able to grow fruits and vegetables that I can give to those in unfortunate situations. I'd also like to create a restaurant on that ranch and do other things with it as well. If I could afford some nicer things for my house though I would like to get a nice hot tub style bath tub because I love taking really hot baths. I would also like to be able to get a little basketball court set up there as well, it doesn't have to be big or anything like that. I'd also like to create a recording studio but I would need a decent amount of money for that too.

I will pay much attention to my bedroom. I will create a good environment for my bedroom. I need a huge colorful bathroom with lot of decorations. So that I can have a good sleep with a good surrounding around me.
