now we've got people dreaming

my daughter's best friend is in a wheel-chair, I was thrilled to have her visit us and for us to be the first people she'd ever been able leave home to visit, a few years ago. I'll give up my room any time she wants to come visit.

I bought this house with the idea that it would be our last home, but also with the idea that my in-laws could move in if ness, although their home is a mile away and there are several other options. Their house has steps up to it; ours does not, also on purpose.

if it's a 2 story, you will want the master downstairs, even if it's not your "last" home, if one of you has surgery, or if one of your parents need to stay with you for a time, you'll be glad of this.

a great/or not, depending on how you look at things, place for ideas, is pintrest, look at the category for home, or dream home, something like that.

another thought.....think about what you want for your backyard area, do you want something that will require cement poured? can you get that planned and approved now? can you get that poured by the builder? it will may be a whole lot easier to do now, and cheaper. you wouldn't have to finish it off, but anything that requires cement typically has to go through the city and the HOA, after the initial build.

tons of plugs!!!

and extra drawers in the kitchen! 1/3 more than you think you need! some with cabinets

a walk-in shower with a seat and a big shower head! personally I'd skip the tub, but I know alot of people who like to soak.

a custom kitchen with what "I" want in it, not the builder!

a sewing room to die for!!!! big enough to let me set up my huge quilt stand and still let me walk around it
