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.

An Extra Home is Always a Blessing – Read to Know Why!
Owning a home is good, but, having an extra one is even better! If you have some finances that you can spare or arrange for, then we suggest -- you better buy a second home for yourself!

Why the High Rise?
Jeff Bezos’ net worth is $200 billion. He bought, amongst other properties, the most expensive homes in California and Washington, DC. Do you think that he’s worried about a high rise in Wilmington, Delaware? I didn’t think so. While his homes offer extensive views, lavish features and boast high-tech features like Firestick and Alexa that can probably read your temperature and diagnose whether you COVID-19 or not, I would want those same creature comforts. Maybe later, when I generate a fortune that would afford a Bezos dwelling, I might consider abodes like these, but not right now.

A Home is my Dream
A dream home... Is that a home I’ve dreamed of? Is it a place? Where my heart is? I know I long for one. A home to settle my heart and heal. My heart aches for the place to rest and recover; to cleanse from the outside reality. A safe haven. A place that is mine to have and hold.

Dream Home
What is a dream home? Is it a lakeside structure with a veranda peaking over waters that gently lap rocky shores? Is it an open-air cabana on sandy beach, so close to the ocean the waves lull you to sleep? Is it a mountain cabin, tucked away in green forest and soundtracked by birds and bees?
