I've had a little time to relax lately so I've been Thinking about what I want. What I want for me, not what I want for my family, just what I want for me. It's been a long time since I've really thought about what I want, I've been too consumed with my family. It's time for me.

 

My motto for this year is Me First. Everyone else has come first for years, now it's my turn. I'm putting myself first and not feeling one single bit of guilt about it. 

 

I've been thinking about the type of house I want. I've decided a want a really homely feeling cottage. Something warm and inviting with a gorgeous Garden and lot of greenery inside. With a verandah out the front and a comfortable, cozy feeling inside. I'd like a yard, not too big, not too small, with lots of plants, something that's nice to walk around and pretty to look at. I'd like some seats outside so I can sit there on a cold winter morning and enjoy the garden. A fire pit for those cold winter nights so we can sit around and toast marshmallows.

I want fairy lights around the patio and in the kitchen. I want colours and patterns, wood, textures and cozy blankets. I want a home that feels like a big warm hug. 

I want floor rugs and wood floors, no carpet just nice fluffy rugs. An en-suite with a separate toilet, no bath and a decent sized shower. I want a big pantry and lots of storage. Salt lamps, candles and soft lighting everywhere. A window seat filled with soft cushions so I can snuggle in there and read. 

A well stocked library/office with a view of the garden. Windows so that I can see my beautiful garden.

That's what I want.
