My DREAM HOUSE.

Every person dreams to have such a beautiful house. So am I.

The basic idea of my home is a brick house with rooms upstairs and downstairs. The house will be situated at the bottom of a valley next to the river. It’ll be about 20 miles from the city and just outside the village. It’ll be a really splendid period of property. It’s a detached and two stored house. It’ll have its own back garden, with the courtyard. It’ll catch the sun that I could eat out in summer. There will be a lovely mature apple tree right in the middle and cherry tree and apricot and lots of space for my vegetables. Of course there will be a garage too.
It’s seems typically English for me. There are long corridors, huge rooms and etc.
As you come in through the front door, you will find yourself in a large hall which leads you to the family room.
And when I think of family, I think of relaxation and fun, as well as informal settings for carefree entertaining. This is a room in which my family can truly "let our hairs down." It demands space for our hobbies, whether that means reading, watching TV or needlework. It also calls for some imaginative planning, so all members of the family feel that this is truly "our" room.
This family room will have a big job: Accommodating the 60-inch big screen TV (far left). But the real star of the room is the fireplace.
An entertainment center to house our TV, VCR, DVD and music system is a must.
Comfort is the key in the selection of our upholstered furniture pieces—cushy seats—large and oversized are a most welcome retreat!
Existing furniture has to co-exist in harmony with new pieces.
And since many great rooms center on a fireplace, I’ll be sure to arrange the furniture to "take in the view" and the warmth of this wonderful architectural feature. And I’m thinking about changing my mantle accessories with the seasons: A grapevine wreath for the fall; Christmas candles and greenery for the holidays, and a beautiful spring bouquet for the summer.
Then I’d like to tell you about my favorite room: it’s my bedroom.
. When I am designing a bedroom for myself, its ambience should reflect my taste and suit my habits .My bedroom should have good reading light, bedside tables, carpeting or rugs, and window treatments that assure darkness and privacy. The best door for a bedroom is a solid one, noise-transmitted, hollow-core type. I want the door located near a corner; it will interfere with furniture less than one in the middle of a wall. The placement, size, shape and number windows will have a significant effect on the amount light they bring into a room. Even I am a night owl but I prefer that a cheery east light wake me in the morning, that’ s why the south-east window will be in my bedroom.
A bedroom’s colors and textures interact both with daylight and with the colors temperatures of the light sources I choose. Mirrors and shiny surfaces multiply light sources and add drama.

I want an elaborate built-in headboard, which provides display space, storage; bedside tables and lighting in one dramatic piece of furniture.

As I spend more time in my master suites and private retreats, it is practical to make this area the nighttime command center for house wide operations. Bedside control panels not only allow me to monitor and access both interior and exterior lights but can handle security sensors, alarms and an intercom, too.

I make a great hub for activities such as watching videos and listening to music. My bedroom is also a natural spot for home computing and networking tasks... Also I want a hi-fi VCR or l

.A bank of traditional arched windows gives a classic feel to my bedroom sitting area and supplies fresh air , too. Sheer diffusing screens soften incoming light and ensure privacy; clear glass above eye level allows views out.

I want good but glare-free light in a walk-in closet so I can see my wardrobe. These low voltage ring lights have a frosted glass diffuser and a handsome fixture choice.

The adjacent dressing area is a transitional passage between bedroom and bath. The carpet flows from room to room; the striped fabric is repeated on the daybed upholstery; the same garlands dress the walls. The beautiful double vanity is topped by striking beveled mirrors and pretty sconces.

This rich, European-looking dressing room has dark-toned modular units with acrylic dust doors and invisible hardware.

At the same floor you can see my future nursery room. It’ll be in different bright colors with lots of toys and double-sized bed with a lot of pillows, teddy-bears, dolls, cars and etc.

On the ground floor there is also a kitchen with dining room. The kitchen is of large size. An open, ultramodern, white-on-white kitchen is part of a "zero tolerance" house design – no moldings, no fudging, no extraneous details to interrupt the clarity of the look. The various items of kitchen furniture are conveniently arranged around the walls.

A sleek white kitchen is viewed from the entrance hall through an interior "window," which provides discreet display space with curving glass shelves and a halogen downlight.
This remodel is organized around a dramatic new painted dormer window, almost Gothic in feeling, that rises from behind the sink to the very peak of the gable.

This kitchen combines sunlight and storage in a single glass cabinet system. Only the cooktop's hood and venting mechanism are opaque.
To my mind it’ll be the most comfortable, convenient and cozy home which I’ve ever had. Creating a cozy, inviting atmosphere is the goal for me.
