How often do you get asked what you design style is, what style of home you love or where you eventually want to retire? As a designer I get asked those questions often and thought I’d share a bit about my dream home with you today here on the blog.
To give you a bit of background, I was born in Oklahoma but moved to Washington state when I was around 6. My dad worked for the government and his job took us to a small town in Washington called Moses Lake. Moses Lake sits on the edge of a beautiful lake that has 120 miles of shoreline and is one of the largest natural freshwater lakes in the state.
Moses Lake Washington isn’t a terribly large city. According to the 2010 census, approximately 20,000 people call it home so you can only imagine how small it was when I lived there over 30 years ago.
Anyhow, living in a lake town instilled a love of water that has lingered with me my entire life. I love swimming, the beach, boating, waterskiing (although I’m not great at it) and I even like fishing.
As an adult I lived in Seattle and then the hubby and I moved to Atlanta. All of the homes we’ve owned have been traditional in style and none of them have been my dream home.
So what does my dream home look like you ask?
Well, my dream home is a Cape Cod style home sitting of the edge of the water with close access to a beach!
