A room with a view?

I always wanted a kitchen with room for a sofa. When we move, soon, I may get my wish ( touch wood)

A comfortable cosy lounge with big armchairs facing a large picture window through which I can see the stunning view.

I'm with you absent, a library with comfy sofas and no one else allowed unless by invitation.
On a practical level I would love a utility room where all the white goods could be kept and room to dry my washing. It would have a door leading to the garden so the dogs could be dried off before coming into the house.

A quiet, snug space with a comfortable sofa that I could lie down on, with glass doors that open on to a stunning view, preferably including water (river or ocean).

A vast kitchen with a huge table and a sofa by a large window over looking the garden.

If I could afford to do it- transform the massive integral barn on top of our house into a massive room with a huge kitchen on north side with a snug, and a huge lounge/bedroom/library with the whole South elevation a mix of wood (beams and trusses date from 1663) and glass - modern design and cosy châlet style with huge fireplace in middle.

Will NOT mention 'the' word until 2017-- but it won't happen ;)
in 2017 for sure (LOL).

Perhaps will be launching B&B in 2017 with guided visits of area, fauna, flora, castles, medieval towns- France and Switzerland... (see above, 'word' not mentionned)

I'd like a much bigger kitchen with a big table so that all the grandchildren spcould sit round and their various crafts. Not going to happen unless we knock the lounge and kitchen into one room

Like the idea of a gym with swimming pool, jacuzzi and soft carpeted space with room with me to work on yoga and Tai Chi. Would also love to have a sanctuary with plenty of space for my Wiccan work/meditation and New Age studies. Luxury bathroom with a bath - while I like to shower, every so often I have a hankering to luxuriate in lovely warm bath with bubbles, oils etc. A huge kitchen with a range, work and storage space and dining area. And the library goes without saying. Not to mention a couple of acres for chickens, goats, herbs, aromatic garden(roses, lavender etc), lawn, orchard and veg plot. Well, perhaps some day I'll win the Lottery - oh, since I've never bought a lottery ticket, somehow I think that's unlikely! So probably will always just remain a dream.

a conservatory that we could use all year,this morning it feels like a walk in freezer,has anyone had an insulated roof done if so is it worth the money.

Hi jacking this post. Knittingran we have good heating in conservatory but would love to know more about insulated roof

My sister insulated her conservatory and swears by it. Not sure what was done though. I would love a larger kitchen where we could have a table or a small wooden chalet in the garden with comfy sofa and a hammock just outside but dream on won't happen unless we move.

At the present time, my bedroom in this weather!

But usually the sitting room, where I have all the books, computer, telephone etc.

A room with a view over the ocean would be perfect for me .. ain't gonna happen though

Would love a huge kitchen with fitted units etc.

I'd love a grand room with high ceilings, looking out over a cityscape. Perhaps in central Paris. There'd be a big fireplace with a real fire, and elegant but comfortable sofas. It would be painted in dark greys or blues, all toning. No clutter BUT I'd like to have room for books, maybe on shelves over the door.

I'm not a kitchen-y person and dislike cooking, so my apartment would have to be central to mcdonalds restaurants where I would be a regular, regaling customers with a stream of witty stories and lively banter.

Obviously I'd have enough room for a baby grand piano, which would be miraculously quiet and respectful of the neighbours. I'd spend hours at the instrument composing cool jazz and drinking Pernod until the early hours, maybe in the company of my eclectic musical friends. Naturally, I would remain miraculously wrinkle-free and healthy of liver.

I wouldn't need a car, of course, but my apartment would come complete with parking space for my beloved Alfa Spider, with its personalised plates and specialist paint job..remarkably unscratched and unvandalised and ready and waiting for jaunts into the countryside.

I wish.

A library.

I'm with you Kitty but a kitchen with drawers would be a start!

A music room with a grand piano and a wonderful view.

In fact, I've mentioned before, but one of the houses on the dunes between Aldeburgh and Thorpeness would do me fine, thank you!! Xx

I'm also with Kitty ---- kitchen/dining/snug all in one that will take a table for 6 or 8, but with a hidden leaf to take it up to seating 12. Two sofas, footstools, throws, all comfortable and cosy. Double doors to open into the garden in the summer.
Utility room with loo.

I reckon we'd be living in it all the time.

A craft room where I could have a work bench for painting, an arm chair for knitting and lots of shelves to keep all the supplies on. It wouldn't matter about the mess and I wouldn't have to put everything away when I finished.

Definitely a craft room, with a large window for lot of natural light,a long bench for sewing machines on one side of the room and another one the other side for leatherwork, plus lots of wooden storage for all tools and equipment. I'm sure it's never going g to happen though, so I make do with the third bedroom which has to be used for the DGC when they come to stay.

Gosh I think any house would be a start! I dislike my (temp) glad immensely. I am not allowed to decorate or hang pictures let alone put my bookshelves up! ?
A sunken bath and a powerful shower would be fab!
I love cooking and would relish a bigger kitchen (I too have no drawers, not even for cutlery! ) that I could have a large dining table for entertaining!
Oh and a separate utility room with a back door (where I can go for a smoke!!) ?
In other words I have to win the lottery! !! ?

I'm very fortunate in that I'm living in my dream home now that the building work is complete.
We moved to Ireland 2 years ago and our new modern home has a semi open plan kitchen/diner/sunroom which is my perfect room(s). The sunroom is long and has a big picture window at the end overlooking fields and you can see the Kerry mountains in the distance.

Sunrooms are ten times more popular here in Ireland than conservatories because they can be used all year around. We have triple glazing and lots of insulation and the house is so much cheaper to heat than our old (100yrs) house back in the UK. There's even some standing stones in the field behind our house and I'm sure they're sending us positive energies.

We used to have a conservatory in the UK but it was either too hot or too cold. If you're thinking of building a conservatory, definitely consider a sunroom instead.

My DH wanted a library with lots of shelving for his books and he has that too. So we're both happy.
