Dream House

Ever since I was a little girl I loved to design houses. Of course, when I was six my "designs" weren't all that complex. They mainly consisted of several boxes drawn together with the words "kitchen" and "bedroom" scrawled in the center of a few. Never-the-less, I've never outgrew my fascination with amazing houses. So here's my idea of what the perfect house would be.
I would have a large covered porch with rocking chairs and seats so that people could sit outside on a lovely evening, drink some tea, and watch the sunset/rain. The front door would be a huge wooden affair, preferably with carvings and a lion-head door knocker. The entryway would be two-stories tall with a great staircase leading upstairs. More carved wooden lions would grace the railings.
My living room would have lots of windows, including a bay window. It would be the perfect place to have tea. The den would comfy and homey, a place to kick back and relax. I would also want to have a recreation room with Foosball, pool, ping-pong, and things of that nature.
There would be many guest rooms for anyone who would need to stay with me, as well as family who drops by.
My kitchen would be quite spacious, with a large island in the center. There would be double ovens, triple sinks, and all other sorts of cooking lovelies. There would be plenty of room for people to cook together, as well as stools for little cooks. My pantry would be walk-in, and I'd have hooks for hanging up all my lovely aprons. I would also have shallow shelving around the walls to house my bottle collection. It would be glorious.
In the dining room, I'd have a huge oak table that would fit a ton of family and friends around it. I'd also have a smaller breakfast nook for smaller crowds. Again, I'd have lots of windows in both rooms.
I'd have an artist studio where I could draw, paint, write, sew, and generally have a good time. There would also be (on the other side of the house) a music room with a huge grand piano as well as instruments from all over the world.
The most wonderful thing would be my library. It would be a two-story Beauty and the Beast library complete with the staircase and rolling ladders. There would be comfy chairs and couches scattered throughout the room for reading. I'd also like a fireplace and a nearby kitchenette for making snacks.
I'd love to have a miniature theater where we can put on plays and little kids can have fun. I'd love to make fun costumes for the backstage.
Of course, I'd like to have an attic, full of trunks and boxes and old things for kids to explore on rainy days.
The other thing my dream house would have is a secret room. For some reason, I have always wanted a secret room or tunnel in my house.
Throughout the house, I'd like to have plants, artwork from myself and my friends, and beautiful things from all over the world. With that, what more could I want?
Outside, I would a large yard to play on, a vegetable garden, an herb garden, and one or two English flower gardens. I would want benches and fountains and statues scattered throughout. With that, my dream house would be complete.
