Another Dream (What Else is New?)

It is my dream someday to have an "escape home". I don't know why, because I never had one growing up in my family. My dad has always loved boats (a house boat is one of his dreams). I would much rather have an actual little house somewhere. I change the place all the time in my mind. Sometimes it is in France (I studied French in college and studied abroad there - huge francophile, here), some days it's the English countryside (my husband is a complete anglophile). Sometimes it's Costa Rica, where we went on our Honeymoon.

Wouldn't that be absolutely lovely, though? To have a place where you go to really relax and get away (anytime you want) and where you can indulge a different side of your design style. A special place that can hopefully be passed down for generations. I went to a bachelorette party at a cabin in Tahoe that was originally purchased by a girl's grandparents in the 40s (for a lot cheaper back then!).

It may never happen, but it is a nice dream. Where is your ideal escape home?
