I Close My Eyes, Only For a Moment and the Moment's Gone...

future house.jpg


The other night, I couldn't sleep so I stayed up until 4 am just to draw my future plans for a house that I will probably never have. The drawing above is really crappy in comparison of the original, but the first one didn't want to be scanned. Its really nice though. I decided that I would have three roommates living with me and that our house would be converted out of an old wharehouse. There would be four loft living spaces. One in each corner. They would be on the vaulted second floor and each one would be connected to the other by a walkway and each person would have its own set of stairs.

The Downstairs would consist of a game room, the living room/den and kitchen area. The outside would feature mosaic tile walkways and a lagoon pool and rock slide. I was thinking that there would be a nice juxtaposition between asian and Mexican influences with the landscaping and plants. The side yard would be full of succulents such as cactus- I have gotten really used to eating cactus burritos (lol).

I am not really sure if the city (preferably Long Beach) would allow the conversion of an old wharehouse into a luxury style loft- but yeah, that would be my dream home. Unattainable? Possibly- but then again you gotta dare to dream....
