Space

[naomikritzer]

I dreamed last night that I discovered this extra space in my house. I can't remember how you got into it -- through a little door from my bedroom, I think. Anyway, it wasn't a huge space, but I got tremendously excited, because it was big enough to turn into a home office, and then we'd be able to use all three bedrooms as bedrooms (or, since Molly and Kiera don't currently mind sharing, we could have a bedroom and a playroom, and would be able to give them separate rooms once they got older and wanted their own space).

I was really disappointed to wake up from that one.

I have variations on that dream fairly often. Undiscovered rooms, whole undiscovered wings of a much larger house than I realized, finding that my home is actually part of a vast palace or a complex of underground passages...

I suspect it's my unconscious mind telling me that I have untapped resources of some sort.

I've had this dream since I was very young.

It sounds like the room of requirement from Harry Potter, and not like an ethereal wish, but like a real need. Pardon me for just jumping in to comment (I am a long time reader of your blog and also of your Turning the Storm series - I haven't had time for the new series, but I will soon). Have you seen this:

I saw it on the HGTV show "I Want That". I do not know if it will stand up to Minnesota winters, but it might be worth a look. Take care and good luck. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and worlds with us.

Those look awesome! I'm not sure there's room in my back yard, either, unfortunately. The least expensive, most practical option is probably to fix up part of the basement. I am totally sending that link to pegkerr, though. She has some very similar space-crunch issues.

I wish I had the Room of Requirement. If you could have those put on as additions, it would be so worth the expense and hassle of adding on...
