I was daydreaming earlier about what my perfect house would look like, you know, cozy reading nook, quirky kitchen tiles, maybe even a secret door behind a bookshelf...anyway, thought it'd be fun if we built this imaginary home together. What's your must-have feature?
Your ideas sound amazing—I mean, who wouldn't want a secret door behind a bookshelf? For me, I'd definitely add some eco-friendly touches. Maybe start with big south-facing windows to soak up natural sunlight and warmth in winter. Then, throw in some reclaimed wood flooring for character and sustainability. And if you're feeling adventurous, a green roof garden could be pretty cool...imagine growing herbs or veggies right above your head. Anyway, love the creativity here—keep dreaming big!
Big yes to reclaimed wood floors—did that in my last reno and it turned out great. But careful with the green roof idea...my neighbor tried it and ended up with leaks everywhere. Maybe start small with a balcony herb garden instead?
Reclaimed floors are great, but curious about the green roof thing—did your neighbor DIY it or hire someone? I've heard proper waterproofing and drainage layers are critical, otherwise it's a nightmare. Wondering if anyone has had success with a professionally installed green roof or if leaks are just inevitable over time...
