I would want a low stone house with shuttered windows and creeping ivy. A yard full of irises and poplar trees with a low fence. My grandmother's wrought iron bed covered in quilts. Minimal furniture and books everywhere. A lazy cat sleeping in the window sill. Cotton curtains. Sweet tea. Four pairs of shoes by the door. A big pair, a medium pair, and two tiny, dirty sets of sneakers. Lavender soap by the sink.
And light.
Lots of light.
Idealism at it's finest.
