I would add a crafting room. Someplace where I could keep my sewing machine out full time and had someplace other than the floor to cut large pieces of fabric. I would want counter height tables for crafting and drafting patterns. I would want tons of cabinets to keep it all organized and huge bulletin boards to put my ideas up. I think this would keep me and my husband happier. And I would probably finish more of the projects that I start.

As a kid, I used to draw floor plans on graph paper of my “dream mansions”, and almost every one included an indoor pool. This lifelong resident of chilly Wisconsin would DEFINITELY choose to make that a reality!

Hmmmmmmmmm, since we’re fantasizing here, I would add a front porch and a master suite with second bath. I mean since a fantasy and all! I have a houe remarkably similar to the Youngsters but on the other side of the river. It needs a front porch (don’t all houses?) and it needs a master suite and a second bath, badly. It’s for sale, if anyone wants to take a look:

My husband and I were actually discussing this last weekend. We’d definitely build a sunroom-not unlike your own.

We were house-sitting for my in-laws and hanging out in their 4-season sunroom (complete with hot tub) and…well, we want one. It would be awesome to enjoy the outside without the inevitable cool Canadian weather.

I would love to extend my kitchen and have a kitchen/family room. I can picture a pitched ceiling covered in beadboard with huge windows all the way around. Oh I love to dream!

I have actually been fantasizing about this with my husband – we decided it would be a reading room for me and a guitar room for him, so it would be humidified and I could fill it with jungle plants and a comfy chair for reading in and he could fill it with his guitars. It would still be nice and light for the plants so it would be basically my perfect room. AND it would mean no more guitars in every room of house!

I would have to add a larger office/creative room. As an interior designer I definitely don’t have enough space to spread out plans or concept boards since I share my office with my girlfriend’s office and the guest room.

Money being no object…I would love to turn our small screened lanai (that’s what we call a patio on Florida) into a finished office for my husband. Currently he shares his office with my craft room. It’s upstairs in our loft and is anything but private; especially with very active, loud kids in the house. He often has to go into the bathroom to make business calls when he works from home. Am I trying to be stingy and kick him out of my crafting space…maybe a little!

Then I would love to recreate the lanai in a different area and make it large enough to actually entertain, maybe even add a pool. *Sigh, ahh to dream!* After all I do live in Florida and have those very active, loud kids I was just mentioning.

It was fun to play along and always great to dream! I love your blog!

I’m a young professional 20-something and was fortunate enough to find a rental that had my dream room built into it already!! As a child, I dreampt of having a room on the top of my house with windows all around. We have an eagles nest on top of our victorian in downtown Colorado Springs, complete with a 9×5 deck and lofted sleeping area (just enough room to lie down. What I would love to do though, is have the opportunity to rebuild to make it a bit more sustainable and sturdy. The previous owners let themselves dream and as a result built this incredible find. Dream big people, you never know who you’re going to bless in the future!

Like Kelly, our 1929 bungalow is pretty much original and really wouldn’t take to an addition without ruining the flow and the character. But our one car 1929 garage is in pretty rough shape. I’d love to build a new one that would function well as a sunroom/greenhouse/garden shed kind of thing.

Master bath/ turn my “master” into a true master suite. I have a 1960s house- all bedrooms about equal sized (luckily, not too small), and 2 (TWO!) full baths! I would love to add on a modern-style master bathroom with walk-in closets (which would allow me to reclaim the wall-closets I have now, expanding the room!) Aaahhh, I dream of a queen-sized mattress…..

Or a sunroom/enclosed patio.

I would add a 3rd bedroom. We have 3 kids, 1 huge dog, a cat and a hamster all living in a 2 bedroom house. we had to turn our “den” into a bedroom – it’s right off the family room and offers little privacy (glass french doors).

We live in a one bedroom apartment, so a spare bedroom would be amazing! I would hope to make a nice area for overnight guests, a bookshelf with a cozy chair for reading, and a nice size table to work on creative projects. I’m drooling just imagining it!

Ooh la la! I would love to convert my deck to a screened porch. Complete with a pitched ceiling and dark pine beams, a gorgeous brick fireplace, lots of cool lighting and comfy seating!!!

I would definitely build a walk in closet. Then I could gut the two closets connected to my bathroom. And make my bathroom bigger so I could havea tub to soak in. We just have a really big shower. I have to use my girls bathroom for my baths.

Oh man, I daydream about this all the time! I live in a two-bedroom, one bath house that I love to death…but if money wasn’t an obstacle, I would revamp my attic into livable space. My attic is clean and large, but the roof is very low so the space isn’t usable as anything other than storage. I would raise the roof and create a cozy master bedroom with a walk-in closet and a fantastic bathroom. Then my current bedroom would become a library!

Detached 2 car garage with music studio above it. This way my fiance (husband in 2 weeks) can play music (drums) all he wants and I don’t have to hear it! If he ever stopped playing it could easily become a guest room, playroom or theatre!

We close on our new house next week and there is only one room we wish it had that it doesn’t – a playroom for our daughter. I’d love a nice big space with lots of storage for toys, enough floor space for a play house along with an art area and a TV with dvd player for her to watch her Elmo on. Maybe one day but lord knows where we would find a place to build it!

My house suits us pretty well, but I’d love a big, sunny laundry room. My current laundry area is a tiny, windowless room (but “room” is generous) off the kitchen, with another door into the garage. Barely room for the washer/dryer, with cheap cabinets above — and no sink.

I’d love a space where you could enter directly from outdoors, have a nice double sink, a counter for folding, and just generally be a happier area all around — and a window!! Oh, and hooks for kid-gear, too.

We have a covered patio right now, but when we have enough money, someday I would love to turn it into a sunroom/family room. It would be right off the back yard, and it would be great for entertaining, watching t.v. and hanging out, and ultimately for the kids! Then, if we had even more money I’d love to extend my living room (which is on the second level of our house-actually above the patio), with beautiful french doors that would lead to a big deck! It would double our living space, which is kinda small at 1100 s.f. I would love to just have a nice seating area out there, and an outdoor dining area for entertaining! Now only if it could come true!

All of my clothes are actually in the guest room’s closet because the one in the master is TINY! I would LOVE a walk-in closet (attached to the master!) that is the size of an actual room, complete with dressing table for make-up and jewelry and a chaise for calming down after petty “I have nothing to wear!” outbursts.

Lately as I’ve been falling asleep I’ve fantasized about a sunny, three-season porch (probably because I am dripping green with envy over John & Sherry’s sunroom). It would be an extension of my tiny house, but also a way to really enjoy my awesome gardens and backyard. Give me more sunlight and comfort and I’m a happy chica!
GREAT question Youngsters!

Sewing studio!! Design wall, industrial sink, ergonomic flooring, and LOTS OF STORAGE. Totally.

Oh, I’ve been dreaming of my room addition… off the back of the house I want a nice big room that will serve as my craft room and my homeschool room. Wait – I shouldn’t put my craft room first, huh? OK – a room for homeschool and some room for my sewing machine. There – that sounds better – a bit less selfish. I want windows that surround the entire room, but only from halfway up… so I can have built in desks/countertops/shelfs/storage that line the room. In the middle, a huge craft table. In one corner, a big utility sink for our craft projects, and since I have 2 boys, we’ll also use it for cleaning off mud. The south facing wall will have access to our current deck (which will have to become a tad bit smaller due to the addition). Now, I am waiting to win a huge chunk of $ or to find a long-lost uncle who will pass on his enormous wealth to me, b/c that’s the only way my dream addition will happen anytime soon.

I’d looove a big laundry room fully equipped with windows, build-in cabinets, sinks, iron board AND a tv-set (because actually I hate washing clothes or ironing!)
Even thought we just moved to our brand new built house, I didn’t manage to make such a room…all my hopes are now set to the unfinished (due to lack of money) semi-basement!

Well, we’re currently building our new home. But, there’s not money for everything… so, since our basement will eventually have a family room… I would have to say that if money were no issue, we would enlarge said family room to accomodate a pool table, fooseball and poker tables. As well, the addition we would add, is a HOME GYM!!

A master bath for sure!

I would build an office or library. We only have two small bedrooms in addition to the master, and when we have guests over …they have to split sleeping areas- between the guest bedroom and the other guest bedroom/office/craftroom/ future nursery. :(

An indoor track/dog park area where my dogs could run like mad on cold rainy days. Then of course, since we’re dreaming here, a dog-cleaning station where they will be thoroughly washed and dried before entering the rest of the house. Clean, tired dogs. Ahhh, bliss.

I need a mudroom. Badly. It’s one of the reasons our current home will not be our “forever” home. I gotta have that mudroom!
