Sow and Grow

What does your ideal home look like?

For me, the dream begins with a two-car garage. It’s not just about parking space, but about having room for projects, storage, and maybe even a cozy corner for gardening tools or holiday decorations. It feels like a little extra breathing room for life’s odds and ends.

Then there’s the wraparound porch — oh, how I’ve always loved the thought of it! I can imagine quiet mornings sipping coffee while the world wakes up, or evenings with a gentle breeze and the sound of crickets in the background. A porch like that isn’t just part of a house; it’s an invitation to slow down, sit a while, and enjoy the moment.

Inside, I picture three bedrooms and two bathrooms — simple, comfortable, and just enough space for family and guests. I’d want each room to feel welcoming, like a space where people can truly relax and feel at home.

And then, a loft. There’s something about lofts that makes me smile. They feel a little whimsical, like a secret getaway tucked inside the house. I imagine using mine as a reading nook, a quiet retreat where I could curl up with a book and a blanket, surrounded by soft light.

My ideal home doesn’t have to be fancy or perfect, but it would be a reflection of what matters most to me: comfort, warmth, and a place where memories are made.
