Sharing My World 29-07-2024

Here is my post for Share Your World, hosted by Di.

Have you ever wanted to design your own home?
Yep. I’ve often thought of the ideal house I would have if I had loads of money. Great location, all sorts of cool rooms and whatnot.


Have you designed anything specifically for you or your family?
No, I’m extremely non-creative. In fact, the afore-mentioned house would probably turn out pretty “wonky”.


Does anyone in your family have ‘artistic qualities? (ie. painter/artist, sculptor, landscape gardener etc)
Not that I’m aware of. I can’t even draw.


When it comes to property or buildings, do you prefer a modern design or a more traditional approach?
I quite like both, but for preference I would like a traditional “country cottage” look, but with modern amenities. Like heating and an indoor toilet.

    Thanks for joining in. I agree about traditional property but with mod cons like indoor plumbing. My great uncle and aunt had a dunny at the bottom of their garden and as a young child, I refused to use it as it stank! Still, it was better than what other terrace house had at the time, one loo for ten properties or just an open drain.

    You do realise you’ve just caused me instant trauma by reminding me of my childhood home sans heating and indoor toilet! Do you have a compensation scheme?

    Can’t draw…. please! Your wonderful drawings won the wonderful Contest of Whatever badge that is just to the right of this comment I’m typing up. Did Picasso ever win a Contest of Whatever? No, he didn’t because he’s a hack compared to you….

    I like Victorian and Edwardian houses. However, my budget could barely afford a 1928 country cottage so I went with that. Thankfully there is heating and indoor toilet! And I’ve been able to do a lot of the restoration myself.

    OUR homes are the areas and space apartment/tent/box/room we live within and continue to modify. Artist and engineers we are.

      It’s good to do stuff like that yourself.

        Yes we make it happen where we are at, with meager resources and desperate means. Some people have become ingenious at recreating their space (freeway and cave side) toilets especially within homeless communities and with those transforming their lifestyle due to the high costs of living.😪

          Ingenuity and making do may be the future for most.

            Here is a beautiful hope: I believe In the coming kingdom there will be works of honor and heart, and no status symbols. In other words, home will be where the heart lives.

      I can’t even imagine having to go down the bottom of the garden all the time 😮

    MOL…we can’t live without an indoor toilet anymore. Granny told us when she was little, they had an outdoor toilet and it was scary, as there also was no flush…yikes…We think you have artistic qualities, Draliman, we remember that you make comics and they were good😸😸Double Pawkisses for a Happy Weekend🐾😽💞

      You don’t want to be going outside when it’s dark and cold 😮
      I’m glad you remember the DraliDoodles 🙂

    What about heating, an indoor toilet AND a heated toilet seat? Have you heard of Japan’s fancy, futuristic toilets? 😂
