I would build a quaint little cottage style home, out in the country. But a little more modern that the average or older version one thing I've always wanted with a home of my own from my child and I is a porch that goes all around the house. And a nice deck in the back. I would want a split level the kitchen, living room and a small bathroom downstairs. Upstairs would consist of my room and my daughters room down the hall and a full bathroom. I would want red oak wood finish on all the wood furnishings, each big room or important room will have a wall with a bay window in it. I would want it painted in an off white or vanilla color. to give it a warm, cozy feeling plus that color matches practically everything. I would decorate it to be ours, and to make it a home for my daughter.
