The only reason I want to be rich is so I can design and build my dream house. My brother is an architect so he can help me fix it up.
SECOND FLOOR
> The Library - Whole room is padded heavily like an insane asylum, save for two large bookshelves on either side, filled with my favourite books. There are grooves and holes on the bookshelves so you can climb it to reach a book at the top. (It wont topple over because it is heavily screwed in.) Books are arranged first by language, then by fiction/non-fiction, then by genre, and then by colour. There are large plushie pillows everywhere in the form of rabbits and cats. There are squishy small fluff sofas lying around. There is room on a part of the bookshelf for speakers filled with Andrew Bird, Erik Satie, and Owen Pallett songs. The room is illuminated at the top by a light that hangs from the ceiling which mimics natural sunlight that is bright but not overpowering when reading. There are warm-white fairy lights sprinkled here and there. To enter the library, you must crawl through a small round secret passage, resembling a rabbit's burrow.
> Bedroom - Just a large mattress in the middle of the room. Low tables will surround either side of the mattress. (This is how my current room exists now and I like it.) There will be pots filled with colourful Coleus plants, and succulents lining the room. There will be a passage on one wall, which is a huge slide that leads into the backyard, so I can reach my plants.
> Art room - two opposite walls are painted Baker-Miller pink, and the other walls are painted beige. The room is very messy with at least three easels of varying sizes. There are a few drawings on the walls. There are paintings everywhere. This room is huge. The light is bright in this room and everything is clear. This room is directly above the toilet on the first floor - there is a hole passage on the edge of this room where you can access the toilet via a ladder. To access this hole, you must lift up the carpet.
FIRST FLOOR
> Rat rooms - a series of 6 small rooms with low-ceiling height. Each room contains a pair of rats that are to be subjects to (humane) pavlovian conditioning experiments. Each room has different atmospheres that are determined by the music played, the colours of the walls, the smells I designate, and my behaviour in that room.
> Pet room - There will be two fish tanks in one corner of the room, one tank with black and grey fish only, and the other tank with colourful fish. Next to those will be a jellyfish tank. Reptiles and spiders will be in another corner. I will let the rats out regularly in this room and the cats and dogs will be kind enough to tolerate that. There will be a very large and very soft dog and cat corner that will be cleaned regularly. Lots of cuddles will occur in that room. One of the walls in this room will be completely clear, and the adjoining room would be a very nice play-area for the dogs and cats... I can't imagine it just yet but I know the basic idea.
> Exhibition room - My art + art I buy will go up in this room. The walls will be covered with it. There will be a few sculptures hanging from the ceiling like swords of damascus... The room is well-lit. There is a contraption at the foot of the room entrance, designed so that humans will have to climb up through into the room, while animals cannot enter at all.
> Bathroom - With both shower and bathtub, I don't care too much. I guess possibly a vanity table for makeup and hair and stuff. The adjoining room is the bathroom.
> Toilet - in a different room to the bathroom. You can climb a ladder on the side of the wall up into the art room.
> Kitchen - I don't know, just a normal kitchen. I don't care too much.
OUTSIDE
> Front Yard - Flowers. FLOWERS EVERYWHERE. No flowers in pots, all in plots. There will be a few small nice-looking trees. A huge hedge separates my land and public land.
> Back Yard - Beautiful vibrant flowers along the perimeter, and depending on how big the garden is, a vegetable + fruit crop growing in the middle. There is HUGE vertical succulent garden lying against the house, and a compost heap somewhere in this. There should be a slide connecting the bedroom on the second floor window to the back yard, for easy access to my plants.
