Is this the time to design your dream home?



What are you dreaming of while you've got all this time on your hands?

Are you spending your time looking at "Grand Designs" and thinking through what you would love to do if you had all the world and its resources at your disposal?

So how do you design your own dream home or castle in the clouds?

Been there and done that? Have you thought through what sort of house you are hoping for and whether or not it is possible according to local laws?

What style is your dream house? (Links chosen as examples are from my home town readers will need to apply content to where they are living or wanting to live).

How do you draft a floorplan? (Remember that although at the moment you are only getting your ideas on paper, you may decide some time to take these thoughts beyond and into reality. In which case you are going to need something more than rough sketches.)

And as this is your dream home, you may like to take it off into fantasyland, as J.R.R. Tolkien did as he wrote "Lord of the Rings".
