Having boisterous children doesn’t do too much to keep our homes in pristine condition and I have a lounge that needs more work than I can shake a stick at.
I would love laminate flooring down, with an indestructible 3 x 3 seater combo, alongside some lovely chocolate-brown, or beige curtains for the windows.
I popped on to the Internet to see if I could find anything that I liked, and this just jumped out at me. Yes, I might get tired of the colour scheme in time, but how fab does this look?

After the lounge is cleared up, then I plan to move on to the kitchen and utility rooms. My units are only a few years old, and they are similar to the colour of the ones in this picture. This would be the perfect kitchen size.

The only thing missing from this picture would be the appliances. My old Belling Range cooker has seen better days, and with the slow cooker function out-of-order, I looked for a new one.
I absolutely love this from the Stoves range – the colour is absolutely fabulous, and how much would that brighten up a bland and beige kitchen?
My second choice would be the beige version which is just as lovely, though the red one would be my secret passion.
Moving on to the utility room, there is the possibility of bigger washing machines and tumble dryers. I will continue with my self-centred dreaming of perfection, and nothing less than a HUGE capacity washing machine and dryer would do for me as there are six people in the house.
I have a 9kg washing machine just now, but only a 5kg tumble dryer, so a bigger tumble dryer would be one of my first priorities if money were no object and I could choose absolutely any machine that I liked.
Look at this beauty for a tumble dryer. It is an 8kg LG machine and very near to almost double the size of the load that I can get dried in one cycle with the dryer that I have got just now
Doing washing for 6 means the machines are never off. Two of mine play outdoors football twice a week, so that’s 2 huge loads just on football kit and nothing else. My 9kg machine copes quite well, but for that extra oomph, and the chance of being able to wash the superkingsize quilt, my wishful thinking leads me to my current ultimate machine for washing.
I have an LG already, so it’s easy for me to drool over this stunner.
This one has a MASSIVE 11kg load. It is my current dream machine.
The only thing left on my list for downstairs would be the built-in dishwasher to replace the one I have which is not in very good working order. The runners of the top tray keep popping off and the track is twisted, making sliding in the bottom tray very difficult and heavy.
Looking around, I would be happy to have the Zanussi.
What a machine this would be.
This covers the downstairs of my dream house. Now have to think about what I would put upstairs….
Looking forward to February, I am really excited to let you know that around half way through the month, there is going to be a super dooper giveaway for one of my readers who blogs and wants to benefit from a dream machine to go in their home.
You can keep watching my blog for it arriving, or you can leave a comment on this post with your twitter or email address in the comment and I promise that I will let you know when it goes live ……
