For this project, we had to design our own fantasy home. The Fantasy Façade was one of my favorite assignments. I incorporated many of my wish list features. I have always wanted to live in a large cottage-in-the-woods type of home surrounded by large beautiful trees. The exterior is natural stone masonry with a large double door entryway. On the second level, french doors open to an expansive balcony off the master suite. Inside, a giant living room fireplace is made of stone for those chilly nights. An indoor/outdoor sauna and hot-tub for relaxing are a must have.

I have often wondered if one day I’ll actually find my fantasy house just the way little Susan did in the Christmas classic, Miracle on 34th Street.
