It would have reclaimed wood floors, a lofty ceiling, a little loft to store my stashes of ash reed and Belguin linens, and canvas fabric, and a comfy chair and cozy lamps,and ancient cupboards,and a work table. It will have hints of greens and blues, and whites-to -browns. And a little pot belly wood stove.And smell of herbs and spices.
