It's funny. When I daydream, it all starts out with the kitchen and pantry,
goes on to the mud room/laundry room, then to the oversize garage with shop
space and storage space and then I go to the outdoor design and gardens. I
never think about living room, dining room, bedrooms or bathrooms. When I
realize that I've planned a house without these rooms, I can give myself a
headache trying to fit them around the stuff that is important to me.
