The things you mention--eaves, quirky spaces--are all wonderful. But I have to admit that a room crammed with books and papers (and a few people) would be my paradise.jenny milchmanhttp://suspenseyourdisbelief.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-79637756424469892052011-10-25T17:05:36.214-04:002011-10-25T17:05:36.214-04:00Fun game!

Also no guest closet or linen closet.<br /><br />But I'd go for one of those big gorgeous kitchens with the center island and lots of conversation stools. I could spend a lot of money in reality on the stuff I dream up for free. :)Julia Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10270211923343731659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-10378256859998824852011-10-25T16:10:49.010-04:002011-10-25T16:10:49.010-04:00Mine would be a conservatory or greenhouse.

I'd fill it with all kinds of hydroponic vegetables and flowers so my characters could have fresh salads and flowers on the table, no matter what the weather outside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-14801657605203585682011-10-25T13:40:00.225-04:002011-10-25T13:40:00.225-04:00On this frosty morning, I would give every charact...On this frosty morning, I would give every character I like an attached garage, and every character I don't like no garage and no remote starter for their car heater and ignition. :)Leslie Budewitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11942314846112875042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-73313993587356814652011-10-25T09:47:01.474-04:002011-10-25T09:47:01.474-04:00I'd love a walk-in closet too -- used to have ...I'd love a walk-in closet too -- used to have one, but now have multiple closets that are too small. I haven't given a character a walk-in closet yet, but I'll have to do that so I can enjoy it vicariously.Sandra Parshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17403144248962124138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-66283135960227655552011-10-25T08:44:59.749-04:002011-10-25T08:44:59.749-04:00I'm cheating: I've already done that--twic...I'm cheating: I've already done that--twice! But the must-have is Nell's fireplace (in the Museum Mysteries), that she added to her tiny converted carriage house. When she's asked to explain why, she says that it made her house feel like a home.Sheila Connollyhttp://www.sheilaconnolly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8056815460076050228.post-49947091457551632522011-10-25T08:33:20.793-04:002011-10-25T08:33:20.793-04:00That's easy: a walk-in closet!

It sounds prosaic, but to a New York apartment dweller, it sounds like heaven. ;) I gave Bruce one in "Death Will Clean Your Closet," and I based it on the recollections of a source who'd lived in a Yorkville railroad flat as a kid, but I had to embellish greatly.Elizabeth Zelvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13944424094949207841noreply@blogger.com
