Make Studio is about to turn four years old!  We are busy making special new projects to celebrate this event.  I am making a special project.  Right now I am sketching my ideas for a luxury Colonial house.  So far I have the exterior and the interior.  I am feeling super excited about this project.  I think what’s really exciting is the idea of luxury.  Luxury to me is having a kitchen with a family room and a breakfast room attached, three bathrooms and a powder room, and a bedroom with a large walk-in closet. I asked Garrett, Bess, and Chuck what luxury was to them.  Garrett thought the house should have a king’s room with jewels, gold, and a crown.  Bess thought there should be a throne room and a luxury library with a secret door.  I thought, in addition to that, the secret door would lead to the computer room.  I added to the Lumsden idea!  And, Chuck thought there would be wood furniture, like at his uncle’s house.  Cathy thought there should be a large whirlpool tub for taking relaxing bubble baths.  Now, I want to know, WHAT IS LUXURY TO YOU?!  Please comment.
