A weekly maid.
For me it is a cotton candy machine!I would say a soft serve Ice cream machine, the kind they use at Ice cream parlors
With frozen yogurt in it so I can make frozen yogurt cones all summer long lol!
Your Max will do that for you! I loved Hart to Hart! Who wouldn't want a "Max?" Side note--Hart to Hart was playing on the TV in the labor room while I was in labor with my daughter September 29, 1979 (she was born 42 minutes after Midnight on the 30th-same day as BT).Well, let's see. I have two "wants," one of which is a thing/person, the other a concept/process(?).
In the old Robert Wagner series, Hart to Hart, the Harts had a manservant-type guy, Max, who did just about anything they asked. I have always said I wanted a "Max."...
Now...my want here is to have those sheets put on my bed EVERY night. Omigosh, I'd feel so pampered.
This one hits close to home for me. I would love a huge roomy kitchen, but more American Colonial. From the time I was a little girl I have devoured books about the American Colonial period (and anything else historical, anywhere in the world), and I loved pictures of the huge fireplaces some homes had (wealthier ones most likely!) that had several fires burning in them. They were basically walk-in fireplaces where they had several pots going at once. Probably not a good combination with those long dresses though!I always wanted a fireplace in my kitchen. But, one that I could use to cook on also. Something I could put a grate on and bbq indoors all year long. Also with an oven on the side right in the stone. I saw one many years ago where the hearth was almost counter top height. We have long winters here, and I spend lots of time in the kitchen so I would use it all the time for heating and cooking. I have an older house and its not worth the investment because we don't plan on being here after my daughter gets through high school.
My dream kitchen is an old European style with a wall of stone. I'm not big into shiny appliances and granite, or dark woods. Give me terra cotta and old, well worn counters any day...
I have always loved the bagpipes! I don't know if I would want my neighbor playing them but I love bagpipe music.Rocklobster,
that kitchen sounds great... If I would have a house, I want that, too!
Very large and a big wood oven...
But that was not what I thought of when I found this thread..
I always wanted to play the bagpipes since I was 14, and what to say?
I'm on the way of learning it.. hope the smallpipe arrives within the next few weeks and then practice, practice and more practice..
My plan is to get the "real pipe" next summer, I think that could be possible...
and with the Billard Table.. no Pool, but Snooker ;o)
I have always said I wanted a "Max."

Mine might sound dull to most, but my big "want" in my life is to have a bay window in my second story master suite (we live in a rancher and barely have a master bedroom let alone a suite). I have always dreamed of having this big window with a bench that I could sit on reading books, listening to music or looking out at the wonderful view (oh yeah, it has to have that too!). That would be my escape from the world.

The other is something that, when I enjoy it, which is once a week in good weather, it to go to bed with fresh sheets that have been dried on the line outside. The sweet, fresh fragrance is just sooooo nice and the texture of the sheets is so much better than those dried in the dryer. Our bed room smells so good for at least two days. Then the magic goes away.
Now...my want here is to have those sheets put on my bed EVERY night. Omigosh, I'd feel so pampered.
So the ultimate would be to have "Max" change your sheets every day!

I don't think I've seen Hart to Hart so I don't know about a Max

Babies. Dang, I'm old!

What a flashback you gave me. When my eldest son was first born i lived with my folks. I was determined that his birth would not cause my Mom any more work that was absolutely necessary so every day i did our laundry but there were never enough whites for a full load so each day i washed the sheets. I do remember how nice it felt to fall asleep in clean sheets each night, kind of like spending the night in a hotel with your own bed and pillows. I almost miss that time of my life, but not enough to relive it or to wash sheets every day!The other is something that, when I enjoy it, which is once a week in good weather, it to go to bed with fresh sheets that have been dried on the line outside. The sweet, fresh fragrance is just sooooo nice and the texture of the sheets is so much better than those dried in the dryer. Our bed room smells so good for at least two days.

I have two things that are super frivolous that I'd love but realistically know the chances of getting them are slim to none. I'd love a large, glass covered, indoor garden. Not just a green house with potted plants, but an actual manicured with little walking paths, planted in the ground garden with miniature fruit trees and wild ginger and herbs and edible flowers. Something that was extremely beautiful and decorative but that could also provide the hubby and I with items for the dinner table. I'd also love an old, square rigged sailing ship. I know, I'm a little weird, but I just think they would be so cool to have.
I ran into the house and excitedly told my mom that when I grew up I wanted to be a bag pipe player. My husband says when we have a garage I can practice in we'll budget in lessons.
