design and live in my own house

I have decided that I want a sunken living room, just two or three steps down, with a fireplace at one end. The steps surrounding the room with provide lots of extra seating, especially in front of the fireplace and give it a cozy feel. I would also like little planters built into the bottom of the windows so I can plant some grasses and such so it looks beachy. And I want a palm tree.

i want to build a little house behind my parents, we live back in the woods and theres 20 acres landlocked behind our ten, and i would like to buy at least some of that and build my little house. i want a master bed and bath on the second floor, and maybe when i can afford it a little glass hot tub room right outside (sitting on the roof of the main floor with red tulips outside) main floor have the kitchen dinning and living room, basement half woodstove/storage/laundry, the other half a sittingroom/ extra bedroom. i would also like to design it kinda beach resort-y, lots of blues and calm water colours, ideally a hammock/hammock chair in the living room to add the illusion of beach, and a fireplace somewhere. i think thats basically everything lol we’ll see if i can pull it off.
