Build-n-Share Challenge #13
#13 Best Laid Plans
This Week’s Challenge Specifics:
You close up your previous case file, happy in the knowledge that the Winter Showdown has been completed and completed well.
Tapping the intercom you ask Rose if your next client has arrived, she says that they are just walking through the door.
You go out to meet them and see a young mom struggling to get a buggy up the stairs. Offering your help, you can't help but
notice her startling green eyes. As you both get the buggy back on terra firma, you offer her your hand.
"Mrs Johnson I presume."
"Please call me Kaye. It's lovely to finally meet the architect that we've heard so much about. I'm sorry but Kieran couldn't make the appointment today, his mother is unwell and he has had to go and visit them.
"I hope that it is nothing serious. Let's go through to my office shall we?"
Rose interrupts "Can I get you a drink?"
"That would be lovely, do you have any green tea? I am still feeding little Kaiden here." She motions to the baby in the buggy.
"Of course, I'll bring it in when it's ready."
Kaye sits on the couch by the window and unstraps the baby, unzipping his warm winter snuggly and places him over her shoulder.
Rose enters and places the tea on the coffee table.
"Could you hold this little man for me while I drink this? I hate having hot liquids around him."
"Of course." You say, a little hesitantly, wondering if the baby would be safer with his Mom and the hot liquid.
Kaye gets up and hands over the wriggling Kaiden. Trying to get him into a comfortable position, you ask "So, I understand that this little one is your first child?"
Kaye responds with an affirmative nod and a smile as she sips at the tea. "We are planning to have more, but we are happy with it just being the three of us at the moment. We really need more space, we are in an apartment at present and my gorgeous little man is in with us at night, it's lovely having him so close, but I find myself waking with every little movement he makes. On the other hand, I think Kieran could sleep through world war 3." She chuckles a little.
"So you are definitely looking for something with two bedrooms then?"
"Yes, in fact, we have found the perfect house, it's just a shame that there's already someone living there. We do have a plan of the place though, do you think you could build us a replica?" She hands over the plan
Juggling the baby and the sheet of paper you are handed is more complicated than you thought it would be, but you manage. Little hands try and reach out and you find yourself in a battle of tug of war with a 1-year-old.
Feeling a little more satisfied than you think is appropriate after having won the battle, you place the plan on the desk and give it some thought.
"I am sure that we can come up with something. Tell me a little bit more about yourself and your husband so that I can get a feel for your tastes."
"Well, before Kaiden, I worked in journalism, but I want to be a stay at home Mom, I don't see the point in having children if you are going to ship them off to nursery 5 days a week. Kieran is more ambitious than me, he is a scientist, he is working on a cure for the common cold at present, so he is at work quite a lot, I must admit it would be nice to see a little more of him..."
"What sort of budget are you looking at for this project?"
"My parents were recently killed in a boating accident, and as sole heir, I will soon have the funds to build my dream home. However, Kieran and I do have quite a bit in savings, my parents set up a trust fund that matured when I had my first baby. So I have $250k for this part of the project."
"This part of the project?" You ask.
"Yes, we will be looking to extend our little family in the future and as such, we will be back to ask you to complete some additions once my parents estate has been finalised."
"Well, OK then! Any favourite colours or colours you don't want? What sort of style were you thinking of?"
"As long as the colour scheme is quite muted and the furnishings aren't too modern or too archaic, we are happy to leave all those details up to you."
Kaye stands up, takes the baby from you and straps him back into his buggy.
"It was lovely to meet you, and I am really looking forward to seeing what you come up with for our new home."
"Likewise, I hope that Kieran's mother is OK and that he can get back to you and that lovely little bundle soon."
"Me too."
As you go to shake her hand, she surprises you by pulling you into a hug.
"Well." You say as you gather your wits, "We should be finished within the fortnight."
"Wonderful, you take care now." You gesture to Rose to help Kaye down the stairs with the buggy.
"What a lovely lady." You think to yourself.
