What is your dream house?

I'd want a library for used textbooks.

I want to live in a stone cottage in a forest with a view of distant mountains.

I have a thing about mid-60's gas stations. I love the cinderblocks, the tiles, etc. I would want to convert an old gas station and live there.

Whatever my house looks like I want it to be located away from everyone else.

John, pale blue won't go well with your hubby ken beck's gorgeous hair. Also, you'll need large walk in coolers for your cadavers.

I wanna own one of those cute little baroque houses in the Czech countryside. Not only do these houses look gorgeous but there's also plenty of ridiculously cheap beer and hot Czech boys nearby.

One that comes with staff

Tom Hardy hates blue. So there's that.

I like blue.

Rosecliff is a perfect little American chateau. If a bit feminine. It has brilliant rooms and spaces that look out over the sea. It's very airy. It would be wonderful to be young and party all night in those salons and sleep it off on lazy summer days.

How about something simple and bright

I really like the English Manor style of houses. I'll never be able to afford a big one, but maybe a smaller one someday.

The house pictured is Leona Helmsley's former home in Greenwich, CT.

I would KILL for this house.

Something mid-century, or an apartment on RSD looking at NJ.

a three bedroom condo; a room for me, one for my stuff; one for guests or a study

a balcony

a pool

gated area

boyfriend

heaven

Rose Tarlow's house, magically teleported to the Texas Hill Country. I'd have to have the entire county emptied out just for me, of course. There'd be a terrace facing my own personal valley where I could drink my coffee and watch my horses frolic.

9 East 69th Street

Craftsman house for me. Must include a boyfriend who is handy. And handsy.

The Maloney cottage in Spring Lake, NJ

penthouse in the sky

Here you go, every gay's fantasy

One of those Hobbity-looking, custom-made cob houses with rounded corners inside that you often see in Europe. And without a mortgage.

Ghost Ranch, minus all the development since about 1940.

Someplace with a lot of distance between neighbours. A place in the woods with a long road leading to it would be ideal. My friend lives in such a place and hates it but I love it.

I love Frank Lloyd Wright's work, but who could ever experience one first hand? Here's a 'just right' Wright cottage in Wisconsin that's small, cozy and efficient...and also available for overnight rentals. Delightful.

A five bedroom bungalow with naked Chris Meloni clones in every bedroom.

R10 you copied me!! That's MY dream home! Mostly because of the land. It looks so secluded, which is perfect because I just want to be left the fuck alone.

Handsy?

Love that stone cottage, r25. Thanks for posting the link.

In my place you just walk out to the beach from the back yard

R30, will you have beach friends?

This, with Chris Hemsworth to keep me company.

R31, You will have to visit me to find out!

Madonna Inn meets Graceland, with a roller rink in the basement, a big conversation pit with a gas fireplace in the center, a topiary garden, a koi pond, a stable for my ponies and a tiki bar

I live In it.

This.

A huuuuge mansion on a lake in Montana

I'm with the stone cottage- English style- with a view of mountains. I like, small, cozy and solid = security!

Op? I got the warmest feeling when I read your post.

You sound very sweet.

Something tells me you're going to have a wonderful life (with a wonderful home & husband!)

I'd like something modern and small built of rammed earth with a green roof, preferably heated and cooled passively so the bills to run it are small.

33 Riverside Drive, with the view.

An earthship home.

A Newport mansion, fully staffed. I want to live like the Queen I was born to be.

Somewhere that's green!

Exactly this. I'd be in heaven:

Fallingwater

I like houses. Do you like houses? I hope you have a nice house. I wish people were nice to me. If I had a house I could have parties and people would have to be nice to me. Are parties fun? I've never been to a party. The bare tree branches want to kill me.

Deep South plantation.

This is still my goal.

W&W, R31 .

I live in mine. Lol, the best part of that is furnishing every room just the way I like. HAPPY!

Something glassy and modern in a wooded area.

I like those glass walled houses but I would have to have those electro-chromatic windows that darken electrically with the touch of a button.

Surely if you live in a glass house in the woods you'd have a terrible problem with insects in the summer.

Bugs would be all over your windows, trying to get to the interior lights.

I do like the the wooded setting of the New Canaan houses in The Ice Storm.

As well as the wooded setting of the friend's house in Ferris Bueller.

Mid-century masterpiece the Farnsworth house... drolling....

This:

That looks like a mid-century outdoor studio apartment, r58. I love it, but why not another room or two?

Thank you R39.

R5, I think light green looks best with red hair, so if Ken wants the house that colour, I will paint it so.

I want one in the middle of the street.

here you go, R61 >

r60 I like that shade of green, too, John. I have lots of sheets and pillowcases in that color. I do not have red hair, however.

I would change the third-floor windows though.

These spazzy wooden plank houses are disgusting.

English country cottage in Wiltshire. £300k

Really, a thatched roof R66? Are you SURE?

The Farnsworth house is badly sited and it floods. Plus it's creepy at night.

People in glass houses....

[quote]Really, a thatched roof [R66]? Are you SURE?

Why is that so hard for you to believe?

I was a thatcher in a past life.

What is "thatch"?

What's "thatch", precious? What's "thatch"?

"Thatch" and "thatch"! What is "thatch"?

It's better than those spazzy clapboard houses that look like garden sheds.

An apartment at 834 Fifth Avenue

Something simple, like Harlaxton in the UK...

[quote] What is your dream house?

The one I'm living in.

Beachfront in Southern or Central California, semi-secluded, built of natural stone and wood.

Or Michael Corleone's Lake Tahoe house in "Godfather II"

You'll just have to grin and bear it.

As much as I would love to own and live in an English castle, imagine the heating bills. The grounds maintenance costs. The interior cleaning and repair costs.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$...

Do you like to dream? What do you dream about? I dream of some of you sometimes. I dream that you are all my friends. I do not have any real friends. When I ask people if they will be my friend I ask them what they dream about they usually say they dream I'm dead and they will have a party. My mother screams at me that I took her dreams away when they ripped me out of her cursed womb. Will you email me your dreams? Maybe I can dream them too. Coconuts look like hairy brains.

This is supposed to be a 'dream' thread.

However nice your English castle, who'd choose that awful English weather?

I don't think I would like to live in an abode that required a daily staff to keep it up and envy invoking.

No gardeners, maids, butlers, cooks, handymen, etc. and their requisite payroll.

Therefore Biltmore is off my wish list.

10050 Cielo Drive

Words cannot express, tasteful friends. Definitely not my dream decor, a house filled with life size cutout people.

Wow, r86. Thanks for sharing. That house is simply awful. Kind of a "how not to waste your money" example.

I think it's supposed to be an hommage to Robert Venturi, but yuck.

I would love that spread in CO. that Tom Cruise is selling...Great views.

Worth a mere $78 million!

[quote]Worth a mere $78 million!

....yet not even a hint of good taste anywhere.

If I was a house, this would be me.

R15 - did you mean "gayted" area?

Oh damn.

This thread is from years ago so R15 is probably dead by now. I'll, never, never know if that's what he meant.

This is close.

I love Santa Fe.
