Your Dream House

I love the idea of a dome house, my friends have an "almost dome" - it is more like an octagon and I have always loved their home. As Twitchen Kitten said, there is not much storage. It is a great style of house for a vacation or retirement home.

I was lucky enough to live in my almost dream home for the last 15 years. I say almost, because it was a dream home that was also within my budget. The only thing I would have liked to change was to put in a complete gourmet kitchen, but I never had the money to do it.

I have pictures, but I don't see any way to post them here. It is basically a 1970's ski chalet, with lots of wood and natural stone. Open floor plan, with the living room, kitchen and dining room all open as one big room. Living room ceiling was over 20 feet high with a floor to ceiling natural stone fireplace. There was also a stone fireplace and jacuzzi in the master bedroom.

For Biker, the basement opened into the garage and had large doors, so you could drive cars into the basement to work on them. The garage was also heated.

I say was in my description, because I just sold the house and moved down south. The closing on my dream home will take place in the next few weeks. We are now living in a great place, but it is a rental. Looking for that next dream home to complete the next chapter of our lives.

This would be a disaster in my mind

Do people actually live like that?

I haven't known anyone. Like I said, it may be designed like that but it will cluttered within a week of unread newspapers!

I know people with homes like this. I don't know how they keep it clean like that. I think the maids have tricks - no one that is an average middle class home here has a house that does not look lived in - only those who are millionaires around here. There's plenty of them. We work on their audio systems all the time - goddamn gorgeous homes on the water.
