I'm waiting on Murrmurr....to show us the water filled wooden barrel, under a oak tree, But I bet he is going to have some live plants though...A walk in shower is my dream. With some live, green plants too.
Dream Homes... (past & present), what was, or still is your ideal dream home?

It'd be a bit larger but yes, I'd be walking into a very similar shower, except the toilet and sink would be in there too.A walk in shower is my dream. With some live, green plants too.
That would be the entire bathroom right there. Just stop at the linen cabinet on your way in.
Thomas Kinkade, it is, RR!

This Futuro Home 'lives' quietly at Deep Creek Conservation Park in South Australia and it was built in the late 60s

In the late 1960's through to the 70's, a third of the UK's rail network was closed. Some people turned semi derelict old stations into magnificent homes. There's quite a collection of photos and railway memorabilia with this example. Click the link and see.

This thread got me to thinking. I guess every house that I lived in was my "dream home" at that particular moment in time.
Be it a 10'x50' trailer, An un-insulated house from the 1800's, my stucco palace on the west coast, the Florida pool home, and even my current self built one... All were my dream house at that moment.

This was my dream home. A house among the trees, on a bit more than an acre of land, sloping down to the river below.

Actually, the more I think about it, I'd love either of the cute, bachelor girl apartments that Katharine Hepburn had in Desk Set or the one Goldie Hawn had in Foul Play, espec. Goldie's since the movie was set in San Francisco (one of my favorite places in the whole world). Couldn't find very good pix of either one, sorry.

Speaking for myself, No. Must be a case of great minds thinking alike.

My dream home is traditional/modern mix by the sea.

Oh wow RnR, that's just beautiful, but a friend who lives this close to a beach said he got depressed and moved out, he said looking at the sea in the winter made sad, I must admit the sea on a stormy winder day isn't exactly calming.My dream home is traditional/modern mix by the sea.

I have been lucky to live even closer to the sea than that photo ... it was a wonderful time. Now live in a bushland setting but really miss the calming sound of the waves each night and the never-ending changing scenes out the kitchen window, so dynamic. Yes, very wild during cyclonic winds but no more scary than bushfire scares where I am now. View from previous kitchen sink below.My dream home is traditional/modern mix by the sea.

I find it fascinating, myself. From a beach, that is. Farther out to sea, on open waters, I'm sure it's terrifying.

Tourists pay a fortune to go storm watching in Tofino, BC.
In Oregon, I remember sitting & listening to the storm from our hotel deck.
Both times were highly therapeutic. For someone living there it would be different. A friend’s mother had a beautiful Vancouver Island seaside home. She quickly wore tired of cleaning salt water off magnificent windows and sold the house.
