I found my dream home.

[Jesda]

Everything would be plain, white, and rectangular:


I <3 clean minimalism.

Strangely enough, my #2 is a southern plantation style house.


Might be due to where I grew up, but big covered porches are the cats meow.

[Urabus GodofTraction]

If I was brown I'd have a plantation house staffed by unemployed, white, liberal arts majors.

[krimsonviper]

Good grief, that first picture is fuggin' handsome as all can be.

That much glass scares me. At night everybody can see in but you cant see out = paranoia. 2, waking up to the sun rising every morning would piss me off real quick. 3, be sure to stock up on Windex. The only this I like about this house is the location (which is dreamy), and the waterfall pool.

The Plantation house is alot of house. Im mad you have millions to toss around

[sbird1]

Plantation house, yes. Glass house... no thanks. Maybe with some wallpaper.

[Bubba1]

I agree. I would choose the Plantation house before the Glass house.

[Kompresshun]

I'd be all about the plantation style house, even though I like modern styling, I wouldn't go near #1.

Personally, ranch style houses are my favorite, preferably with 1-2 bedrooms upstairs and on a full basement. Put that on 2-3 acres of land with a large shop out back and you've got my dream home. Put all of that on lake front property and I would never ask for anything else.

Oh, good point. That would bother me a lot even if it was on a secured compound surrounded by doberman pinschers.
I do love minimalism though, but that house might bring out the dormant OCD in me because it's all white. Dirt. Agh. I'm fine with dirt if I can't see it. Wait...I have a white car now.

I love porches..they're great for watching thunderstorms. Sigh.

Oh, just noticed the peeping tom tripod setup in the minimalist house...can you see Mandy Moore's place on the other side of the lake?

Its not peeping if I notify her through cards, letters, flowers, and chocolates in advance.

Indeed, just need to hire some servants

[Ace2cool]

One-way mirrors for windows? :

[Speckid4]

Not a huge fan of minimalism designs. Makes me feel like I could never sit down or would have to wear a suit and tie all day. I like to relax so I would pick the plantation house over the first one 7 days a week. When you do aquire such a piece of real estate....nico meet at your house??? But you have to build a full size road course in your backyard first.

I would require guests to walk through a sterilization chamber. Its my asian custom of making people remove their shoes, taken to an awesome extreme.

I might allow wood flooring to sneak in:

We've been trying to buy what's close to a dream home (a realistic one) over the past two months. California 5 level split level house. Hardwood floors, 3br, 3 ba, partially finished basement, fireplace, 2.9 acres, a 2-car attached, car port with garage door, and a 24x36 detached garage. Detached garage is heated and has running water.

Unfortunately, buying a house is expensive, time consuming, and most sellers are effing insane atm.

[hachiroku781]

That is close to my dream house. Except replace the white leather with with black leather and Dark bamboo flooring for the living room, concrete floors for the hallways and black granite in the kitchen/ bathroom. Oh the background has to be Boston. as you guys can see I am clearly a gay designer at heart.

[Dattebayo]

Concrete floors are for poor people.

Idk, looks pretty baller to me....

[Encryptshun]

This aesthetic is best appreciated by people who have either obsessive-compulsive disorder or a full-time housekeeper.

[dre1507]

i dunno about dream house, but my dream bedroom would be setup like this: T.V. mounted to wall. comfortable recliner in a corner and the most comfortable rug i can afford........it's easier for me to fall asleep on really soft ground than on a bed.

[PapaSmurf2k3]

Jesda, where do you live now? Wanna give us a pictoral tour?

[Razi]

Mandy Moore's attic.

[dre1507]

lol.

[nissangirl74]

Minimalist - never
Plantation - all day long

I still want the badass apartment above the badass garage. Please and thank you.

Same boring apartment I've been at since 2007:


Straight out of the 90s!



When I say "found my dream home" I mean "found my dream home." We'll see where grad school takes me.

I considered buying in 2008 and I'm glad I didn't. $200k back then meant going 70-80 minutes outside of town way the heck out to Wentzville, plus there's that whole real estate crash thing.

[nissangirl74]

Now is the time to buy, so they say. Might not be a bad time to start looking. The houses out here are going for "dirt cheap".

[szh]

Awesome!

[dre1507]

slide house is by far the coolest house i've ever seen.

I like how the diagram says you have to put your arms in the air.

Meh.
