I will live in a castle when I win lotto. It will be an artists retreat, I will turn over a floor to them.

Will you have a throne? I want the Painted Lady, the Victorian. I'll fill it with antiques and happy children . We'll have tea parties and make lots of noise.

Rollinggirl, only in the Queens guest bedroom, which I will, of course, keep for Margo. She will be very busy getting her portrait painted in all her hats.

So moving back to favourite homes...

Minimalist clean lines with no clutter still appeals to me & I would prefer it on the lake or rolling hills in the country. Definitely want no castles to spoil the view!

That's okay Louie castles and minimalist houses are seldom built in the same neighborhoods. You can have your nice organized house with clean lines and no annoying clutter. Tribble will have a big castle far away with lots of artists , rooms and things to entertain them. I'll put my Victorian in the middle and have a tea party with the Mad Hatter and my baby friends. Then everyone can be happy for a bit.

Well you see rolling I too would like to welcome artists & even have a tea party now & again as long as the Queen behaves herself...you know that line out of the story...beware of rabbit holes & little doors with bottles of mysterious potions...haha!

Only potion free tea . I'll bring the ... I don't know tea cakes and paint a picture of Rory for you. I promise to steer everyone around the rabbit holes but I'm not that great with doors, they have to be accessible. ;) Hee hee. I have piles of hats since I moved to the south too, so I can provide big hats for everyone.

Well rolling I would like a minimalist house with no doors! It would be fun to have some curved walls inside so the Mad Hatter might find it interesting enough!

They don't have nearly enough info on that house. Anyway, I can always pop in and out a chimney with my umbrella I used to be a Nanny you know. Wait now I'm mixing old movies. I think the Mad Hatter would be interested anywhere he is mad after all. We'll give him some keys to jingle. The hallways in that house would be great for getting up some speed in my chair. Talk about acting wild. One question, where does one hang there hat?

My dream house would be built on a cliff, overlooking a lake backed by mountains. It would be off-grid, with solar panels and its own water supply. Preferably with a moat and drawbridge to discourage visitors :)

Gothic Spanish or Tuscan Mediterranean - so the castle would be my first choice. Dreaming away....

I selected clifftop.. But I like this on a beach!! <3

I want the Victorian as my Winter home, and the Lake House as my Summer home. Cos I couldn't make up my mind which I like better. I love older homes with their quirky designs and interesting details, yet i love nature, too! Maybe the Vic home by a lake?
