I toured a dome home many years ago and didn’t like the rounded walls and lack of storage. What storage there was was at calf level. They are the strongest homes, however. Did you know about the all steel or metal homes built in the 1940s? There are many in California, and you can literally take a hose to the walls.

I could build that…better and better looking for $7500. Be realistic folks…they’re not for everyone…stylish as they seem to be!? I would rather have a rustic, efficient as hell, log cabin! “some folks want to keep up with the Joneses…I am the Joneses!

Regarding the Ventura fiberglass home, I visited the instore display of this home at Macy’s in New York City in 1972. I fell in love with it then, and still admire the same design today. Wish I had purchased one.

When my husband were in Rome a couple of years ago, we were staying up by the Consulate. Just down the hill from our hotel was a little restaurant in the middle of the sidewalk area that looked much like this. I believe it had more concrete involved, but looked very chic in the evening with the twinkling lights and the bustling people inside. And all of the nightlife peering in at the warm scene from all 4 sides. Instant bistro!

Cindy- I know! My husband reminds me daily, along with all the other things I’ve thrown away over the years.
