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! When my husband were in Rome a couple of years ago, we were staying up by the Consulate.

Melinda--our kitchen was orange, too! I've got to find a photo of it to post sometime (tho my poor mom would be mortified).

I had no idea real people (in real, orange bikinis) were livin' it up. And while I agree with CindyK's Wright comparison, I'm thankful that Frank was more prolific with his architecture and decorating than Matti was. (Though I'm fairly certain I saw this whole house for sale at Ikea last month.) I thought this was a lifestyle only Barbie could live up to.
