Mansions


If you had a mansion with the grounds and such of a palace, what would you put in it? I would definitely want a hedge maze.  :)

ooo that would be cool. I would definitely want a big garden and orchard and large conservatory and many cute gardeners to take care of it. :> And some playhouses and a large greenhouse and a big indoor theater and a huuuuuuuge kitchen and...

crap, Ray, now you got me started. covet covet covet.

A big glass atrium would be nice... with citrus trees and lots of tropical butterflies.

I would have stables like King Solomon. Not really. It's much healthier for horses to be outside in wide open spaces. Scratch that.

I'd have acres of tree'd pastures for my animal friends... horses, cows, goats, etc...

I'd have miles of soft, rockless pathways for riding and walking the dogs and kids... surrounded by flowers and caterpillers and ladybugs. And butterflies.

I'd have a stream just big enough to float down in a little boat with fish and rocks and a ropeswing for the kids.

I'd have a massive mahogany library with huge cushy couches and a massively big riverstone fireplace burning cedar chips and frankincense.

I'd have secret compartments and corridors.

I'd have a fabulous indoor racquetball court and Olympic sized pool and air hockey.

I'd have a treehouse bedroom with a hammock and real big trees covered with Sugar Gliders.

I'd have an incredible greenhouse devoted solely to heirloom, organic, year-round tomatoes of divers varieties.

I'd have a bottomless pantry so I could bake anything I wanted at a moment's notice.


Gosh, this is fun! biggrin.gif

We're assuming we also have a staff to care for this mansion, yes?

Hmmm..

Really dont' know. I always dream of having a tight little condo with no yard work at all.

The hedge maze sounds fun but only if it changes around al'a Harry Potter so we don't get bored with it.

Otherwise....still can't think of anything...

Can I just sell the place and travel the world?

Yes, Ros, you can have a staff to maintain anything you have in your mansion, and if you like you're allowed to fly around the world too. Heck, you could have one of those mansionesque jumbo dreamliner planes all to yourself complete with a swimming pool, if you like... (Of course, I imagine swimming in it during severe turbulence would be... uh... unfun...) :)

I'd have my kindergarten class design it.  It would likely end up the most fascinating place in the world.

I would want a built in slide in lieu of some staircases. Also a room that was like a trampoline. Another good feature would be an indoor and outdoor jacuzzi. A roller coaster in the backyard would be fun.

My mansion would be small. Something comfy and cozy on the most spectularly beautiful bit of land I could find. In fact, finding the location might be the funnest part.
