I think today’s housing theme is “too much ___”.
Nice. The library has “not all who wander are lost” graffiti. Though… that’s a TON of work. Way more than I want to put into a place.
I don’t even know where to start with today’s batch of houses. There are so many WTF moments. Even the cool and pretty ones this week are all ones where I wouldn’t want to live there. And the murder stair/hall combo? Just yikes.
Hi kitties! Harry is looking dapper today.
Pool our funds house – I can either chip in about an hour’s worth of the gardener’s salary, or I can volunteer to sit around all day, keeping the furniture from floating away.
Cool, but house – Sorry, not for me. I need a home where I can tell whether I’m drunk or not.
Interesting, but house – As above, but also, all those sharp angles are shredding my corneas.
FloBoHoHouse – Tennis racquets as art? You’re just trying to string me along with that one. I have Love Love for this one. Get it Love = 0 in tennis, so 0 love? Too esoteric? Too tennisoteric?
Colorful odd way house – Color me odd, cuz I love it all. Like want to marry it love, not tennis love.
Odd in Utah house – What else could it be, it’s Utah.
Too much white house – Maybe, but I’d have thrown a few white sheets over some of their other decorating choices.
Entertainment center house – That’s called a Wine Cellar, dear.
Over the top house – Wish I’d kept some of those white sheets to go over the top of most of this.
Live like a Viking house j- Does that mean it comes with a license to pillage and loot your neighbors?
Ladder in the kitchen – Think how thin I’d be if I had to climb that ladder to get to my fridge!
Well, you asked for my opinions and you got them! Huh? You didn’t ask for them? Well, keep them anyway, I don’t want them.
So many things to love today! Carnegie library to restore (by someone else, not me). Sunk cost in knitting (talk to the generals in Vietnam about this). Restoring a ruin virtually. I’ll take the Chippendale manor if you trade the art for a gardener And a housekeeper. The house on the Colorado River is very appealing…until the river runs dry.
Omg yes let us buy that manor house
