Strong design choices in this house!

OK so there are 209 photos to look through and I am trying not to feel like a failure because I don't have a cake decorating room and a pool just for pedicure fish. But I'm over 100 photos in and invested now...

Not as invested as the realtor in Florida who is rubbing his hands at the number of hits it's getting but... invested!

I give you this gem.

It looks like something from the Sims!

You couldn't ever put anything down because you'd never be able to find it again, it'd disappear forever in all the patterns. I'd never tire of running up the stairs and sliding down the slide though.

I really like it! It's so totally insane but really fun and interesting. Same sort of vibe as casa batllo in Barcelona, or Dali house.

LisaJohnsonsFacebookMole · 18/01/2025 14:23

Strong design choices is often a euphemism for bollock-ugly but this house is bloody marvellous! Thanks for sharing

CharlotteStreetW1 · 18/01/2025 14:25

The fish pool is genius.

CherryMarigold · 18/01/2025 14:29

This is why I have DH to rein me in because I love stuff and while their stuff isn't my taste I could easily have that much of it but also clutter makes me stressed!

DuskyPink1984 · 18/01/2025 14:30

Looks like the home of an artist. I quite like it. It’s far more interesting than boring grey and beige.

The cake decorating room is the most sane room in the house 😭

Which number photo is that? I had to stop flicking through them due to sensory overload. I quite liked the viking longship dining table though.

Pencilsieve · 18/01/2025 14:36

I need to know about the inhabitants!

NigelHarmansNewWife · 18/01/2025 14:39

Imagine how many skips you'd need if you were refurbishing it?

Sinkintotheswamp · 18/01/2025 14:41

Where's the cake decorating room? What number?

My life would be amazing if I had a cake decorating room.

kellysjowls · 18/01/2025 14:42

Has some incredible elements (and some horrible ones too - fish pool!) but I can't get over the sheer amount of clutter on the walls. They must have dedicated their entire lives at car boot sales Grin

How would you even begin to pack up all that crap!

Having said that, it weirdly feels like a very happy home

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 18/01/2025 14:43

It's VERY Florida. I actually love it, it's so joyful.

PineappleCoconut · 18/01/2025 14:46

Wow

I need to lie down in a white sensory deprivation room now

I'm not sure if there is a cake decorating room but there is a pottery (67, 68 and 69) which has turntables for decorating and stuff.

It’s not a cake decorating room, it’s part of the pottery studio, they are banding wheels, similar to cake stands as they rotate but the are really heavy duty.

PrincessOfPreschool · 18/01/2025 15:01

Oh my. I LOVE it.

A house for people with ADHD.

The slide to get downstairs, the colours, the creativity. It's amazing!

nfkl · 18/01/2025 15:05

The only room that doesn’t make me claustrophobic because everything is so crowded is the sauna actually!
The listing says it was built in 2016, it took less than 10 years to get there, amazing.

PrincessOfPreschool · 18/01/2025 15:16

I very rarely want to be rich. But I would dearly love to live there. The mosaics, stained glass, tiles, COLOURS etc. I feel inspired - but might look odd in a 70s built house in grey, old England.

nbee84 · 18/01/2025 15:18

The sauna was a bit bland, needs jazzing up 🤣

RawBloomers · 18/01/2025 15:29

I love it. Quirky, with a sense of humour. Could be noticing new stuff for years. But I might need a minimalist house somewhere else to recover in after I’d been there for a few weeks!

Magamaga · 18/01/2025 15:38

I love it. I mean I couldn’t live in it but they’re true to what they like and have stuck with a theme. All those slides and stair cases are amazing.

You can't buy taste

a) did the estate agent used to use Tumblr and has just dumped all the photos from his digital camera?
b) the slide!
c) it's a little bit 'Troy Mclure sleeps with the fishes'
