To ask you to show me your gorgeous fancy houses?

There was a thread recently asking people to brag about their wonderful kids, it was really sweet!

It got me thinking, what about the homes we love and are super proud of? If you're anything like me your home is your castle and safe haven, and I just KNOW there are people here with ridiculously gorgeous spaces in their homes! (Self confessed house porn addict, love looking online at the new listings locally 🤣)

Soooo show me your fabulous houses, or even just little parts of them you absolutely love, brag about your achievements and hard earned beautiful homes ❤️

Thank you! Off to look at Flexa Freja now.

@BarbaraofSeville

Well our house is far from impressive and well overdue a deep clean but we've got a room that almost no-one else has and will be jealous of, which is a foster kitten nursery and rehabilitation spa for their mums.

And no, you're not seeing it because they make more mess than you could ever imagine.

But here is one of the kittens lazing on cat hair encrusted trousers.

Oh, you only have ONE kitten spa? I have two, and a puppy boutique, just down the hall from my shell grotto and giant panda salon, which opens out onto the private lake where the white peacocks can show off their magnificent plumage.

Our garden and a bit of cat arse.

@Bromse

No, someone might recognise it & I don't understand why you want to see. However I will however post a picture of one like it in a nearby vicinity:

www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/118644704#/media?channel=RES_BUY&id=media14&ref=photoCollage

That is almost identical to my house from the outside though I have a front wall half way across the end of the drive. Inside it is different and I have a downstairs loo. The back garden is much the same. A very good match.

I think the OP was interested in how people have decorated/designed their own houses and what they like about them.

Parts of my home, unedited.
Oh you get gorgeous sunlight! Ethereal almost! X

Lovely garden, Salsa, and I love a black cat. I've had two and they were both real characters.

ivfbabymomma1 · 16/02/2022 19:51

@PaddleBoardingMomma it's apart of my bedroom, we knocked a wall down between our bedroom & a box room. So for that reason I use it everyday but I can't imagine I'd use it it it was a whole separate room!

@esloquehay

Don't think anyone on Mumsnet would want to see any shots of my 2 bed housing association flat...
You are wrong!, I really don’t care what size someone else’s house is or if it’s owned or rented, what I am very interested in is how it has been decorated as I love interior design, in fact I am more impressed with people who have made attractive living space out of a one bedroom flat or similar, it’s easy to make a big place, particularly if it has character features, look great, it’s much harder in a smaller place especially if it lacks features to look good, it takes a really good eye and I admire that.
Lovemusic33 · 16/02/2022 19:52

Just have a look through right move 🤣

My house isn’t amazing, it’s a council house but if I posted photos of my dodgy decor it would probably out me.

DomesticatedZombie · 16/02/2022 19:53

Here's a better view, from the deck of my private ferry.

Honestly, OP, if you want to drool over dream houses, have a look at Isola Bella. It's jaw dropping.

SalsaLove · 16/02/2022 19:53

And a few others. It’s not a fancy house but we love it and our DCat is a gorgeous soft furnishing. 😍

We don't have a hidden doorway to a library, but we do have a door to the study that everyone assumes is a cupboard. It's a converted garage so quite a big room.

JudgeRindersMinder · 16/02/2022 19:54

[quote Oesro]I recommend you all move up to the north east of Scotland. Look at this! I’ve been eyeing it up this afternoon.

I will probably be able to hear the weeping of londoners from up here: £300k probably only gets a studio flat these days

That’s quite local to me….the Londoners can weep at what £300k buys here whilst we weep at the comparative salaries

PaddleBoardingMomma · 16/02/2022 19:55

@AmberLynn1536 yes this exactly! Fancy can be a gorgeous little space made somewhere, mine are 🤣 (fancy is also subjective)

My lovely home
A skip would have been luxury to us🤣
Sayitisnotso · 16/02/2022 19:56

How gorgeous! If this house is only a few streets away from you then I imagine you live in a very nice house also🙂

Weedoogie · 16/02/2022 19:56

Really like the work we had done on our living room

I am still awaiting the OP to put up some pictures Wink

@MissConductUS

I love sitting out on our second story deck and having a coffee as I look out over the woods. The cats love it out there too if the weather is nice.
That looks like heaven you lucky duck x
Handsnotwands · 16/02/2022 19:59

Do you remember when that prolific fantasist posted a photo of “her bedroom” which was recognised as actually being a hotel 😂?

AmberLynn1536 · 16/02/2022 20:01

BarbraofSeville your kitten is absolutely beautiful! 😍

I did post a couple earlier, honest! Some posters can see them but not everyone, I'll try adding them to this post

Wow!! Australia??

@PaddleBoardingMomma
Thank you. That's my bedroom with the filmy floor length curtains (H&M £17.99 per pair) I bought two pairs because I don't like heavy curtains and they're washed and dried in a couple of hours. They're a linen mix
Yes all after midday in the sitting room and bedrooms and kitchen, utility + bathroom in morning. Courtyard gets half and half.
