Right here are the rules.

You have a budget of £1,000000

You have to find a hideous house with rank decor and nasty stained shagpile carpets. Extra points awarded for gold gilt taps and bars or entertainment rooms and pink flamingoes on the ornamental pond/rockerie. AND if anyone can find a room which has carpeted walls and ceiling they will win hands down

Happy hunting.

OMG - sorry if that really is a MNer'shouse - the rest of it looked lovely, but the bathroom was just a bit too busy for my taste.

MrsSpoon · 20/02/2006 22:07

I'm sure I recognise the house/furniture on Jackieno's link too??? Although I live nowhere near it?!?!??

MrsSpoon · 20/02/2006 22:08

Doh, just noticed Bluesky's post and now remember whose house and furniture it is and why I've seen it before.

CountessDracula · 20/02/2006 22:08

Hey JackieNo don't worry about it - yours stood out for miles for actually being rather nice
I was hoping mine wouldn't come up - thankfully it didn't!

Still very .

Looking through all the pictures on the websites trying to find ones for this thread made me realise how cluttered and untidy my house is. Must have a clear-out...

pootlepod, your first two houses are fab! ok the decor not quite to my taste, but the houses themselves and the ground, i would love.

The fairly hideous, and the too many beams one.

Anyone got some spare cash ?

I know Orinoco, hence the challenge it is hard however, I wish dh was here. I'd just tell him to find something really nice and he'd find a corker straight away. Pub carpets galore!

Hattie05 · 20/02/2006 22:55

I haven't seen her post for a while so perhaps she has changed her mn name.

OP posts:
WideWebWitch · 20/02/2006 22:57

I think I know. Is she married to a builder (trying not to give anything away here and I could be wrong!)

Hattie05 · 20/02/2006 22:58

How do you all know the house? have you been there? or has she shown pics before.

goldstarlover · 20/02/2006 23:00

obv someone with farrrrrrr too much money

Hattie05 · 20/02/2006 23:02

Oh, was it someone who offered it out to mnetters whilst she was away?

Looking at the hall pic rings bells with me.
