Oh my goodness, I admire the wholeheartedness of the decor, but...

[TerribleTantrums]

I really don't think I could live in it. Not least because I often get distracted and bump into bits of my house, in this house I would probably impale myself through the heart and die horribly, or loose an eye. Here.

What struck me was the extravagance of the metalwork contrasted with the banality of the soft furnishing and fabrics. I like a bit of metal myself, having quite a bit of sculpture in my house and garden, but this is waaaay Edward Scissorhands.

What compels people to do this?

A clear case of more money than taste.

Is that a giant sculpture of a cross between a spider and a fly on top of the cupboard in the ??? room?

I love it!!

Amazing to evoke such wonderful, natural elements from steel. Very well done, to a high standard and really beautiful.

I'm not too keen on the rest of the decor though.

The spider web staircase is amazing!!

The thing is - none of it goes with the horrible 80s decor. It's just a horrible house.

I love it too!

I bet it looks great in reality. I hate big glass boxes with one artfully placed 'piece'! A la Grand Designs.

Hmm part Gaudi part gaudy - I think the metal and tiling art is overdone - but the sad thing is it would probably work in a mediterranean environmenta villa somewhere coastal - it is just not working so much in 'sunny' Dublin - shame really.

I really like it.

Except for what appears to be a mosaic of Jesus over the toilet. Some things just don't need divine accompaniment.

I agree that some bits are lovely. The peacock gate is nice but there is just too much of it

My eyes my poor eyes!

Just because you can. Doesn't mean you should.

Put me in mind of the Aliens films............

Hmm, looks as though the house sits well in its surroundings though sort of ties in with the metalwork vs furnishing clash on the inside. Just pan away from the main gate to see what I mean.

Hideous.

I have surprised and surpassed myself. I actually love it, spiraling metal and all!

Just because you can. Doesn't mean you should

brilliant comment!

even the outside metal fencing on the street is horrible

some of it I really like
some of it is a bit OTT

The kitchen is an odd mix of sterile modernity and middle of the road country house, but apart from that I like it. I really hate blandness.

If you cleared out the owners possessions you'd have a lovely house there. Few tweaks here and there. I'd give them 1.4 for it, not a cent more. I'll keep an eye on the property register now and see how much it goes for.

Actually, looks like it belongs to an artist who treated their house like a blank canvas and got really carried away. The mosaics look like they could be nice if there were fewer of them.

Well, for once you can't blame the estat agents for poor photos. This one has gone out of his way to make sure you know what's what before viewing....

I love it too.

I love that bathtub, and there are some features that are absolutely stunning! Some of the ironwork is a bit creepy, but I'd love that dragon at my gate
