More proof I would rather live in a comfortable house than a Cool house.

I like it! It's so retro it's cool kinda like a '90's tribute to bad taste and there was A LOT of it in the '90's. haha
 
Yeah, these people don't look like they're big on reading.

Not big on art either, those walls are mostly empty. And why two kitchens? *boggle*

Plus, I want to take a chainsaw to that building and open it up...a lot. Not a lot of windows for such a large house. Getting outside light inside is so important for human mental health and well-being, and that house looks awfully closed-in on itself.

And man, that living room...or is it a hotel lobby? lol Two-floor ceiling height through much of the domicile isn't a smart way to live, it makes the place noisy and it'll be hard to get good accoustics for a sound system too.

I actually like the interior decoration, though. But it feels more like early 1990s to me, with overlap from the 1980s, the pastel colors and the black/white mosaic patterns and such. Hm, maybe I just don't remember the '90s clearly enough. *shrug*

The swimming pool room was particularly cool, styling-wise. Love the pastel floor tiles, that's friggin' awesome. Still, spending such a large amount of floor space on having a big indoors pool is impractical and braggy, it shouldn't be a thing unless one is a dictator, really. 😀
 
It's kinda cool, but not more than that. These lavish houses also tend to be right in the middle of California or other super crowded and expensive locations and that does not really appeal to me. Lot of them also remind me more of commercial buildings.

It's my dream to eventually build my own cabin in the woods that I keep adding on to over the years to eventually turn into a "mansion". I would prefer that, than these high end homes tbh. All my own work going into it would make it a better sense of accomplishment too and the style would be more "homely".
 
Remind me never to show you guys pics of the inside of our house. The only books we have are for the kids. Ok and a couple in the kitchen.
 
I kinda dig it. Other than the outside (but I think that's the point of the outside). I'd change a good amount of it (like most of the furniture) if I actually lived there, but I'd be fine with the colors.

Holy shit at the fridge in the bar. Its like wider than the double door ones of today but isn't split down the middle. Of course I say that and then naturally the fridge in their kitchen is a double door one twice that wide. Now that I think of it, I'm surprised walk-in fridges aren't more popular these days. I know some people that have like 2 fridges and 2 freezers.

Damn, you're really like stuck in like 15 years ago. Nah, that place is more like if Don Johnson wanted to give you AIDS (by shooting heroin into your scrotum with a dirty needle).

Um, like every single wall in the place has art hanging on it? Ok not every one, but at least half of them do so that's just a bizarrely senseless thing to say. Not enough windows yet multiple rooms have entire walls that are just windows?

Has way more light than it needs. Plus it's more the type of house you'd see lit with neon light after you did a 6ft long mirror line of coke while some nude (other than black sunglasses) bleached blonde woman watches while laying on the mirror next to it in some bizarre pose.

The 2nd kitchen is clearly more of a bar area.

Oh yes, I'm sure they're worried about noise and acoustics.

Yes that is late 80s/early 90s aesthetic.

One painting here and there for an entire wall does not a lot of art make. Like a few paperback novels strewn throughout a house don't make a library... 😛

But this seems to be an American thing. Lots of peoples' homes in the U.S. are basically just painted walls, from pics I see floating around on the internets. Are these rented houses, and people aren't allowed to hammer in picture hooks on the walls...? *shrug* Hell if I know!

A couple walls are just windows, then a lot of walls with either no windows or only quite small ones. What I really like is Scandinavian functionalism, which grew out of the German Bauhaus movement in the earliest decades of the 1900s (which the Nazis then banned in the '30s, because it was too egalitarian, and communist... lol)

Some of the main drivers of functionalism was clean lines and lots of light. There's a number of villas in my city which have large windows arranged so they meet in the corner of a room, or even protrude from the facade like a bay window (all right angles, though... No sloping surfaces.) One such home has a large reading armchair positioned right in that window corner. Another a piano.

Here's just two examples:

(The b&w pictures are of the same house, from slightly different viewpoints.)

That first one has some charm, but the one on the bottom looks like it was made by some hillbilly that's /kind of/ good at building things, but don't get too fancy, and make sure all the materials come from the scrap containers on jobsites!
