Almost cruel and unusual punishment to look at this monstrosity after the Frank Lloyd Wright house. And who did they use to decorate? Decorating Den's evil twin...at best? Sheesh. I just love the way all the sofas are not only in the same idiom, but arranged the same way. No spoon needed for gagging, thanks. That's already been accomplished.

Wow, look at all that light! (Yeah, the decor is chintzy, but if I could throw down $2M for a house, I think I could afford a decorator.)

I wonder what year that addition was built?

It's tasteful decor.

Not a fan of the deer head though.

The deer head is in bad taste,,,,they are killed by the thousands every year and in many cases left on the ground with their better parts cut off,,,hips, etc. Should be outlawed. Great house.

I love the sun room with the glass ceiling. I'd be in it all the time. Daytime for reading and art and night time for looking at the stars. Sigh, I need me a lottery ticket.

"5 bedroom and 5.2 bath"....I assume this is another typo and this was 5 1/2 bath? Because what is .2 (or 2/10ths) of a bath? A hole in the floor?

According to my grandma, a hole in floor was the bathroom.

yup. Fabulous house, but who would decorate it like that? It could look so much better done right.
