Granny's bordello. When she was in her crack cocaine phase back in the 1980s.

Quite like those imitation Roman murals they've pinned up all over, but the rest is like acid reflux, gallstone & fat-clogged arteries all at once.

Some highlights...

I'd really like to see the enhanced version of the sink plaque.

Would you prefer the haunted wax statue maid or menacing animation robot maid?

Accent glamour shots.

Imagine having a hangover and looking at that ceiling. My head hurts just thinking about it.

It took me a while to get through the pictures (the bottle says to only take 8 Tylenol per day), but I particularly appreciated this shot:

I'd heard of drinking a nightcap, of course, but keeping a decanter of curacao in the bathroom?

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.earth 3 points 4 days ago

That could just be Listerine, but the owner probably does just chug it every morning.

it's entirely possible somebody decanted their Scope.

[–] Shave_MyBeever@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Some mouthwashes do contain alcohol, although the Curaçao would be preferable.

built in 2002...? it looks like it was furnished in the 80s.

I initially thought it looked like a conceited villain's lair, but there's so much stuff crammed in that people would have trouble simply moving around, let alone duking it out in the final showdown.

Although, I like the number of busts--there's always something available to hurl no matter which room you're in.

You know one of those necks flip open to reveal a button that leads you to an even busier room

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

The idea of villains being high-modernist minimalists is largely a product of Ian Fleming‘s biases against modernist architecture (he even named a villain after the architect Ernő Goldfinger).

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 8 points 6 days ago

It’s let down by the conservative colour palette. Replace some of that wood with chrome and add some more saturated colours and it crosses over into hyperpop/vaporwave maximalism.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 7 points 6 days ago

Looks like the current White House.

[–] El_Scapacabra@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

The room of requirement in Hogwarts Legacy when you use all the styles and all the furniture.

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

They sure have a love for trinkets. Bit expensive tho.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 6 days ago

Is... is it a crime to rig an AI bot to spam these idiots inboxes with fake identities professing sincere interest?

So that these delusional morons end up waiting and waiting, untill its too late to drop the price, and now they just have to liquidate?

... Genuine question, can you legally do that?

I had no idea what the opposite of my taste would look like until now. What do you call this style? Gaudy?

[–] Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz 25 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

“More money than taste”
Some people have millions to spend on decoration, but they don’t really know how to make it look good. They may have seen a few pictures of a fantasy palace in a movie, but that’s about it.

I would have hired an interior designer and an artist to design the place according to some of my broad guidelines. I may have a general idea of what I like, but I would leave the details to professionals who know what they are doing.

[–] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Gaudy or ostentatious maybe?

I like the blue and gold couch in the theoretical sense as a focal point for a less busy room. Busy maybe as well to describe the style?

Maybe just: too much.

Garrish and/or Demented, in the dementia sense of demented.

This really is just the modern equivalent of a Pharaoh's tomb, as if they can take all of stupid tchotchskes with them, into the afterlife.

At first I didn't think it was that bad, like ok its ritzy and pompous af. But one of the bedroom photos started giving me vertigo... every surface of these rooms is filled with repeating textures and clashing colors, and enough busts to make OnlyFans feel jealous.

[–] human@slrpnk.net 21 points 1 week ago

A minimalist I see.

Also, balsy choice having a bust on the corner of the balcony.

[–] Sarcasmo@piefed.social 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

This is how I imagine Ben Franklin's condo.

[–] jqubed@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Some of it might make sense if it was an older, historic home, but this was built in 2002!

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.earth 8 points 6 days ago

McPenthouse

I think I could find less marble in a quarry.

Is real estate that crazy in Ann Arbor that $7 million for 5,000 sq.ft. makes sense?

[–] hovercat@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

For a penthouse in downtown? It's steep, but not entirely out of the question. There's a nearby 2200sqft unit that sold for about $900/sqft, so $1400/sqft for a massive penthouse isn't unbelievable. I doubt they'll quite get that, but wouldn't be shocked if it sells for over $5mil.

Ann Arbor is crazy expensive for the region...

The double high heel chairs just top it off for me. * chefs kiss *
