I admire the sheer scale of the tackiness of this house. Built in 2003, they've been trying to sell it for over a year and the price has dropped by $10 million. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/10711-Strait-Ln-Dallas-TX-75229/80510797_zpid/?fullpage=true     Is this the theater where they screen porn?  TIME WARP  dat casino carpet  or is this the porn theater?  Aerial view of the whole mess. I do dig the water park.

Those first few pictures reminded me of someone saying "This is what a poor person imagines a rich person owns" but then it got to the 90's turbo-carpet and non I have to assume a billionaire let his kids design the place.

I'm going to be the odd man out and say this isn't that bad. ... please put down the tomatoes. It's biggest problems are 1.It's Baroque, and 2. combining that with extremely modern additions (is there a specific name for that 80's-90's spaceship style of interior decoration?) and I don't know if it's quite fair to hold 1 against it. It's not baroque's fault that it's pretty much the opposite of what's on trend now, and is only kept around outside of museums by people whose only interest is looking rich as gently caress. So if you can't put that stuff to the side side, this is a pretty decent example of baroque for something that isn't literally a 19th century palace. The furnishings aren't antique, but they're expensive and well matched to each other and the spaces they inhabit. Whatever interior designer they got to do this did a bang-up job; I just hope the money was worth it when they were asked to create rooms for Zack Morris' mansion in the additions.

there wolf posted:I'm going to be the odd man out and say this isn't that bad. It's not the style, it's the fact that it's laid out like like the Vegas strip, with weird interconnecting tunnels taking you to a room in a completely different style that doesn't gel with anything else in the house. It's like they divided the land up and four people had their say in what they wanted each house to be like, then they interconnected them into one hamster playground. And these furnishings are not expensive, they're to give the impression of exuberance. There's even some fake high-end pieces in there. Also, the fact that most of the furnishings are completely ridiculous and just placed as some sort of "chair wealth" symbol: In the bedroom (img 10), there's three loving chairs at the foot of the bed, and they're not even facing the right way to be a sort of exhibitionist bedroom, esp since the bed is too high to see anything. In (11), there's two tiny-rear end chairs right next to a fireplace, situated in such a way that you can't use them with the fireplace as-is, and you can't move them somewhere in the room to surround the fireplace. Furthermore, they look like extra dining chairs. The wine room (14) is an interesting look into the quality of what they're building. The furnish on the chairs is meant to give the impression of an antique, weathered look (back when people bought furniture that lasted long enough to get that), but realistically, this table is probably $500, not a $5,000 handcrafted set like it's trying to emulate. The entire room is like this too, from the "weathered" painted wine storage to the stone facade and archway. I bet this room smells like plastic. In (15), they've got fake-rear end Barcelona chairs. 24 million and it's furnished with bullshit. Also, why does it have three TV's of different types, and that cabling is a nightmare. All this money on image and they can't even get the TV right. In (17), we get the first glimpse this house is made up of many discrete styles that don't work together. What happened to the wood roofs and the earthy colors? Why are the walls white and the fireplace a completely different style? This happens again in (18). Furthermore, all the furniture is way too heavy for that room, but it's that "oversized rich person furniture" places like this always use, though I guarantee you it's fairly cheap. In the kitchen (20), we see an island that doesn't fit in the aesthetic of the place whatsoever. Why is it painted? It looks like the same style of moulding so it wasn't an add-on. Why is the island faucet black but the faucet on the right counter a sort of weathered bronze? Why are they completely different styles? The theater room (22) looks bizarre due to the nonmatching kitchen shelving in the background. I get having a few shelves for the room, but it's like they started a kitchen then decided "gently caress it, theater room". The basketball court's (23) entrance is too large and shouldn't be on the end where the ball is likely to go, as it will crash into the glass table and/or tchotchke holder. It also needs an actual door to prevent this. I also find it funny how also the furniture faces away from the court, like it's someones lovely kid the parents don't actually want to watch play, they just want the kid to shut up about them "watching". This is also the point where we look like we're in a completely different house again. We can also see in (29) they aren't mounting TV's with guards for getting hit with a ball. The water park (28) doesn't go with the style of the place in any way, but it does look p. sweet. I'd swim there. I give this part a light "approve", mainly because the furniture seems reasonable. A few seats around a fireplace, a grill, and a bar. Looks good. The water area also looks fun and like it was thoughtfully blended in, as opposed to just being tacked on in the middle of the yard or something. The floating bar stools in (32) are a nice touch. I'm hereby going to coin the phrase "chair wealth", wherein people seem to buy shitloads of useless seating to show off being rich, or the impression thereof. This place is full of them.

"gently caress it, theater room" sounds right. The waterpark area looks rad. That looks like a fun destination/resort wedding venue that you'd rent out for a week at a time, but gently caress living there.

My main complaint about that massive house isn't the furniture. I'm bewildered that it even exists, and lmfaoing that they're already selling it off 15 years later.

 CHAIR WEALTH! But seriously, it's not like I didn't notice a lot of what you're pointing out; it's just that the bar for faux-baroque mansion style is set very low and I honestly find this to be a better execution of it than you usually see. A style that is literally money-on-display, done cheaply is always going to collapse under the weight of that contradiction, but I'd rate this at least at prime time soap opera set... the modern additions can be someone else's house all together, and they throw up some bamboo huts in the back for the episode at the water park. Actually you know what the modern parts look like? You know how in a normal mcmansion all the public areas and master bedroom will be done up in the puffy-furniture style of choice, but then there's a kids room that's sports themed and it has special bleacher built-ins and a football mural over the bed. It's like that but metastasized to entire sections of the house.

Plus there's real shelving at the end, with wallpaper covered doors. I'm not usually a fan of that technique, but it really serves to downplay the cabinets and let the book wall be the highlight.

I think it came up in this thread before: I put down some new hardwood flooring in my office, and I need to get a chair, but I reeeaaally don’t any to put down a plastic mat. I think it was mentioned that there are chairs/wheels that are a bit softer and this not as hard on a wood floor. How do I find such a thing, what am I looking for? Do I just buy a chair and replace the wheels, or do I need to find one that has them already, or what?
