Would like to know how much they paid the architect let alone construction.
Jim in Anchorage Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 How can someone with such poor taste acquire so much money? A full size horse statue with a lampshade on it's head?

Im sure these folks didnt just come into their money recently. We're talking major bucks here.

I choose not to.
BillsFanM.D. Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 It's certainly unique. Probably not the easiest to sell down the road. Though I doubt resale value was their biggest concern. Jim.....loved the bumpers and flamingos analogy.
Chef Jim Posted March 6, 2013 Posted March 6, 2013 Don't tell me, their favorite color is...............WHITE!!

DC Tom Posted March 7, 2013 Posted March 7, 2013 So what's everyone's favorite couch? The square white one, the overstuffed gray one (that can't be used, since it's full of pillows), the dark gray one that's closer to the TV than the TV is wide, the eye-bleedingly bright tropical floral print bench, the fire-engine red couch, or the neon blue couch? Who the !@#$ has that many different couches? I don't even have that many different pairs of socks.

Corp000085 Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 I think it's neat. I do believe that an unattended child will die falling from the climbing rocks on that center beam.
