      …yeah, my inner twelve-year-old would rock this house so hard: blockbuster party friday night, cartoons saturday morning, bike ride to the candy store then GI joes in the backyard saturday afternoon, SNICK followed by staying up way too late playing D+D saturday night, more D+D sunday morning, then jetski rides and a hot dog cookout before wrapping up the weekend with amazing stories, the young indiana jones chronicles, star trek, and finally falling asleep in my bunk bed…

        Apart from the urinal. Plain steel, no embellishment. And the sauna - plain wood, not even a carving or a ceramic tile.

          I imagine carvings in a sauna would be a bad idea because the hot and humid room can easily fuck up wood. Also if you ever need to clean the sauna good luck cleaning carvings. Ceramic tiles also have to be very deliberate in it’s usage. You put them anywhere besides the floor and you get hot plates ready to burn your skin off and if you put them on the floor you get a nice slippery surface.

          When it comes to saunas you can’t really go wrong with wood. It’s not fancy but it’s super functional.

    Me: 209 photos? There can’t be that many details… Oh my.

    I’m prepared to let them off as there are two slides and the dining table is a Viking ship.

      I agree ! There are a lot of cool things in there. I still think this is a ridiculous size for a house, but it fits the overall theme I guess.

      I like the Viking boat room - it’s the one that looks the least like Sheogorath sneezed in it.

      I would like to visit it like a museum, but I would never live here. There’s only 8 square feet out of 12,000 that isn’t infected with visual plague

    The tension between exquisite craftsmenship, gaudy, and hoarding is amazing. Every single wall is lined with things, nothing really flows together, and it’s super obvious that the people who built this place, along with a lot of the furniture, were very skilled.

    “that’s such a beautiful location! How bad can the inside- oh sweet baby Jesus what’s going on here?”

    But to be honest I think I’d rather have this than the soulless minimalistic monochromatic design we see everywhere these days

    I might not want to make the exact same design choices, but I do think the house reflects a lot of the owners’ personalities, in a great way.

    The interior is… overwhelming… too much input

    How much staff you need to keep such mansion clean?

    There is a whole ass dinnig table between the stove and the sink. And the cables mess in the pheasant room ? So much space and yet a dual purpose bathroom and kitchen room ? The general arragement feels very… caravan ? vacation rental ? also some highly impractical stuff in there.
    However, I am JEALOUS of the storage space. Man, what do you need all of that for ? Also, there seems to be a swan bidet, which is very fun and I genuenely dig the idea of a frog themed bathroom (maybe not this exact one). I can’t bring myself to hate the giraffe chair, it’s very fun. Actually, a fair amount of the decor is fine in isolation, some the carved doors look really nice ! The quantity however, it’s a lot.

      This is objectively a bad sauna (cramped no natural light looks like it needs a good clean) these people are not sauna people.

      This is what a nice sauna can look like if you prioritise the experience.

        Being a Finn I’ve seen a fair few saunas. The layout is weird, but doesn’t look very bad to me. Pretty close to what you’d expect from a sauna in a house. Of course, with all the money that went into that house and the space available, they could have done a lot better. It’s not fancy in the slightest, unlike the other ones you linked. But it’s recognizable as a basic sauna, which is not a given for American saunas.

      Yes, that was my thoughts too.

      It was possibly just as bad, but maybe all the paint dried up and flaked off…
