How is a private indoor basketball court not sustainable? It takes no energy to run and has no carbon emissions beyond that exhaled by ballers breathing hard while playing

I am sure it is temperature controlled no matter how much use it gets.

The scary monkey towel rack would give me nightmares.

But I'd happily roller skate on the basketball court.

How many houses had Maria seen when she made these decisions? She'd really never laid eyes on a faux Tuscan special? Where did she think her cabinets came from? And does she know what "authentic" means?

So many questions. Perhaps we can find the answer in the house's library, which houses the family's lovingly collected and read books.

“I want a basketball court, but an upscale one. It shouldn’t look like a basketball court.”

Is that an air hockey table by the Coca Cola sign?! That’s no regulation table.

I was thinking that so much of it was monochromatic. Then I got to the rooms with color and I disliked them even more. This house looks like it was designed by teenagers who kept saying, “You know what would be cool?” and then threw everything they thought of in there. “Our house is going to be SICK!”

Gorgeous both inside & out.

It had such potential--gorgeous exterior, good bones--but the interior design ruins it.

Damm… I was about to buy it and plan a 25 m pool for my training.

It sort of feels like if you ate too many macarons but then you still had to eat a bunch of macarons.

Hahahahahhaa

It's shuffleboard - or a mini version.
