[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just watched the video. Still not my taste, but she clearly loves it and every detail seems personally meaningful to her. My version of house porn is more like the cape cods in the hallmark movies with stained glass windows so clearly my aesthetic is so very different. I do not like marble, cavernous, cold rooms with hard, modernistic edges or extreme minimalism. But again, she seems happy as a clam. [/quote]

I actually do like marble, cavernous rooms with hard modernistic edges and extreme minimalism.  I assume you mean cold as a feeling rather than an actual temperature, as I'm not crazy about the temp either.  As a feeling that's subjective from person to person and place to place, of course.  That said, I really don't care for her house.  To me, it seems like it's not quite enough of one thing or the other.  I especially dislike the living room with the weird "light installation" and the 80s looking marble bar.  I do like the paintings around the house.  The dining room is better.  I don't like the hamam at all, but that might be because I lived in Abu Dhabi for years and am just over that sort of thing.  I think it's pretentious, silly, and out of place.  YMMV, of course.  :)

Yes, she seems happy but I don't care any more than I would about anyone else.  Great that she is.  I'd like everyone to be happy.  Seems like it ought to be a touch easier for her than the average person.[/quote]
