I have seem some really amazing houses using recycled glass and other unique building materials in a way that works. The blue bottles in the window would work if the windows were actually level and had some type of symmetry. The color scheme is a nightmare, and the plaster chairs are senseless. (Sitting on plaster frequently would eventually cause it to wear down and people would be breathing in particles.)The surrounding property is lovely as is the view, and the window seat in the kitchen has some merits, but the rest of the joint needs to be completely gutted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548832815603141151.post-56555245714348846992008-09-29T06:48:00.000-07:002008-09-29T06:48:00.000-07:00HIDEOUS does not begin to describe this home.
