No color, stone, fabric, style, wood species, decorative painting technique or era was neglected in the design of this home.

I don't really see "excess" and think the house and its interior are very pleasant. I especially like the skull over the one sink.

When I think of St Louis, I think of Fred Sanford, and this house is very restrained in comparison.

We lived in Ladue for a couple of years,Maddielee. It’s a great place and the amount of good housing stock was impressive. Every few years I look at the real estate in Ladue and Clayton just for fun. A lot of the houses in Warson Woods have been given the gray, white and black treatment, mostly to their detriment.

Oh good, I see bathroom carpeting is making a comeback.

These are my ”favorites”…

What the…?

Lol, Lars, I was wondering if anyone would notice that skull. It’s so very……extra.

The outside areas are so beautiful. I’m really curious what the inside looked like when it was built (1926).

I’d like to go shopping in this house; I see a lot of furniture I like.

While everything isn’t to my taste, it’s still pretty refreshing to see today … I just came from looking at RE in my town. Gray. And more gray. And even more gray. Including two houses from the 1880’s, and one 1950’s MCM, I used to admire. All ruined now — original woodwork painted gray or white, with gray walls, original fireplaces torn out, painted brick, old wood floors replaced with that gray multi-toned stuff, and bathrooms looking like they came out of a Hilton.

@Kswl, I was born in St. Louis, spent my young years in Clayton. It was nice seeing that my childhood neighborhood and home (Warder Av) was still thriving and lovely when we visited a few years ago.

There are some spaces i like such as the closet, the kitchen BS, the workout room, and the pool house.

Is this sink a piece of glass?

I wondered that myself, Maddielee. It could be molded acrylic, I guess. There are just so many styles in the one abode, it’s as though they wanted to make sure to have a little but of everything from Zuber wallpaper in the dining room to Goth skull in the bathroom. And Venetian glass in the bathroom, and a ”mod” molded sink in the bathroom…..

The exterior of the house is quite nice and the gardens are lovely.

Cyn, I thought the same. I was browsing the pictures thinking what I could do to easily tone down the rooms and when I landed on the garden photos, my eyes said Thank You.

I was surprised to find positive comments of the kitchen backsplash. Anything I cook would greatly pale in comparison.

I rather like the walls in the stairway. Good green paint, good wallpaper. They really let me down with the bland stair runner.

I would have to take out all the furniture, all the window treatments and all the wall treatments to actually enjoy what this house has to offer. The area rugs can stay.

The outside though is beautiful, so peaceful and relaxing - so different from the inside.

I agree with cyn and blfenton. The grounds are a restful delight after seeing the inside. A few of the bathrooms and a couple of other rooms seem almost normal, while the others are too over-done for me.

I think I would be happiest living in the garden shed.

This house was decorated by someone who thinks they are a maximalist like Miles Redd, but clearly are not.

This is not so bad:

It's not the most excessive level of excess I've seen, but it's up there.

I like many of the rooms individually. I especially liked this room:

The kitchen though...I think I saw 4 different cabinet colors, 3 door profiles, 3 different counter materials, and 2 different backsplashes, plus embellishments like the range hood detail. The mosaic backsplash was nice on its own, but that was the room that had me calling a time-out, "Whoa! Too much! Too much!"

That’s the room I liked also Cawaps.

I agree completely with your assessment. It’s just one of everything!

I like the outside of the house and the grounds.

It would be interesting to see the house with all of the furniture and window treatments removed. The kitchen is a big mishmash (IMO).

Oh dear!

There are many nice things highlighted in the video. It’s just a LOT, so taste specific, but I admire someone willing to go for it vs. the blandness of gray or some of the other high end homes here that are hideous.

What is on the wall with the white cabinets and then there’s the plates at the end of the hall. They almost look like masks of some sort.

I didn't mind this formal space, as a formal space:

And the sunrooms were pleasant. Good use of leopard print in some areas. The kitchen has like, what, 5 different cabinet styles/stains?

It's too bad they didn't make the detached garage more in the style of the home.

I wondered if the less opulent rooms were from the 'in-laws' apartment? Either that or it seems much of the home was a show case for "look what we CAN do" vs the less decorated rooms--where they actually LIVE. The ONE thing I would love to have was the bathroom window.

Before I could even think of buying this home the owners would have to move out and take all their furniture and window treatments with them. It's just tooooo too much one can't see the homes bones. Imagine the storage a stager would require!!!

I stopped after the skull over the sink decor. :0) Whoever put this all together....needs an Adams's Family award.

I've seen worse. The grounds are gorgeous, and many of the rooms would be lovely if a few elements were removed. It's clear that someone loved this house very much, although they did create something that's quite taste-specific and I wonder if it will appeal to many prospective buyers.
