    beautiful house. i'd change some of the stuffier armchairs, sofas and chairs, and that horrendous four-poster bed and those ridiculous plant things in the entrance foyer but the dude's got a beautiful art collection and some gorgeous pieces and the house itself is beautiful.

    I like it too; I especially love the window seat. Always wanted one.

    I love the house but would change a lot of the furniture. I'll keep the dogs though!!

    I have a feeling they ripped out a lot of the original features, mouldings, cornices, etc. I like the floors, especially the diagonal boards in the hallway. Hate the furniture and the paintjob is way too bright white.

    Would refurnish, though.
