How many B&O items can you find?
B&O is obviously not only the brand for lovers of minimalistic design... http://www.ulflundin.se/common/capitex/misc/popup.aspx?ActivePage=/pages/objbesk.ascx&OBJGUID=3H5T1EI4BCQMLUP2&OBJTYPE=CMVilla http://www.ulflundin.se/common/capitex/misc/popup.aspx?Title=Lundins&ActivePage=/pages/bilder.ascx&OBJGUID=3H5T1EI4BCQMLUP2&OBJTYPE=CMVilla&typ=alla How many B&O items can you find?

Re: How many B&O items can you find?
Thanks for the link. I noticed I did not get it right. And no, it isn´t my house... But as it is for sale it could perhaps be something for our fellow Beoworlders? SEK 4 850 000 (appr. EUR 525 000). Well invested money in 65 square meters.

Re: How many B&O items can you find?
Well, I don't know about the house, but I've already sent an email asking Annie Malarborn to marry me. I think I have my priorities in order here, Russ

Re: How many B&O items can you find?

Re: How many B&O items can you find?
nobby: HIDEOUS!
I have to disagree Neil - it's far worse than that! In response to the OP - I couldn't see ANY B&O, my eyes automatically shut themselves in self preservation after the first 2 pictures Chris.
The use of metaphors should be avoided like the plague. They're like a red rag to a bull to me.

Re: How many B&O items can you find?
Fair dos - it does appear to include it's own Pole Dancing Bar! (Although I'm not sure where you'll find a Polish lass with that poor a taste to dance for you)
Generally speaking, you aren't learning much if your lips are moving.

Re: How many B&O items can you find?
Clearly not decorated with resale value in mind! Finding someone with equally particular taste will be a challenge. Anyone notice the two "gnomes with suits" sitting on the bench outside? It's as if they wondered how to cap the phenomenal work performed inside. When I was house hunting a few years ago I came across a residence that had been tiled in totality. The mirrors here reminded me of it. Tiled absolutely everywhere, floors/walls/cabinets/even some of the furniture. I was sure that if you had run a garden hose through the window into one of the first floor rooms you could turn that floor into a swimming pool. The estate agent told me they had been trying to sell for two years, with no takers. Good luck to the House of Mirrors!

+1 - clearly no style and simply excess in everyway possible.. vile and very much a statement about the owners.

Re: How many B&O items can you find?
It's hard to count them when you see 4 Avants in one picture. What about the outside veranda? I guess this is where the owners goes when they want to feel a little bit crazy. No mirrors. Just wood on the walls and two cheap plastic furnitures. But the best part is the last picture: Wife: "Honey, what shall we do with the five trees we have?" Man: "What about rebuilding them to a train station" Wife: "But we don't have any tracks!" Man: "But we have a train station clock" Wife: "OK dear, but only if we place my giant anchor there!" Man: "Deal!"

Re: How many B&O items can you find?
It is not only the worst house I've seen, this guy should be forbbiden to buy (and show!) anything B&O. But the question is I'm pretty sure it will sell easy, mainly for one reason: bad taste is the most democratic thing in the world. It doesn't choose religion, gender, race or social class...

Re: How many B&O items can you find?
Tom: Very bad taste IMO!
Yes, but I am very surprised how well B&O blends in to this very "different" interiour design... a big applaus to B&O for making equipment that actually works well in aparently every setting. br Chr.

Re: How many B&O items can you find?
B&O was the only brand they could find with mirrorlike speakers.

Re: How many B&O items can you find?
Well, I caught the two gnomes in suits seated on the bench on the terrace, but I missed the Irish leprechauns on each side of the entrance to the house. This is beyond parody. They're probably giving the reclining cement doe a hungry eye!

Re: How many B&O items can you find?
In photo 28 (i think) (bedroom with avant) there appears to be a BV7 stand which is being used to hold a mobile phone and alarm clock. Strange!
