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!

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!

B&O was the only brand they could find with mirrorlike speakers.

Just think how quickly you would want to redecorate if you brought it.

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.

That is so kitsch it makes Graham Norton seem as sensible as wholemeal bread.

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...

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!"

Weird. Narcisstic with the mirrored bedrooms and the mirrored ceiling in the office area.

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

Donald Trump could be interested.... he has pretty bad taste!

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!
