1) Hard to believe someone could spend so much money on something that looks so....what's the word....ghastly?

2) Where's the white grand piano?

IKR???

The Zillow Gone Wild guy had a video of Elon Musk's house, which is currently listed for something like $36 million. And he has a little black upright piano in one of the rooms. Didn't anyone tell him?? You put a 9' Bösendorfer Imperial in there or nothing!

That house is going to cost a lot more to restore than the one in Colorado where the tenant trashed the place.

Also have to wonder what the selling agent thought when he got the call to come look at the house...

I actually kind of like the living room with its meticulously matched magenta and green elements. The light fixture over the corner table is cool.

That's what Mr. SK and I kept saying as we looked through the photos! We were also remarking that, it seems the house is set up to entertain. I'd like to know what the owners wore when guests came over....

Also, piqué:

There was so much going on I didn't notice that, but you're right.

There are probably a lot of items in the house that, on their own, would be nice, but none of the items are on their own....

I think the dining room might be a weight loss strategy. No one is going to want to eat in there.
