Check this one out:
Came across that in an estate-sale organizer’s online ad. It’s an image of a bedroom in a Scottsdale house.
Talk about more money than taste, eh?
Yesh, I believe that is exactly what it appears to be: the Happy Homeowner has stapled custom appliquéd, quilted padding to the walls. Is that astonishing, or is that not astonishing? To say nothing of hideous.
What possesses people? Is there something about the term “gawdawful unholy fire hazard” that’s hard to figure out? How about “property value”? Breathes there a buyer who craves to strip that crud off the walls and probably reinstall the drywall or at the least float a thick coat of plaster to cover up the damage?
They so loved this exquisite motif that they had matching pillows made…
And astonishingly, they found a hideous black fake plant arrangement to go with!
Okay, you have to admit: that was a find. What a find it is.
Ain’t humanity fun?
Okay, I get we all don’t have the same taste, but what the heck is with the padding on the bedside tables? And something else is cloth covered in the lower right hand corner.
Perhaps this is where the modern Mr. Rochester keeps his deranged wife while he makes moon eyes at the governess?
LOL! Actually, YEARS ago, I belonged to a local women’s business group, one of whose members had an interior decorating company whose sole trade was to pad furniture like this. She never mentioned padding the wall…but that could be a late development.
The woman had padded coffee tables. Padded occasional tables. Even a padded dining-room table!
Dollah to donuts the owner is that self-same woman….
“Upholstered.” I believe she called her tables “upholstered tables,” not “padded.”
Is it just me, or does that look like a “funny room” for some ex-celebrity? Though much more expensive than a straight jacket.
LOL! Anything’s possible, around this place!
I suppose, come to think of it, that upholstering the walls in your bedroom would go a long way toward sound insulation. It might even add some insulation against the heat. What if the stuffing was that pink fluffy roll insulation you can get at HD? Hmmmm….
