Ever wonder whether these properties are for sale because the unfortunate owner had to let the interior design contract to their cousin/paramour/drunken brother-in-law… and it was just easier to put the whole thing on the market than to say anything about it?

Although… I do like the detailing in the living/dining room (Pics 5, 6) That’s a gorgeous Art Nouveau inspired lighting fixture. Never seen anything quite like it before. And parts of the other living room (Pics 10, 11, 12) are cool, like the full-on Medieval chandeliers and the articulated ceiling. But not the loud drapes and screen on the built-in, despite being set in a near-monochromatic room.

The kids’ rooms are pretty spartan, but the ones in Pics 24-28 make up for them. Maybe they don’t want the little ones having nightmares? Even the patio set is loud, but under the endless Arizona sky it works. The patio area is lovely, especially the Alhambra-like fountain and tiles. Except… I never knew there were bocci ball courts at the Alhambra.
