The whole place seems to be designed more for large, lavish parties than day-to-day living, too.

As for the “Indian” furniture, it’s not the furniture itself, but rather the sort of damask looking upholstery, which reminds me of Indian fabrics, colors, and patterns because it seems to have the iridescent quality of looking either greenish or pinkish depending on your viewing angle.

This house is full of all kinds of oddness.

Some of it is really hard to comment on, like the mix and match colors vacuumed fuzzy upholstery sectional in the mirrored antique slot machine room (photo 17). Sit here and look at mu slot machines. Just don’t touch them, and make sure you vacuum the upholstery when you leave so it looks pristine.

Then there’s the throne in the wine cellar decorated otherwise with old military hats and fake ivy.

How about that dusty-looking tiki roof over the bar in the curved hall.

Then there’s the hidden don’t-watch-me-play volleyball or badminton court.

I do have to say that the water area, while odd, is kind of cool, even with the potential for swimmer flambe. I guess with all it’s other environmental rules and water shortages California just didn’t consider this contingency.

If I bought this place I’d throw myself a welcome party and hire a band to play “Vibrato in the Grotto.”
